removing high alc would ruin many aspects of the game and unbalance things to much, as for items being sold in stores 200k is plenty expensive for drag axe without people hoarding and merching them into 1m each and most items you cant buy in stores which is why there are so many skillers on the server.

There problem is real simple: lack of players.

To keep an economy strong there is several aspects of the game missing. One strong one is players.
Only issue is the high xp that's a good and a bad thing.
Why do u think there was so many pkers on the org RSC? Bc skilling was very hard and time consuming.
With low amount of skillers it kept the economy at bay.
Pkers are good for the economy. It burns resources. Tons of them.
When u have 200+ players that can kill high level NPCs and get good drops or adds to the economy.
That's the issue, xp rates.
I have been on this server for 7days of game time. My skill total is 1203. I have 80 smithing already. Among other high levels.
It shouldn't of took me only 7days to get 1203 skill total.
That's what killing the economy, but for a private server you have to have high xp rates or people will leave.
On the org RSC there wasn't many players that could smith rune armour.
Not many players could kill a KBD or fire giant easily.
They aspects are what's hurting the economy. And adding the territory to the wild is hurting it more. I see a increase of rune ores. Addy ores ect hitting the marketplace.
I see 80,000 nature runes from 1 player.
That's insane. Either drop rates, or xp rates need to be lowered to keep the economy truly stable.
That's just my thoughts

There problem is real simple: lack of players.

Making shop times a little slower and drop rates a little less of what they are now would help. Making any exp lower would be dumb, so many high level pkers and skillers the new people wouldn't stay and taking out high and/or low alch would cause chaos and a huge flood to the markets. Maybe add a 5 second timer instead of the 3 for them to remove some income of money but ultimately, it is the lack of consumers. Lots of shops selling and few buyers buying type thing. We need a little of everything to fix anything. Even then, it would only be small amounts. Maybe even adding a tax to enter guilds, a tax on ah and even a tax on items in the castle chest I. Wild.

I say just make a place to exchange large amounts of items for perks like maybe a double logout timer or more expensive items/large amounts of items for double xp time/ or double stackables while farming  or something like that. Anyway items for perks. Not items for other items. Flush a bunch of rune and dragon out of the market that way.

I like this idea.

I don't see why a couple mods couldn't simply monitor the auction house and strategically buy items and destroy them on a daily basis (Not buying items of those who undercut, only paying fair market value). Add a small tax to the auction house to help offset the extra incoming gold to the market. I would think this would keep resource value high. It also wouldn't be a very time consuming process. A person can understand the market by watching it for 10 mins per day, the daily purchases would take minutes to execute.

Well, It's not like mods can just spawn gp to buy the items to destroy. They don't have that power. They would have to use their own personal money and they are just normal players like us other than having a mod account. They spend their own money to buy subs for events or take donations.
