Think about it, while f2p cannot directly use members features, they can, indrectly, get some of the benefits through member friends.

 

 

 

1. bank space - many members are willing to hold items for f2p friends

 

2. runes easier to obtain - some members are willing to craft rare runes for f2p friends

 

3. strength potions easier to obtain - some members only want exp and are more than happy to trade them for limpwurt

 

4. treasure trail items - some sellers use a "friend discount" system and are more willing to sell for cheaper to f2p friends

 

5. cake easier to obtain - some members have been known to thieve cakes for f2p friends, free of charge

 

6. gems easier to obtain - some people don't care much about them, and are willing to sell them to f2p friends for cheap

 

7. forum advantage - while users are no longer allowed to post for other users, members can act as agents for their f2p friends. In other words, they sell the items and give the money to their f2p friends.

 

 

 

What do you think?

More Bank space? People are usually maxed out as is in both f2p and p2p. Runes are easier to obtain in p2p but that is ok. When I was f2p, no one helped me. You got to be able to fend for yourself in f2p. That is what I was taught. Also I would personally sell my treasure trail items at full price instead of "cheaper" discounts to friends.

tru

 

 

 

i use member friends to post on the runescape topics

 

and it works good

 

 

 

 

 

but u forgot the negative things

 

 

 

 

 

the updates affect the rare prices, and rares are also f2p

 

todays update will let the rares come down hard

 

masks already went down for 1m

I have a few member friends, and some of them have made offers along these lines. (For example, someone offered to make me arrows in exchange for bars.)

 

 

 

To ask a member friend to do these things almost sounds like you're using them, though, so the best advice I could give is be careful how you ask and don't try to take advantage of nice people.

they want to work so you can save a few gp? no, i dont know anyone that does free stuff for p2p friends letalone f2p people..

I sometimes make my friends around 3 - 5k steel arrows if they really need it.

 

 

 

Strength potions aren't that hard to obtain in F2P.

Im F2P and i have a good friend (he is the 5th friend i made in runescape) and hes member. Im currently cutting 7k logs and mining 14k iron (to make 7k iron bars :? ) and collecting 105k feathers to let my friend make me 105k iron arrows. per 15k iron arrows im gonna give him 100k or 2 k iron arrows. sounds fair enough does it

 

 

 

he always sais: i do anything for expierence

 

 

 

Having friends in this game is a smart thing to do

yes without a doubt yes. I have two member friends both of whom i know in real life and have helped me innumerably over the years. When i was a lil lvl 3 they kept me safe from scams and lures, in my growing stage they helped me make cash (never gave me cash only helped) and in my quests have always been there with hint and even combat help on occasions (the lessers in melzar's maze learned the wrath of a full runed member at least until just over half health :)).

 

 

 

By the way i have never scammed, macroed, or even sworn on runescape, and i attribute this to my mentors so if they read this thank you.

 

 

 

Maybe a mentor for newbies should be created :P
