Only in recent times did it become widespread to price items in RoWs, which makes the stability of their value economically important.

People will mearly find something else to base thier items value on they changed before and they will again....RoS's for example will follow the price of RoW's people will base thier items on a RoS. I once traded a darkflame for a RoS and it was a very good trade on my part.

An unsafe assumption. The economic position of diamonds didn't change when their price increased from 300 plat to 500 plat.

When people can't sell thier diamonds at 500 plat they will drop to 450 its supply and demand and nothing can hold that price.

Yes, I know about supply and demand.

What I'm saying is that when the value of items that play a large role in the economy (i.e. Diamonds, RoWs) change, it has a big impact on the economy. So staff should use their control over supply to prevent the prices of such items from increasing or decreasing from their generally accepted long-term values.

Are you seriously suggesting the inflation in the price of RoWs is good for the economy? If so, I'd like to hear why.

That's really quite stupid.

The GK economy evolves - EAs used to be worth an ass-load back when +12 and such was new; now they're cheap. The same goes for brutals. When all of those stacked brutals were released at such huge ammounts players started wanting them.
