Are you? *Note actual correct spelling of the words 'are' and 'you'. I used to do that. Go out to lumbridge and give out sets of full iron etc, but you know what i got for it? About two people saying thank-you and the whole server PMing me for 'Phr33 st00f'. Giving newbs free stuff helps them not at all. I am all for giving them advice, showing them places, and teaching them the ropes. But handing out free iron and bronze teaches them no appreciation for the merits of hard work and toil, just think, you may have just helped create the next generation of macro'ers and scammers. I have a RL friend who just started playing RS, i helped him out a bit and gave him some starting armour, weapons and training food. Next thing i knew he'd died and wanted more stuff. I smithed him about 4 more sets of full iron before i gave up, and told him to work for his armour. He quit RS shortly after. I say we let the newbies earn their own way, it helps them get to know the game quicker by themselves and perhaps weeds out some of the undisirables without the patience to play a long term game who would only be a leech {sp!?} on the game itself. -Gid. very good post i do show some where to go ( or at least tell them). Giving a lvl 3 a 2h steel or a lvl4 a free cross bow and 50 bolts is only going to help them and give them a favorable outlook on the game. Face it, the more that stick around is better for all. You talk like im giving a lvl 3 rune stuff. I am a newb myself...just got my full addy and rune scim, and still have 120k to show for it (i know..lame to those who have played forever), so it makes me and those "noobs" feel good about the game we r playing.

u speak in absolutes...r u 16? many can make thier fortune here and still donate 5% of it to make a group of players feel more welcome and appreciated. without the newbs all you scammers would be out of business...you should appreciate them rather than condem them.

lol crumby armor to me, is a nice gift to someone new. Yes, it does make me a better person than those that try to scam on the newbs.....pretty simple. Yes it DOES change runescape when one's first experience is someone giving them something rather than cheating them.....r u daft?

As of now, there is one thing that will make me quit this game. It is the lack of any sort of......consideration by most that play. im a newb of 1.5 mos, and have progressed fairly fast. I am tired of all the negative ppl (I visit rant forum here and there), so i decided to spend a couple hours just giving crap away. I bought about 15k of newbie stuff..weapons/armor/shields and just approached newbs (not noobs!) in lumb and gave it to them for nothing in return, and of course I got favorable results. I encourage all who have the means to make this world a little more even. There r many more here willing to swear at you rather than help you (sad). We have along way to go considering the constant barrage of scammers and liers the newbs (not noobs) will encounter, but a little goes along way. peace!

i just sold my rune pick (thinking it was my addy)...just lost 30k. to a newb of 5 weeks who had at most 120k...this was SOOOOOO STUPID! come on...you all have done something stupid.....fess-up!

HOOWAAA! for the OTAs! We r the ones who dreamed what was possible in gaming long ago...now we have it, and so do our kids..lol!

im a newb (one month....exactly).....i played star wars galaxies for awhile (until last change)...and am impressed with the depth and variety offered here (both for free and pay((5$/month is barely pay))). Goes to show its not all about graphics, which is what many tell you to believe. Fun little game. Even at 5$/month me thinks jagex(or what ever) is doing well!
