I just do everything to stay concentrated. I always put public chat on hide, try not to look at how many nats I've crafted already. I usually don't have a lot of trouble with rc pkers, because I'm just 83 combat, so I'm out of attacking range for most of them. I sometimes listen to music, and usually take a small break every 2 or 3k nats. It's just half as boring for me, since I've got 91 runecrafting :)

I went on my f2p pure ranger to do the easter event. So I passed the yew tree at the south entrance of Falador. There were about 7 autoers at just one yew tree! I stayed there to report a few of them, then the 'Ent' random happened to the tree, and all of the autoers, except for one immidiately stopped chopping. What I thought to be the only weapon against autoers failed. Jagex should really do something about it soon, like an autoer detection system or something, that recognises certain patterns, which I'm sure the autoers have, since they're programmed.

I think some of the updates aren't there for much of a use, which is bad, because it makes the basic outlines of runescape rather vague. If I would be a new player, I'd be really confused by all of this. It used to be easy when I started playing. Bronze armor and weapons are the weakest, then followed by iron, steel, black, mithril, addy, rune, and the almighty dragon armor. Now we've got barrows armors, 3rd age, fighter torso, neitiznot helm, abyssal whip, the anchor, obby cape/shield, fury amulet, etc, etc. Another thing that really does concern me, is that the the runescape world is getting to be to full with a new quest NPC here, quest related building there, new minigame there. Most of them in existing areas. Basically, the world map is being packed with new, and sometimes not necessary updates. (lumbridge is the most extreme example.) Updates I'd like to see: new interesting and usefull areas and cities. So in my opinion, Jagex could cut down on creating updates for a bit, or take more time to work out their ideas,

I've spent about 300-350k and I'm lvl 40 now.

As I have said to you before Net, nice theory. Yes, now I have a closer look at it, it is true that there already are loads of auto flax-pickers, so they will most likely apply this to the pure ess on p2p as well.
