i read on the runescape forums about how jagex explained the ring of wealth. look at it like 2 roulette wheels. the first wheel would have your normal stuff like coins and air runes and there is one rare spot. if the wheel lands on the rare spot, it will spin the second "rare" wheel and this is where the ring is supposed to help. :shrugs: i dunno i wear it around anyways, even if it is false hope :D and i must have been down looking for obby stuff one night for 4 hours, and i got about 1500 tokul, lol but my friend walked outta there with a cape and a shield within about 2 hours, and i stayed longer upset at how crappy my luck is, to eventually leave defeated. im gonna go give it another go in a bit here i think

If i decide to craft through the abyss I just dont bring my pouches, it takes WAY to long to sit there and get them back, and there is AWLAYS someone standing there waiting to attack someone running into the abyss. I think its stupid to pk ppl here, because your really just wasting runes and or your time, just to piss someone off and then have them sit in the abyss for 2 hours getting their pouches back. while they are doing that im crafting 2k more nats, i do know a way to make nats that is just as fast as the abyss and you dont have to go there :)

i dont think they need anymore skill either, but having player shops would certainly be less of a headache than trying to read what in the world is going on in world 2. I know the forums are a much better way to go, but if there was a way player to have their own shops they could set prices for things and leave them there this would nice. but its wishfull thinkin, where in the world would they put this place. it would probably take up a space bigger than the map is now :shrugs:

that would be a good idea, hopefully when someones trading with you they try several times.. I just try to catch their name and right click them for a trade, and the window will open.. instead of having to scroll up to click on it..

im constantly searching for the best ways to make money, i try to break it down to how much money can i make for every hour that I do this certain thing for. so far my best money maker is nature runes. I can make laws, but ppl have much more need for 1k nats than 1k laws, and you can sell em both for 300 ea :) I can make 1k nats in an hour , if I have alot of energy pots, so its like 300k an hour give or take. but i tend to hold on to the nats and high alch my yew longs, which takes longer, but im working my way to cutting magics and feltching them, plus the magic xp from high alchin is nice.

i got alot to add to your list, and some are pretty devious. first off If i cut gems for people for xp I would always have a bunch of my own cut gems and trade them a cut one for the uncuts, this way there is no way for anyone to get scammed. now, I've played alot of mmorpg's and none of them are completly overrun by scammers as much as RS, not even close. anarchy online is a great mmorpg, and they have live customer service that can teleport to your location and help you with any problem in the game including scammers, and this may make people think twice of doing it, or maybe its just an adult oriented game and people are there for fun, not to ruin others. I myself got scammed not even a week ago and I played the game about a year, started playing anarchy for about 8 months and i came back to RS recently. This was a new scam had not heard of and I think alot of people could fall for it, if your not careful. I was standing around in edge, a level 100 something, (his name is Agent xxl and I hope he gets banned). starting telling me that his friend bet him 3mil that he couldnt kill someone with a whip so he said he would give me half of it, If I let him kill me while he took some screens for proof. now i figured, I have one item, my whip .. if he tried gettin me to attack him, Ill just leave. so if I have no skull and he kills me the worst that could happen is he wont give me the money and ill move on with my day. so I go out there, he starts killing me, when i have one blow left he says here take this noob crap so it will look real when you die. and he gives me 4 mystic tops, i wasnt even thinking about what was going on, and accepted, he killed me and i was sitting in lumby with 4 mystic tops (i had protect item) no whip, I wanted to quit playing. I bought that whip over a year ago when they cost 10mil. the whip sells 40k in a shop, mystic top 46k which I come to find after the fact, I figured the whip would have to been more valueable than mystic tops. so please save the flames of, your dumb for doing that ect.. I think it could happen to anyone, I'm the one out a whip so I think i've gotten enough flames from myself. people also try changing the money value on you at the last second of trade alot. just yesterday i was out selling stuff and it happened to me 4 diff times. and since I have always had a habit of studying the trade screens very carefully I noticed everytime. but if they put up 400k and quickly switch to 40k it can go by unoticed. in fact there are programs that will switch these values for you at the last second, which makes thing even worse. I cant belive someone would waste knowledge of programming to make something that helps people scam others in a internet game, :shrugs: but, when the attempt to this, theres no real way to report them for item scamming, unless they acually manage to get the scam to work on you, so i think its pretty rough as well. someone mentioned the alt f4 scam, but what ppl do is tell you if you drop your rune pl8 for example and hit f4 you can duplicate it, but alt f4 makes you log out with you rune pl8 laying on the ground. although chances are you can log back in before the item shows up on the ground, you might not make it. I to want to educate any out there of the scams that people do, the more aware people are and the less the scammers can scam, hopefully they may start to appear less. The people trying to make a seperate account at level 3 to scam will also get their high level account banned, jagex can tell that they have 2 accounts and if one goes they will get the higher level one as well. one final note, I cant belive that this player agent xxl, is willing to put his level 100+(rank- 30,901 total level- 1415 xp- 22,759,465) character on the line in order to make 3mil while lying and cheating his way to it. at that level he should have skills that he can alot more money with, and the time it takes to get to that level is ridiculous, unlesss you only train, and never raise any other skills. I cant belive at that level you would really need to try scamming people to get yourself ahead, you already are ahead.

I disagree with this rule, I also worry for myself, because i bring my computer over to my friends house alot, and we are always borrowing each other things and giving them back later. We are on a router, and I also play at work sometimes (shhhh) so im always loggin in at diff Ip's and i wonder sometimes if I'm going to get in some sort of trouble for this.
