I Am glad, as it was (and still is) out of control. At least now maybe they will look before they leap.<br /><br />00chief00Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801721943685906772.post-31420758755069878802009-06-08T12:39:33.598-04:002009-06-08T12:39:33.598-04:00Good, the price manipulators got their just desert...Good, the price manipulators got their just deserts!Aximili E Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005320827910773642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801721943685906772.post-2775035673528724822009-06-08T11:19:07.045-04:002009-06-08T11:19:07.045-04:00Yeap, I saw your explanation on TruthScape forum, ...Yeap, I saw your explanation on TruthScape forum, which is plausible.

This will drive the price of the item down but few orders will be filled.<br /><br />This does not strike me as being any sort of esoteric behavior of the GE but is the natural consequence of the GE performing in a reasonable way. The GE was not programed to favor merchant clans so no one should be surprised when merchant clans attempts to exploit the GE occasionally fail.<br /><br />There is a possibility that Jagex did something "funny" to limpwurt trades, but the limpwurt trade behavior can be explained with out resorting to the explanation of divine intervention on the part of Jagex.<br /><br />Buried in the threads you point to are my explanation on how an item can be bought out and the price of the item can still go down.Knifestormnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801721943685906772.post-14607538471894820182009-06-08T10:37:25.530-04:002009-06-08T10:37:25.530-04:00Good on them.
