I've heard reports of people losing 20.5M and one guy lost 2M in junk in his inventory. So I wouldn't doubt its fake. For the love of god, don't do the tutorial!!!!!! :P

Ignore the campers, the strategy is stupid anyway. What you have to do is be aggressive and be the first to attack. You always catch the campers off guard, who think that everyone in the game will camp as well. You go in and do a lot of damage, and die really fast. Even though you lose, you still get great reward credits (because you killed a lot of squads) and get 1 rank up, and all that happens in 5 minutes. Compare that to camping, which drags on games for over 10 minutes, meaning even if you win you would get less rank ups per hour and less reward credits per hour. I've been using the aggression strategy and its worked fine. The balancing in this game is actually perfect. You just have to think outside of the box from the majority (campers). PS: The deathdot strategy is extremely dumb too, don't know why people do it. All you have to do is spam chin them and they're half dead in a few seconds.

From what I've noticed most people have gotten used to the trade limit. The only people who seem to still dislike it are either die-hard oldies or players who have quit for a while and just come back. I'm sure its a slap in the face for you. So just a warning, the general mood toward the trade limit is it was necessary.

Inflation is a serious problem and I don't know how people can just go about ignoring it like it isn't. Every day, prices are rising out of control and cashpiles are becoming worth less and less. I really hope they fix this.

Problems with inflation: 1) Value of cash pile goes down. Ex. Before inflation you could buy 270 yews with 100,000gp, now you can only buy 200 yews. Every day your cash pile is going down in value so long as inflation continues. 2) Unstable economy. A massive change in prices makes the economy very unpredictable. Items may undergo massive price waves. 3) Speculation. Merchant clans take advantage of rising prices and merchant even more items more aggressively (thanks to unstable economy). Merched items are an inconvinience to everyone except the clan leaders.

Dragon Crossbow would make range so overpowered. \ The dragon limbs will be dropped by dragon dragons!!

Okay, I tested the non-prayer melee method. I bought full torags and a DFS. The method is less profitable than the prayer method, EVEN if you are 99 defense. I even asked several friends and asked around in forsakenmage for people's opinions. The majority of them have said the prayer method is much better. Using the non-prayer method does not help you kill the dragons faster than the prayer method, yet it is less profitable. I won't be including it in the guide for this reason. If someone can prove me wrong I'd happily add it in though. Evilfish1 - I'll add a note about the black mask. squareroot2 - Godswording them is very expensive. Although its a creative method, I'm not going to include it in the guide. I think people are more interested in profit when going to iron dragons on a non-slayer mission. mrpadre - That is interesting I've never heard of that. I'll have to investigate. Sman25000 - They are weak to stab, but not that much. I suspected that a stab weapon would be better against them, and tested it vs. whip in terms of kills per hour. The whip is still better, its just a much better weapon than the spear. Wachtwoord - Normally I would emphasize offensive power more, yes, but with the HUGE cost of prayer potions nowadays prayer bonus is more valuable now. Thanks for the transparent banner. I'll use it. =) adam12055 - I'll include the picture in the guide. =)

If you aren't playing WaW on veteran, you're not playing it at all! :D

I don't know if this has been mentioned but I remember learning that the US alone has enough firepower to wipe out all of Russia's major cities, and even then they would only use a very small fraction of their firepower. Of course, we aren't hostile with Russia anymore, but that was just a comparision to that country. During the Cold War there was also a fleet of superbombers that operated 24/7 and were ready at any time to retaliate in the event of a nuclear war. Even if the whole country got destroyed, they could still fly to Russia and nuke the heck out of it. The US also had several emergency landing strips all over the country and spread out their nuclear silos. I think Russia had more nukes but the US had a bigger fleet of superbombers. Anyway, I don't want to get too carried away with that. Just trying to make a point- if that dictator declares war he obviously has a death wish not just for him but his whole country. We could level his entire country and not even use one one hundredth of our firepower. Russia got our back too, we're friends now.

Micheal Jackson dead at 50. Billy Mays dead at 50. Boy if I were a celebrity and around age 50 right now I'd be pretty scared.

All the newstories I've seen seem to be vague about how exactly he died. They just mention an emergency plane landing earlier and that there was no forced entry into his house.

I'm pretty sure this is true, there are dozens of other newsites with the same story on it. (But you're right if it was just Fox I wouldn't trust it!) This is pretty horrible. Oddly I just read an article about Billy Mays on a plane (one of those cheap plane magazines) about 20 hours ago while returning home from my vacation, which basically went over his entire life in a nutshell. It made me really respect him reading the article. It's pretty creepy considering I was on a plane reading that article and that Billy May's death was most likely caused a plane. :? Almost like a connection... gives me a chilling feeling. Oh and I'm pretty sure it was Vince, the Shamwow guy that was piloting that plane Billy was on. :P

Alright I just got back from vacation and will be updating this soon hopefully.

Thank you guys. \ I was getting really nervous as I though jagex had put some limit on the number of d legs you can get, but I guess I was proved wrong.

It also might have to do with the wave of schoolchildren renewing their membership for the summertime. A rush of new members means a rush of new demand for some fancy members items (and fancy members leveling up I suppose).

I'm sorry about all the... uncompleted things guys. :P I'm only 900k short of 100M and 2 levels short of the big 2000. I'm sorry for the cringing. :( PS: This is my last post, I'm leaving in 20 minutes.

Bump

Hello all, I'll be going on vacation tomorrow so I thought I might as well post my bank picture and all that, seeing as I always sell my bank right before I leave on a long holiday (due to degrading prices of high leveled equipment). So here it is! Combat 125 Bank value: 102,533,664

Wow this topic is just as explosive as the RSOF one. I guess this arguement was inevitable. All it took was one little dump to spark a fericious clash of manipulators vs. jagex.

According to some forum mods, Mod Mat K changed the thread title from "to mod mat" to "merchanting clans revolt," Seems a little immature for a j mod.

I'll be updating the melee guide soon with this non-prayer method.

Let's just say the herb/potion market is really messed up right now. :|

Dang indeed.
