1st it would be members only and members hate to mine for the most part to my knowledge. 2nd ore respawn would put a pretty unmoveable cap on the ore pre hour.
One time my sister called me up, and I left the room to talk to her. However I apperentlyforgot to log out, and forgot the hobgoblins would remain agreesive at my level for another 10 minutes. Few mintues later I come back with 12 hits, and my full rune on, which was just about all I had at the time.
just adding my two cents really quick. You said you traded before. Even if you trade once in your life or sell an item to a shop or buy an item from a shop (also a very important part of the Runescape economy), then the economy has affected you. The economy sets those prices that you sold at and made your cash off of. I would also agree that everyone would say something else is more important in Runescape. I would say the people that play it and the staff that maintain it are the most important aspect. It all depends on your perspective. What is important is simply a matter of opinion. Good work guys lets keep cranking these out!
If you want pure exp and don't care about making money: willows If you want somewhat slower exp and want to make a bit of profit: maples If you don't give a care about exp then at 65 woodcuting plus:yews
cheapest way to go is buy a ton of body runes and earth. Grab a water staff. Wear any full malee set and head to a place where monsters can't attack you. Chasam mine, Varrock sewers across from zombies...
90%+ of all autoing programs already have the ablity to use pins... Good idea though because it would force people to use pins. Normaly I am against forcing people to do anything, but sometimes you have to do it for their own good.
I had just spent a month making steel bars, and merchanted for a week. All of that went toward my full guthix which I still have. My stats... lower then what I have now? lol
