SRL Archive - News and General

I thought that since autoing got most of the prices of items go be cheap now they are outrageously HIGH so what we should do…

We Make Army's and Auto on them so that we get a great deal of RAW items in Runescape then sell them for Low so the prices can go down….

I'm Doing it now..

Why would you want to lower the prices? bot up & sell for high, make more $

we should crash shark and willows (or maple) or yews, so alching willow long (will acturally make money)same with getting 99 cooking and selling willow long (U)s will make money too:)

Willow and maple logs are already as low as they can go. Willow bows wether unstrung or not are already as low as they can go. No one buys (U) willows or maples, they are used in junk trading.

no duh:)

If we lowered willow by 2 MORE gp, we can have PHR33 99 fletching:)

Look we auto sell for low make prices go down

who cares:) If you need cash, plenty of other ways:)

Lowest rate is what 15gp for willows? And it's stuck on market at that. I don't think it'd lower.
There is a G.E. manipulation thread somewhere on here I think.

Lowest for willow right now is 18 each, we need16!

Its fixed at 18 each.

1) I don't think SRL controls the market. RSBot has way more botters (leechers, but botters nontheless) from what I've seen (When there was no update on RSBot for 5-6 hours, about 2000 people posted, many of them making their first post). When SRL needs an update, a hundred people or so (max) post about it.

2) Personally, even if we could, I think that would be a bad idea… Why would you want to sell autoed goods for less? Higher is better by far, because you can

* Auto it and sell for more than you would for less (obviously)
* If you need it but don't want to pay a lot then just auto it

Personally, I don't think it makes sense to lower prices. If anything, sell everything at MID-MAX to keep prices from falling.

Agreed completely, we have a lot less control over the market because some of us don't even auto, some people stay just for the fact they like the community. At rsbot, 90%+ of the population is leechers. Runescapuan the end of your sig is cut off.

… because some of us don't even auto, some people stay just for the fact they like the community.

Guilty, I do occasionally, but not since I got detained.

I don't really auto, I am here because it is also a SCAR community and not just runescape, and I like to script. I sometimes auto though.

In some sense runescape script users do control the prices. Because autoers make available many of the awesome products on the market, prices are able to keep reasonable. If all sales of autoed products stopped for one/two month(s), the prices on the market would skyrocket.

Nobody's arguing that botters control the market. Now whether SRL controls the market is another story…

no, i think we should just keep autoing until everything is too expensive to buy. then Jagex will think twice about the Grand Exchange and limited trading.

I agree with making prices go higher. however if something gets to high (for a false example air runes costing 150 each.) Fagex would probably adjust the price themselves.

I don't know if you were around to remember what happened last time the market was flooded with low priced goods or not. If you weren't, it was trade restrictions.

I don't know about you, but I would rather not have more trade restrictions. They weren't just because of rwt.

What needs to go down is Yews…

it would be very hard to do this because for 1, even if we could "lower" the prices by ourselves, it would simply rise the very next day with people noticing prices are dropping , and wanting that item a lot more, making the demand go way back up again. No 1 community is big enough to do this yet… i doubt there ever will be. But yes, i bet you could accomplish this for a day or two before people start buying like crazy. (depends on the item)

"autoers lowering the prices" is just a figure of speech. it has to do with the economy.

This is possably the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why would you want to make less money….

If we keep autoing then i am sore that the prices will go down so we don't get more money from autoing. So i think we should auto

shop prices are controlled by g.e, willows go down 2gp in the g.e, they go down 2gp in the shop

In my opinion RSBot controls more than SRL due to the leechers.

Since there is a Buy-X option in stores, the price would never go that high, (it's 17 in stores btw). How could it, even if you managed to craft the tens of billions of air runes a month required… People would never buy them…

So you want to try an item that doesn't have a Buy-X option in stores? All prices of every item in RS that are even close to being important, are somehow tied to a fixed value. Mithril ore, is based on the price of 4 coal, plus 1 nature rune required to superheat 1 mithril bar. Which in turn are tied to yadda yadda. I find that most things ultimately end with high-alch prices, but there are so many factors.

OK, so, assuming you managed to gain a monopoly on one item, big deal. No-one would spend 5k for a mithril ore. If they wanted to level smithing, they would go with addy or steel etc instead… Jagex wouldn't change there trade limit ways even if one item was destroyed, there are thousands of items. And, like you said, they are all-powerful, they could just fix the item, either directly or indirectly. Like making a new shop with Buy-X mithril ore, or a mining minigame…

Next, you underestimate the amount of accounts… There are millions of active ones, and less then 60,000 SRL members, (of which less then 3k are active).

Lastly, Jagex could just IP ban you, if you autoed too much and got banned too much, (which is inevitable).

I won't say that autoing doesn't affect item prices, it certainly does, but something like this would result in an Epic Fail all around =p

I'm making loads of money off of 99 fletching. I make 100 gp per maple long!

On topic: Why lower? You are a silly, silly boy.

I don't know if you were around to remember what happened last time the market was flooded with low priced goods or not. If you weren't, it was trade restrictions.

I don't know about you, but I would rather not have more trade restrictions. They weren't just because of rwt.

I also wouldnt like to have more trade resrictions. But also agree with making the prices go up.

Lowest is good because for instance if you sold 10k nature runes for 5gp less you loose like 50k so no big loss but if the overall price of nats go down by 5gp the price of ess will also probably drop so you will make the same profit. The advantage of doing this is that you can then train magic without lossing as much money/even make profit. Another point is that if we can get everything cheaper you wont need as much money because everything will cost less!

Dude massive grave dig

closed. start a new one if you feel like it, but the situation has changed a lot.
