what your saying is- hopefully some one will say this isn't profitable enough and then go mine a whole bunch of pure ess. and then he'll tell 3 people and those 3 people will tell 3 people and then...... look. that can happen with anything. from the price of coal to the price of a bar of rune. that hasn't happened yet and as far as i'm concerned this pure essence "situation" has been going on for quite a while. remember that tip.it times article about this? trust me when i say that your "solution" won't work and will not have a prayer. when there's people who will solve the problem there's people who contribute. if the price of essence starts to go down then i will just start buying instead of mining it. every one will do that. it's going to rollercoaster for a very long time untill something is done to fix these prices. i'm wondering whether or not the price of pure ess will catch up to nats or not. :-k It hasn't happened yet because making natures is still worth it. You still make money and get levels. It is actually impossible to compare to anything else ESPECIALLY something like coal because coal is not unlimited. Pure essence is never ending, there is not competition in getting it. Furthermore, rune mysteries is like the first quest you do after tutorial island and getting the required mining level (10 I think) for pure essence is a breeze. It is going to be a roller coaster but it is like putting a ball in a half pipe. For awhile the ball is going to be going up and down but every time it goes down, it goes up less. Eventually is will even out. I am strongly against this for two reasons. First one is it is just taking advantage of F2P players and using them for cheap resources. You may laugh but I am serious. Members don't want F2P to get anything unless it directly benefits them. Sad. The second reason is actually more legitimate. If you get rid of pure essence the prices will go down but they will still be VERY HIGH. I don't remember exactly where essence was before the change but it was 70+ (at least) I believe. That was with bots. Prices will probably stabilize at around 90 ea if they made this change. BUT WHAT ABOUT F2P RUNECRAFTERS!!!!! They will start losing gobs of money. F2P RC took a hit with unlimited runes in shop and the GE release. Why should we ruin F2P RC just because members no longer make 1m an hour with a lvl 44 skill??? Great post.... You're right any speak of f2p getting an update that doesn't benefit a member and most cry about how they pay 5 bucks a month, and f2p gets update. But on the otherhand if the update to f2p benefits them everyone is all for it. :? I kinda would like to see the update happen because I being an ex member have a full bank and no way to store normal ess but I have some pure ess making me able to store some ess and runecraft a bit. Which would be helpful since I only have 40 some odd rc'ing. :wall:

Which is impossible to do in f2p, so they have to go with the next best thing: rares. I don't know those rune warhammers are pretty hard to come by :lol:

Selling my yews tomorrow checked earlier today 417 per most I've ever seen them. Hope they dip back down so I'll make a profit. Planned on making some yew longs with them if I ever start my membership back up again, but this seems like to good of a opportunity to pass up. :thumbsup:

I never died but I had to tele out when fighting damis, didn't bring enough prayer pots didn't think the prayer drain would be that bad. The biggest problem for me was my lack of thieving and agility made the pyramid and lockpicking a pain in the butt.

I used to be a member, but am now a lowly f2p :cry: . Really the only effective way I've found to make money is cut yews or mine coal.
