Sorry!?!! ...i am offended by those statements...oh my god!!! sadly you think that way. Put here is my to find good arguments... Smithing (unless i am utterly stupid and completely blind) is a skill. (runescape site has it on the manual, search skills) I am not going to be a jerky snotty noob/geek (rofl picture that in you're head it's funny) so i will interpret what you said... Lobsters (max 250 ea - i have seen players buy them in these prices) Fish 1k lobsters sell 250k - money, repeat 4 times 1 mil. (i didn't said it was easy) 1k Coal sell 200k (some have said - never tried) - repeat 5 times 1 mil. of course merchanting always plays a role....although not merchanting as a skill but a mere part of it, like (know the price, sell for more). Merchanting is skill you say? MOST OF THEM ARE JUST TYPING "SELL COAL 200 EA" BECAUSE THEY SAW THAT COAL COULD SELL FOR THAT PRICE IT REQUIRES NO SKILL WHATSOEVER ONLY EYES AND KNOWING HOW TO READ ENGLISH! Define good buyer? buyer is a person who buys stuff....good buyer is a person who buys better? in what way? giving more money to you? that is a richer person not good buyer. Ok i find this insuficient and a display of my poor writing skills, put i tried, and hopefully i shed a light in your head that says "maybe i am missing all points of view?" :ohnoes: don't tell me i am a noob like so many :ohnoes:
