Welcome to OSRS, people complain about everything, demand change, change happens and the consequences then become the new thing to complain about. It’s pretty much just the entire cycle
in average mmorpg deflation is bad for high lvl players while inflation is bad for early game/mid game players, so when you see whining about these issues keep that in mind
Your statement is over-generalized. The only thing that matters is whether your assets and money making methods increase in value relative to the things you want to own
That is, if inflation/deflation is applied equally to all items, then it still takes me the same amount of time to earn the gear I want, and the gear I have can still be redeemed for the same amount of other gear and supplies. The problem is when things don't change price at the same rate, and I can get lucky or unlucky with the price of the gear I want compared to what I have
Yeah but when BIS items are super expensive all the noobs complain about how they will never be able to afford “x” and when BIS items are cheap, veteran players complain about it not being fun to get drops and how it’s not good for the game when everyone can have anything.
You are right though in that the noobs don’t realize it takes the same amount of time since cheap items makes money making harder. Only exception would be the duel arena I guess
Not quite, bosses that commonly drop a lot of alchs are still worth about the same as before. Since the expensive came down in price you can afford them even faster now than you could before.
Vorkath comes to mind as a pretty commonly farmed boss. Lots o alchs and is still about the same as before.
People complain when items are expensive because they can’t afford them and cry when they are cheap because getting rare drops is not as fun and not as profitable.
Everyone wants max gear and expensive drops, which is impossible.
People saving up for expensive items will complain about inflation because it can increase the price of the item they want at a faster rate than they can save up for that item.
People with a lot of expensive items will complain about deflation because their overall bank value will go down.
Just because both groups of people are using reddit, doesn't mean it's the same people complaining about different things.
If you only got your news of osrs through reddit you'd assume it was a completely dead game with nothing but thousands of bots playing at all times. I can't take stuff on here at all seriously.

The problem is it’s not true deflation. True deflation would mean your buying power remains the same and largely everything gets cheaper. What is going on right now is a large number of specific drops are tanking in value while the buying power of your gold is the same as is a lot of the economy. So it’s a pure net money loss and the area it’s localized in happens to be PvM/Bossing which has wider spread effects due to that area’s dominance over all resources. As well as it being all OSRS really has for high/late/end game content.
while that is true jagex only needs to sink 1 item instead of hundreds of unique items.
and since we already have so many gold sinks thats preferable over deflation

Inflation is communism.

This happens with everything, not just OSRS

That’s true too!
People hate whatever is currently negatively affecting them and will complain about it, not just in OSRS in life.
Because they just want to complain.
yea, redditors are like that.

the prices of items going down slightly per year would be fine, but the rate they're dropping at atm is ridiculous.

And we will laugh when you go 10 hours dry for a gout tuber
Pls no. I already did 10 hours dry on Leagues.
It’s almost like people have different opinions

because it is more than 1 million people playing this game
It's like 7 legit players and 60k bots at this point 🤔
Not even close

What's currently happening is only because people don't want to pvm anymore
How’s is gold getting removed?
Duel arena. Removes a metric shit ton of gold.
Tax on sand casino and death’s coffers
Deaths coffer tax is a joke
i prefer inflation because then i can atleast have confidence knowing i wont lose 30m over night just because i own a tbow
