You can buy Runescape gold. For 30 million it's 5 bucks, give or take a 1.77 or more on deals. So let's say you want to spend $99.99 at a gold store, that's 6-700M. That? Enough to buy every good, max set in the game and have plenty left over for repairs. Because all skill level 90+ is a power set that needs to be fixed. 2,500,000 for something like 90 hours of combat time. In that time you can make that money back with the right skills and the right farming spots.
GS4 has a cash shop problem, admittedly, but that's because we don't exactly have a bot problem. Compared to some Worlds in Runescape, you're looking at a market full of gold bots with no consequence (trust me, I botted the fuck out runescape). If you're not afraid to go outside the norm? You can buy enough gold to be set in every way.
And poor Venezuelans!

You kick Rone!
I`m not too interested in getting high-end gear. I`m fine enough if I can get some x5 Full plate with Disruption Flares and T5 ensorcelled. I dont think Izthir Armour is something that`ll complete me or a Blink Claidh or whatever. I`m just stating that whatever Gemstone Players do, one way or the other they are contributing with the problem.

Well I mean you were just complaining about not being able to get adamantite armor, so this doesn't make sense.
This sounds like you just want to complain about people playing Gemstone and being guilty for its continued survival. How terrible!
I found a company worse than EA:
Oof.
300 million could get Savants implemented. Let's leave it at that.
I've never bought silvers (at least in the past 10 years or so that I can remember... maybe a mill back when silvers was >$10). My high watermark for silver was about 70m. You know... one good thing about a fairly mature economy is the ability to invest silvers into things that may appreciate value, and then sell them for more money. That's a way to get more silvers. Additionally, there are artisan crafts, alchemy, hunting, and other ways to make money. Arguably, not that much, but I don't think anyone will put it against you to script alchemy, fletching, or forging while you do something else.
