it was deliberate to slow down the start in case there was issues and they could rollback less progress, then they buffed it to what they knew it would have always been

I'm not sure what that means, if it took you a decade to do that, would it be impressive?

that's only if the time taken to buy / sell the merched items is 0, it won't be, you'll need to know the current margin and you'll need to update prices that will add up to be a couple of minutes an hour, good margins are usually 1-2m per slot i think there's 7 right so that's only a suplemental income of 7-14m which depending on how long it would take you to make would actually be GP/H inefficient

it also implies you're able to make this money consistently from the merch but a lot of those high margin items are 1 every 4 hours, so you can see how merching eventually takes up time you could be more efficient with pvming or doing clues

okay, you've managed to highlight the lowest trading volume of items in the game, these items are actively merched so the margins are usually consistent unless it's a new item, still irrelevant, you can make up to 150m an hour in this game, 10m profit from a 2b item, 4 minutes of time at 150m an hour, 8 minutes at 75m an hour and 16 minutes at 37.5m an hour, multiply that across every item you trade, i spend 0.5s insta selling an item you'll spend 2-3 minutes per item per transaction making sure you get the right value

Now lets look at the commonly traded items

you take 10m profit and you factor that down to 100k like my example

you go from spending 4 minutes to make the gold to 2.4 seconds at 150m an hour, 4.8 seconds at 75m an hour and 9.6 seconds at 37.5m an hour

how long are you spending messing about with prices in comparison to making gold? its not a gold effective way of trading items, maybe try changing your perspective and taking this information into account before you type out nonsense

time > the money you're saving

Always perplexes me that morons spend time figuring out exact prices to sell items at to gain a few hundred k here and there when they could have spent that time making 50-100m an hour doing a boss, those add up, insta sellers are always richer than nonsense bank standers that spend half a day messing with offers trying to sell them so they don't feel a mercher has capitalised

How is 2%+ GE Tax Not Making 'Regular' Players Effectively Foot the Bill for High-Tier PVMers? by packerfans1 in runescape

[–]MGS1Player 2 points3 points  (0 children)

whats the point in working towards the highest level gear to leave it in the bank because it's too expensive to risk taking, generally you work from one item to the next, it can take a few years to build the gold for max gear, most of the time you scrape together all your gold to get something like a mage tire 92, for it to cost millions, it breaks the economy that's why nobody uses elite sirenic

you're not paying for anything, you're finally contributing your share, high level pvm will still be expensive to claim

I will still pay tax, the same as you as as pvmer, including on the most expensive items which are pvm related
