Rares, Inflation, and GP

Pi,
Personally, I wonder why Jagex would put items from coinshare on the GE, when they can more easily just give the mid price to the players and destroy the item.

Taken from the RSKB:

The total number of coins is based on the item's guide price on the Grand Exchange. The item will also be added to the Grand Exchange at the guide price. Any items sold on the Grand Exchange from CoinSharing will have no effect on that item's market value. A cap may also be applied to the cash you receive from your share, to limit any market manipulation that may be attempted by using CoinShare.

I believe the reason is so that the item can be brought into circulation, you can not just rely on people using lootshare or going solo on boss fights to make valuable items available.
