I've been pondering this overly ambitious idea and I thought I might as well throw it out.
The SRL community is quite large and likely quite powerful within the virtual boundaries of Runescape. However, it seems to me that if we were all to work together and combine forces, we could accomplish much more.
My idea is this then: to mobilize the SRL community by making a sudden, unified attack on the Grand Exchange.
What sort of 'attack', you ask? Well, what I had in mind was focusing all our riches on single item, so that we buy up all of it on the exchange. In this way, no other player would be able to buy that item from the exchange, and therefore would have to buy it from us, who have hoarded close to the entire world's supply. We can then charge high prices and leisurely sell them off to the highest bidder, making a large profit in addition to notoriety.
Jagex has taken many measures to prevent an individual from achieving a monopoly, such as a limit to how much of a certain good you can buy per a certain amount of time, but they have overlooked the power of a combined effort, and I believe we could make this work.
I have thought about what item we should target, and I will recommend the law rune for three reasons:
-It is a necessity for many players: they are often willing to pay 1k or more for one when they need to teleport. If players cannot buy them from the exchange, they will come and buy it from us.
-Not too many people will be able to craft more, because it's members only and you need at least level 54 in crafting.
-Most importantly, the limit on how many law runes one person can buy from the exchange every few hours is very high--something like 25k. Compare that to most other items at just 100.
I think there are a number of benefits to this plan, such as the possibility for great financial success and fame. Even if we do fail to buy up all of the law runes on the grand exchange, we can always just sell them back at no loss. It is even possible that we could make money even though we failed if the law runes go up in price. Looking at the history for the prices of law runes, it seems there is an upward trend now.

You could see this as strike back against Jagex for their updates, or as an interesting experiment, but regardless, it's a lot of fun to unite under a common cause and mess with the economy of Runescape.
If you managed to get through all that, please give me your thoughts, criticisms, suggestions, etc.
