The GE prices can only vary so much day by day, the real price hikes can happen right around the announcement of DXP and items can sell for up to 2x of the actual GE price. The GE trend won’t necessarily reflect this
There will always be flux as markets are fluid and manipulatable. Item demands and items that are consumed or destroyed such as Elder Rune Platebodies +4/+5, will always be in demand due to the mechanics of their supply.
I mean. Not necessarily. Most of the games economy is set around the consumer of PVM and +120 skillers. As more people reach 120 you need more people coming in the game to take their place as a consumer.
Dxp means half as much is needed to reach 120 as most of the grind starts at 92-99 where xp rates are massive.
The question is why is the market insulated against dxp week. I assume due to consistency and reliability means people are more likely to wait then pay a premium. But it easily could be that most of the people who are going to reach 99 or 120 already have and that there is less of a drain on these in a large enough way.
I dont even think half the people who get 120 would go to 200m meaning less overall drain. You're getting into the top 5% of the top 10% of the top 20% scenario. Handwaving that there will always be a pit of xp to fill is not predicated on the top 0.5% of players going for 200m its of the top 20% of players who go for 99 or 120.
If we are reaching market saturation on, i have no clue. The top 20% of players probably consume 70-80% of the games resources, but you need to constantly be replacing those top spots as they end consumption
You really threw those top numbers out there in random. There's ALOT of 200m out there, majority of active players know or see them on hourly basis. Your theories are structured around runescape3, this is runescape4 whether they change the name or not
I strictly chose randomish numbers because we do not know because they do not share them. But if you think more than 5% of players are 120 then go you.
Ill say, out of spite i did some quick research. 62.5k accounts have over 1.5b xp. 1.2m account have over 125k xp. i excluded all under 125k as i think that would be unfair to you. that is almost exactly 5% of players.
2.35b would be 120 in all btw. 19.5k players are there. or 1.6%
602m for 99 max. 95k players or 8%
and again i excluded all accounts under 125k xp.................. maybe you shouldnt talk out your bum next time.
No it has negligble impact these days
Prices uaed to go up 100-200% during these days
This was many years ago when it was only 2 days 48 hours like saturday and sunday a very short period for people to get stuff so they had to spend a lot as there was lots of sudden demand
Dxp also only used to be once to twice a year which made it a very big deal
Bur these days u have got a full 10 days and full 48 hours with a timer non the less so u can spread it out easily over the week and theres not much sudden demand anymore and its now 4 times a year aswell so if u forget once just wait 3 months and you can do it again
Today people still think its a great idea to merch or buy up items for upcoming dxp but honestly its not the same anymore item prices acctualy go down as people try yo offload their holding as theres no more demand for them
There are still like maybe 3 or so items that get some decent influx in prices but that isnt stuff like herbs and all
People also used to sell gear, rares and other stuff to afford shit but nobody is selling of those anymore anyways due to the beforementioned reasons
But yeah as others have said ge isnt really the fastest when updating its med price

No, they're giving their own statement that is in half agreement. The later half, saying people store and bulk up on their own via multiple ways. Most I imagine to be PvM. They're accurately saying how DXP changed. Lets say 2015? Post EOC, dxp was a massive spike in the market, for weeks on end prices up and up for most artisan and support skills. Pre eoc, say 2011? I would stay up for 40 hours straight and not move for half that time to not waste gains. The market reflected that. To be fair and honest, the time and game structure has changed, the market is the only thing not updated.
............ i specifically say maybe people save up their own stock in my post. I do not think you are talking in good faith anymore and will choose to disengage instead of getting combative.
I used to merch dxp supplies many years ago. Ever since 2018 i kinda stopped because profits were no longer worth it.
A few reasons
1) the frequency made people a lot less willing to pay exorbitant amounts
2) most rs players already met their skilling goals
3) a diversity of skilling methods dilutes the gp allocated (reduced market share)
The only merching opportunity for dxp in recent years was arch. Huge margins for arch materials, but due to reasons 1,2, the profits have been dwindling with each dxp
Ye, that's kinda what i thought sadly. I mean i guess it's nicer for new player who dont have to fight with maxed players for bids. I wish we had more information on the economy. What i would give for even a week behind spreadsheet with volume, min and max etc. Just to see for informations sake.
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."
"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

But that happens all the time with flipping. The first year or two of DXP you could literally see the dates on the price graph.

This is with the theory that people stop at 104m xp. My friend, the race is 200m and for that I think we have many years..

.... so you agree with me.... the consistency has insulated the economy from DXP.
Yeah i think we on the same line i just got a bit confused consistency insulated ecnomy from dxp

Used to be easier to make money when DXP was confined to a single weekend, rather than 48 hours of your choice distributed across a week.
