Dont really get how this is going to work in any of the ways jagex described.
The only thing i can see happening is people just buying gp from jagex, which is worse than from the gold farmers cause its magically being spawned in the game... at least with the gold farming it takes some sort of time and isnt just on-demand. Its gunna have to be cheaper than the gold farmers if anyone is to use that over them, but then that just brings the value of GP down even more... which is the exact opposite thing you need to do in order to stabilize an economy.
If anything this is just going to make more people buy GP because jagex have pretty much just made it part of the rules.
It could also mean less money from membership for jagex depending on how much these things are selling for in-game. If the players truly are setting the price then thats probably going to be the case.
Not sure jagex have quite grasped the idea of a money sink yet either...
