Great guide! It helped me when I was bored with skilling :).

Good Idea :) For now, I use the ignore list as my ingame notepad.

I would first get to 99 Construction, or somewhere in the 90s so I can have a great house. Then, I would buy a godsword, armadyl or bandos, dragonfire shield, every barrows set, full dragon, and a whip (I do have some of these things already though :P ). I would then invest the remaining money evenly into skills and keep around 10m leftover for misc spending.

This was in the wilderness. There is some food and equipment from a person who died on the ground. Noob: Why did you drop a monkfish? Me: I didn't thats from another person who died. Noob: Why did you drop a dragonfire shield? Me: Its actually not a dragonfire shield, dragonfire shields are worth over 20m. Noob: 20m!!!! I'm rich!!! I am so much richer than you. Noob: Oh, and you're reported for lying to me about dropping the monkfish. Me: Yeah....

Interesting. There would probably be side effects as you already mentioned. Maybe resources obtained in F2P could be used in F2P only, but if you subscribe to members, they become usable? It would get complicated if people kept switching between P2P and F2P.

I would submit the following quotes that apply to this: "An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind." -Gandhi "Two wrongs do not make a right." I disagree that it is justifiable to say that you should scam other scammers. This will only increase the amount of scammers, and a "revenge scammer" (as you might call it) would eventually become so used to it that they would become a scammer themselves. You could argue that the scammer would then lose money and then everyone is even, but it is unlikely that it would end there. I've only been scammed once, and that is because people took advantage of my partial dyslexia. If I ever was scammed, I would report, and move on. I figure it's my fault for being stupid to fall for it.

I was buying dragon bones from someone in world 2. I traded him and put up 10k for 5 d bones. He put up big bones first and then quickly changed it to d bones. I was laughing... a lot. :lol: :lol: :boohoo: how I pity the scammers to come...

The herblore update is pretty annoying, now that it takes away the thrill of what kind of herb I get from a monster (if I can't identify it). It also did ruin the merchanting of herbs, although I never took part in this.

Don't worry :) You didn't scam; this other player was being stupid

Good Idea! I've seen many threads like these on the actual RuneScape forums, but, obviously, these have not had the images as you have in your post. I like the pictures, and they seem very accurate as to what the trade chat would be like.

I personally have never experienced this, but I can see it happen either just to annoy you :( or train for champion scrolls (while not caring about your efforts to kill macroers). Anyway, once you kill the macroers they will only resume exactly the same thing in a few minutes. :wall: Grr, I don't like cheaters :wall:
