Why is it that (seemingly) all higher level players....

[Dark_Yeng]

Too lazy, too many click, need to multi-task, less time wasted. Rich players with over 100M+ so, it's not needed.

I will pick up gp piles that other people leave.

 

I'm also fond of those people that leave steel battleaxes and such on the floor. It gives me free magic experience.

 

I don't care about efficiency. I'm playing a game.

 

This ^

 

If i was ever in a time crunch on Rs , i'd logg off then and there.

I will pick them up if they are large enough. I don't hit all the little < 100 drops, but if it's a sizable pile, I'll scoop it up. They stack, and I usually have coins from high alching anyways.

 

FWIW, I pick up pennies in real life also.

 

Aside: this would be a nice addition for Dung 2.0 - a coin magnet or piggy bank that would automagically pick up coin drops. Sort of like the bonecrusher, but for coins.

[CaJ]

I've been fighting zombies these past couple months and I usually get 10-12k in coins per trip. Not bad at all.

 

You should look up the monster database to make sure how many coins the monsters drop. If I was killing Tormented Demons I would pick up the coins, if I was killing Bloodvelds, I would leave the coins on the floor.

Obviously, the people that don't pick up coin drops believe die-hard that other potential drops from the monster will make them enough profit to call it a success. Although coin drops certainly add up during a long task, it is commonly thought that it is more worthwhile picking up a single rune dagger instead of multiple drops of coins of the same value. Even when you'll eventually alch the dagger anyway.

 

I only leave coins behind when my inventory is truly full or when I have near zero attention span due to being not very sober or just tired from a busy day. I sometimes pick up other peoples abandoned coin piles too, much to their amazement. Their loss! :wink:

After using MTK with Royal Trouble, I no longer bother picking up those coins, because frankly they don't even add up in comparison. If it was piles of over 1K I would consider it, but anything less and it's a waste of time. It helps that piles over 1K look different on the ground compared to piles less than that.

[firebird308]

I pick up my coin drops. Along with other people's. It adds up after awhile and I always have at least a few coins on me. :grin: Sure I get stuff from MTK and other things that other people sell for huge profits but I tend to use/keep most of what I get. (I'm one of the people that money just... happens to. Granted, it takes forever for me to get any as a result...)

[michel555555]

If theres a coin drop and an item drop that i want i'll pick up both since i'm there anyway. i usually just leave coin only drops though.

[Dexek]

I pick up coins without losing any time at all. Although I can't say I do this for gargoyles with the advent of the "auto-crush" or whatever it's called, alongside their aggressiveness I have no need to do more than check the previous monsters drop while killing the next one. It would be different if I had to click to attack the next one anyways.

[stonewall337]

Because I make 3m gp/hr boss hunting, or 600k gp/hr and a fair bit of slayer xp slaying. If I pick up GP I get like 40k gp/hr, and lose out on A LOT of xp. I don't even pick up any charms but blue anymore.

[Gailnico321]

It's just not worth the extra time and effort, basically.

This. Even if it does happen to get to 10k in a task, which is unlikely, it's easy for many higher leveled players to simply go catch implings for five minutes, kill a few green dragons, etc; it just isn't worth the time with all of the other ways to make money.

[Squisher_33]

ive been doing this since lvl 3
