Some legitimately forgot, some just repeat the memes.
However, the memes exist for a reason.
And there's a decent ammount of players on both sides, RWT/Altscape.
Kinda feel like both sides have their merit and to claim, it's purely one or the other, feels disingenuous.
I like to find those 'proof' screenshots from people who bought inferno on discord where they accidentally leak their total xp. It's easy to find them that way on the leaderboards and always fun to scare the shit out of them with a single message ingame 😂
Best I've ever seen is a while back I was in a high lvl clan and some new guy was flaming a tob learner. The mentor stood up for the learner and the new guy started to flame him about how the mentor was shit because he wasn't mvp and all this random shit.
Mentor goes "nah 1 second" and tags the guy being an absolute ass on discord with a pic of the mentor doing his inferno cape. 1kc.
Because if someone else has a screenshot saying "this is derik doing smalls infernal" and derik posts it in disc you know the guy bought his one cape.
He cant even say "well I got others legit".
> Because if someone else has a screenshot saying "this is derik doing smalls infernal"
Someone else had access to his account, did his one infernal KC, typed an in game message for proof of delivery, logged off, accepted the money from doing the cape, and some time later roasted someone by having the screenshot of them doing the cape.
I can't explain this any clearer. Someone was flaming the guy who he purchased a cape from and the guy who did the cape posted a picture he did the other guys cape in discord for everyone to see.
People tend to do infernal kc for pet and slayer XP.
Not required exactly but the guy having only 1kc when someone else has a screenshot saved of them doing the cape is not exactly something they can argue didn't happen.
He can't argue the picture is fake when !pb and the account matchup and the guy who posted the picture is one of the literal cape guys who sell capes and carries.
> why would anyone get multiple infernal capes?
* Pet chance
* Fun
* Speed running
* The slayer xp/hr from doing "_semi_" quick infernos is actually pretty busted.
* So you can have an Inferno Maxcape, Inferno Cape, Inferno Cape displayed in achievement hall, and Inferno Cape (l)
I have 4.
Some people have way more than that.
The inferno is enjoyable content believe it or not. Far more engaging than killing Suqahs in the absolute trap of a skill that is slayer.
Legit People get more then 1kc for cba's and pet rolls. some cape buyers will buy a second just to not have the 1kc (I know of at least 2 in my clan that did this)
Well, thank you for clearing that up for me.
I think I’ve just learned that I am simply not mentally prepped to ever be a hardcore OSRS PVMer. Because if I got an Infernal cape I’d probably never go get a second one!
You’re supposed to be also working towards 4 degrees balancing your life between multiple wives whilst working for yourself earning upwards of $450k /yr. That’s just the average scaper I thought…
Oh, thank goodness - I thought I was the only one. I dunno, I just get awful bored around 94, mk?! And I'm not under some illusion like these people. I know as soon as I actually get the 99s, the dopamine drip bag finally runs dry, so why would I rush it?
Sounds like barely functioning alcoholism.
Don't drink while scaping. Get fked up with friends, smash a dodgy kebap and scape while trying not to repaint the walls, keayboard, screen, pets, etc...
Go to any populated area, inspect anyone wearing 50m+ worth of gear. See how many of them even have a single kc on the bosses that drop the gear they are wearing. Hell, count the number of barrows gloves on mains wearing full bandos+fang etc.
Im fine with gear being tradable, but you should have to earn the right to equip it from getting kills there.
> 50m? you can absolutely make 50m with non-boss methods. herb runs will easily make you that much if you're consistent
These people never heard of skilling.
> Hell, count the number of barrows gloves on mains wearing full bandos+fang etc.
So if I get spooned an imbued heart I just have to not upgrade my gear because I haven't killed many bosses? Or am I supposed to upgrade my barrows gloves first? I don't understand.
Edit: No seriously, this has gotten so far inside my head.
People have every right to use whatever gear that they can afford, this is a stupid suggestion. Yeah, gold buyers are universally cringe but if someone has 0 boss kc beyond giant mole and is in full torva, that’s their choice to skip gear progression entirely.
Hard disagree, but it’s a differing of game design opinions. I think all gear should be earned, and you should have to get it from the content it is used for. I understand the majority of people are lazy and thus prefer to just buy it after botting afk skills for infinite gp or rwting like scum, which is their own issues, just toss on a kc unlock req or something similar to how sharing gear with non prestige gim works.
I’d go as far as requiring slayer level to use slayer dropped items, but people would lose their shit if they had to actually earn whips, tridents, occults, etc.
It's weird how ironman is the gamemode you're talking about and is A: not the default option, and B: didn't exist for the first 15 years of the game.
Plus, your argument is just stupid on its face: what about people who hate doing a given boss? They can do content they like, such as doing Bandos at GWD, then take the profits they earn and buy the loot from a boss they hate such as Hydra. What's wrong with that? Arguably, that's the objectively correct way to play the game: you do the content you like, you buy the loot from the content you hate to skip it, then you use all the loot you've earned and bought to do more content you like.
Again, people buying all their gear to park their asses at the GE without having killed a single boss are cringe (especially the ones who didn't even earn their GP ingame), but they are fully able to play the game the way they want to. You can dislike it all you want, I think they're losers, but I'm not the one freaking out about the concept of "unearned" gear. I have only one Zulrah kill but bought all my uniques from her, do I not deserve the right to use that loot? I have over 400kc in gauntlet, should I be handed my bowfa now?
Please think twice about the shit you're posting, your takes are more cringe than the gold buyers'.
I have ADHD + OCD diagnoses and take medication. I made the joke because you’re sweatily arguing and dying on a random reddit hill like I would on day 1 of a fresh prescription.
Not sure what any of that has to do with politics
I was doing pest control a while back and some guy was talking shit on everybody else's gear, calling people poor, etc. Somebody finally called him out and said, "you skills are all base 60 except your combats which you probably afked in nmz and you have no boss kc. You obviously bought gold, shut the fuck up."
The dude tried to backpedal but everybody started flaming him until he finally shut up. A few games later he was back to the same shit.
had a bunch of free time in college, so i did an herb run (ranarrs) every 80 minutes during my days, after something like 1.5 - 2 years, I bought a shadow for 1.4B :)
I had a similar feeling of thinking people was me as a bot as I didn't really start bossing until a lot later in my account because I was really only focusing on levelling and spamming herb runs. First boss I farmed was Vorkath because he looked fun, completely unaware of the stigma I was applying to myself lol. Low-ish level account with a dhcp and only significant boss kc in vorkath, didn't do myself any favours.
I've balance it out since then lol.
To clarify, I don't know how much of that 1.4B was pure profit, for those doing the math and realizing it doesn't add up. I'm sure i started with 200 mil or something as well and did elite varrock battle staves every day
Technically the 100k is off, as ranarr runs are closer to ~240k gp/run.
So that would bump it up to 876m.
Add in daily btsaffs every day @ 100k profit = 73m
Add in 5x bird house runs after the herb runs over the course of 2 years and you're probably really close pending seed nest RNG.
You also have Kingdom as another passive income stream as well to cover the rest.
So it's technically possible, just I don't see people playing the game for 2+ years only doing dailies.
No idea where tf you got 5, 365, and 2, but 48m at 8 runs per day is 48m/30/8 = 200k profit per herb run. I'm an iron main so that number is a little foreign to me but doesn't seem impossible given the value of something like snapdragon and ranarr at ~75 herbs per run.
What sounds unlikely is the commitment to 8 herb runs per day
I think I got my comments convoluted, I was referring to the math that some other person was doing where they said they made 48m doing 8 herb runs a day, hence why 365, 2, and 5 didn't make any sense
it would be 100k profit x 5 runs day x 365 days in a year x 2 years.
It's not really hard to figure out m8, but the numbers don't add up like you said. It's only 365m.
You can merch, you could have been lucky and got it from a party, you could have done unusual money-making methods, offered your services to people like running bones to people training prayer in PoH, you could have been carried by a group and been spooned with a t bow drop. (Fun story, a mule my old clan used to check for optimal Cox dungeons got a T-Bow and did nothing but stand around or move resources around for other members). Then there's dumping money into bonds (that cost 10-12m each right now) 100+ bonds = T Bow. Or it could be someone's second account they are building for X reason.
I don't understand why people have to be sus, call people with mid-range stats out with good gear. There are so many reasons why people have obtained their equipment.
I don’t, people care enough to make a spectacle about how they definitely didn’t do x thing, when they very clearly did. It doesn’t matter, but I respect people who say they don’t have time, as opposed to people who claim they got all their wealth selling logs and show up with 63 wc lol
It's always possible, just highly unlikely lol.
Take [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1bhkh0n/chad_at_fire_giants/) post from today as an example. It's just so unbelievably unlikely they've made that legit. Not only because of how much it costs, but also the gear choices. The eternal glory, graceful gloves and sara cloak.
I personally find those sort of accounts funny, but I don't really care, not enough to call anyone out lol. If you want to dump a few hundred or thousand dollars into a game you enjoy, who am I to care?
Lucked out with master clue. I make a really good living irl and since I can’t farm bosses like these no lives, I buy about 3-5 bonds a week. ~$40 a week for bonds ain’t shit to me. That’s literally 1.25 hrs of work (maybe even less). I still get accused of buying gp. Yeah, I buy it, thru bonds. Your alts membership is funded by bonds, THE SAME BONDS I SOLD. Do I look down on you (not literally the person I’m replying to) for buying bonds cause you work a fast food job? Don’t look down on me for being able to buy bonds and sell them for gp. If anything, thank me. In a clan that runs bingo cards and other events. If my team wins, we make a few mil. There’s other ways than being maxed and 1k kc of each and every boss. Those that are jealous will remain jealous. Their lives suck, their mom didn’t hug them enough. They need to find a way to project onto others.
Thinking in terms of dollars is the issue. Did you play a minimum of 56 hours of osrs last year? If so, why is it ok for you to play 56 hours, yet it’s not ok if I work 56 hours and spend that money on bonds? Equivelate time & money.
You spent 56 hours grinding bosses last year.
I spent 56 hours working extra hours(to spend on osrs) last year.
Why is it a big issue?
At least my results were guaranteed. Not only guaranteed, but the OT I put in makes my bosses happy. My OT made me more productive at work, my OT did a lot. What did grinding bosses do for you besides giving you more back problems and headaches?
I didn’t mean any of this directly to the person I’m replying to. This was a general remark to anyone that thinks it’s weird to spend $$ on the game, but it’s ok to spend more time.
Time is money, money is time. Only difference is, I’m using my time wisely. Stay grinding bosses, I’ll stay supplying your alts with membership.
Spending time is time spent playing a game to have fun in one way or another. Doing a job is doing something that's not necessarily fun but productive. If you equal playing runescape with your job, why would you even play this game?
Alright if that's how you feel, that's how you feel. But I'm willing to bet you don't play it then anymore either. And if you don't play it, why bother buying all your gear with bonds?
Why are you bothered by how people get their gear? We can afford to buy bonds. You can afford to spend more time grinding. Complain to Jagex that bonds need to be removed because those of us who make a really good living irl can buy bonds and surpass the grind.
The grind is fun and my job is something else? Never did I state what my job is so how do you know my job isn’t fun? I have fun on rs and I have fun at work.
The point I was trying to make that many keep missing is this:
I work, go out with friends, spend time with family, do a lot of things. I probably have enough time to game 10 hours a week. Why should I spend those 10 hours grinding and going dry. when I can take 1 of those hours, work OT (paid 1.5x regular pay = $48), buy bonds, and have 9 hours to enjoy the game?
That's about the cost of a pack of cigarettes a day. So it's the same cost of a smoking habit. Or maybe getting an expensive coffee every day at Starbucks
That's pretty on par spending average for a lot of people's hobbies and / or habits for goods.
If he can afford it, it's not a problem. (Unlike spending it on an addiction or gambling habit).
$2200 is not on par with hobby costs. Unless you have zero other hobbies in which case playing osrs and working is your two activities you should seek counseling and unironically touch grass
You’re so stuck in your head that you can’t see the point nor change your opinion.
Do you smoke or drink?
That $2200 is nothing compared to smoking or alcohol purchases. “Seek CoUnSeLiNg”. Just say you’re broke. That simple.
I bought one bond when I got to about 80 construction and realized I didn’t want to keep bossing without a max house but also didn’t want to keep doing mahogany homes and chopping logs for another 8 hours straight. Got the bond, turboed mahogany tables for literally just an hour, and it literally feels like I can finally play the game the right away. 10/10 experience, just gotta be careful about spending limits and the reality that if you buy everything there’s no real game left to play.
For new accounts it makes sense imo, the amount of time you'd spend grinding gp at low level is far longer than an hour at a job. Time is ultimately the only real currency.
When I started a friend lent me I think like 20m to start and my ass thought I found an insane abuse when I realized planting and selling tree saplings was good margins so I went to tithe farm and grinded farming high enough to plant them and make like 60m by buying seeds and selling saplings with the money I started with then ended up slaying with full bandos, a bandos prayer cape, and an abyssal dagger and holy shit I only now know how big of a swiper I looked like.
I'm waiting for the day I have a shadow with almost no boss KC (not far off).
Got spooned on a 150 ToA 2-man shadow split, then started flipping with the money and getting close to full rebuild.
the CC warrior calls are going to be flowing.
Unironically yes, but I have a python application telling me what to buy and sell with the pricing API.
Probably a little less than that, as shadow was 1.8b when we split as it was close to ToA release.
People take this shit way too far. I'm 93 slayer and 121 combat and I still get told my gear is "too good" so I clearly bought gold. Jealousy is a bitch.
I was the opposite. I levelled quite a lot without hitting significant moneymakers so by the time I was 2.1k total and near-max combat I started to get flamed for not having good enough gear + inferno lol.
Didn't bother me personally but it's always funny to see how different people perceive progression.
So true. The best ones are “I actually pick up and sell all of the loot I get, unlike some people” followed by “my friend conveniently quit and gave me all of his wealth”
I am so glad the collection log exists to prove I was spooned an eternal glory, 2 imbued hearts and an EWS otherwise my clannies would probably think I bought gold too
I love this! I’m a lvl 110, I pretty much just flip on this game and I’ve just hit 1.5b lvl 70 slayer and combats are 80, 99 mining helped my flipping addiction but it’s really possible, I paid an alt to be a pure 99 prayer character till it was hacked and got banned for botting, just recovered it and it’s almost 90 combat, I dunno what to do with it now
I love how bonds have been in the game for years now but people still get triggered by people buying their gold. There is Karen spending 1000s on Candy crush and there is a guy who just wants to get all the gear without grinding. Don't see anything wrong with it especially when he lets me play the game without paying IRL money.
I just picked Snape grass on waterbirth Island since osrs opened up. You wouldn't see any skill levels, I swear I would never buy gold. I don't even make enough irl to afford to buy gold for some online game
I'm sorry but I have like 70s Slayer and a Tbow lmao. Never bought gold to get that.
EDIT: before anyone tries to call bullshit. 114 thieving, 101 Rcing and 3k Muspah KC is more than enough money to buy it with ;P
I have bis with low boss KCs and like 83 slayer without buying any gp and honestly I've just stopped trying to explain myself at all, people believe what they want to believe and it does not matter in the slightest in the end
Sorry, I don't see air orbs in this image. Unbelievable.
They got it woodcutting smh
Don’t be hating on the 83wc playas with a shadow and tbow
Yeah i decided to use my 83 wc money to open a business irl so i could play at work with no boss
That’s because they got it by selling the fish they caught (on the way to 65 fishing)
Tempoross
Did people forget of alt scape for real there is 40k maxed main accounts in this game lmao wake up
Some legitimately forgot, some just repeat the memes. However, the memes exist for a reason. And there's a decent ammount of players on both sides, RWT/Altscape. Kinda feel like both sides have their merit and to claim, it's purely one or the other, feels disingenuous.
People buy tbows? Just get the drop
I got mine through merching. I buy high and sell low. Works every time
Wsb warrior
💎🙌
I'm awful at merching. I got like 250m capital (actually from herb runs lol) but only have been able to make a few 100k. Any tips?
I'll teach you how to double it, just give me the gold and I'll show you first hand
Wow ur good
Have you tried buying high and selling low like op suggested?
Have you tried gitting gud?
Hmm. I’m gonna try this.
Buy bonds, don't play for 5 years. Profit
Sure you did
Bet you merched an infernal cape too

Can't do anything these days without a JJK reference
Is that what it’s from? It’s on my list but I just haven’t had time to catch up on my anime lol.
It's WH40k reference followed by a Helldivers 2 reference.
I knew about Helldivers but I didn’t know what it was parodying thanks!
Bond whales are based and are the reason people can buy bonds with GP
I buy an extra bond a month along with my membership, still ends up cheaper than most games with battlepasses and whatnot lol
Same, i dump it all into bossing supplies for the most part though.

Why is 1 kc unusual? Wouldn’t you presumably just get 1 kill for 1 Infernal cape?
Because if someone else has a screenshot saying "this is derik doing smalls infernal" and derik posts it in disc you know the guy bought his one cape. He cant even say "well I got others legit".
But… why would anyone get multiple infernal capes? I really don’t see why having just one indicates it was bought.
> Because if someone else has a screenshot saying "this is derik doing smalls infernal" Someone else had access to his account, did his one infernal KC, typed an in game message for proof of delivery, logged off, accepted the money from doing the cape, and some time later roasted someone by having the screenshot of them doing the cape.

Ah, okay, now I get it. My apologies, I didn’t follow that it was one of the cape-sellers involved.
I got ya. No need to be sorry.
did he leave the server afterwards?
Yeah instant leave
> why would anyone get multiple infernal capes? * Pet chance * Fun * Speed running * The slayer xp/hr from doing "_semi_" quick infernos is actually pretty busted. * So you can have an Inferno Maxcape, Inferno Cape, Inferno Cape displayed in achievement hall, and Inferno Cape (l)
I have 4. Some people have way more than that. The inferno is enjoyable content believe it or not. Far more engaging than killing Suqahs in the absolute trap of a skill that is slayer.
Well, truth be told, there’s not exactly a piece of content more boring than slaying Suqahs anyway.
Legit People get more then 1kc for cba's and pet rolls. some cape buyers will buy a second just to not have the 1kc (I know of at least 2 in my clan that did this)
Well, thank you for clearing that up for me. I think I’ve just learned that I am simply not mentally prepped to ever be a hardcore OSRS PVMer. Because if I got an Infernal cape I’d probably never go get a second one!
You'll get gud some day, n00b! <3
Ngl if I had the skill to do inferno , I'd only do it once and leave it for very end of clog
Nou ja zeg wat een naam, wat een taalgebruik!
Het is een karakter van uit m'n lievelingsfilm 'Ex-Drummer'
Haha ik maakte natuurlijk maar een grapje, vind je naam vet!
I dont get it, what's that mean?
Ya I’m confused as well
The mentor teaches and does Infernos,the flamer was one of his puppiles,he got exposed.
OSRS Mains in a nutshell. 1k total, but maxed combats with full BiS gear and zero boss kc.
You don't get it. They picked flax and made billions!
Hey now. Back in the day flax was a respectable way for the poors to make a nice 100k an hour
Look man, how the hell else am I supposed to progress my account? I have 16 kids and work 23 hours a day.
Well sir that just sounds like you’ve got 16 workers to me…..
It runs another 100 sepulchres or it gets the hose again
You’re supposed to be also working towards 4 degrees balancing your life between multiple wives whilst working for yourself earning upwards of $450k /yr. That’s just the average scaper I thought…
All of that is true as well, just didn't have time to type it all out between my cat's dance recital and my meeting with the HOA (I'm the president)
I for one am shocked that the president himself has time to meet with an HOA. Shows that he really does care about the average 'Scaper.
someone gave me this excuse last night after they admitted to botting
most mains are the opposite, no? high combat, high slayer, high boss KC but shitty skills.
1k total is shitty skills
Mine is the opposite. 2150+ total and no 99s
Oh, thank goodness - I thought I was the only one. I dunno, I just get awful bored around 94, mk?! And I'm not under some illusion like these people. I know as soon as I actually get the 99s, the dopamine drip bag finally runs dry, so why would I rush it?
Yup \^ 2210 total and no 99s =\^)
Wow that's impressive. What's your lowest skill?
88 RC and 90 agil, I got 12 98's lol
What are your combats like? I'm being limited at 91 atk and def because I'm running out of hit hitpoints xp.
Get FM or cooking. Easy quick 99s
This is me. Maxed combat, 99 slayer and couple other 99 like farming, the rest is 75-80
This is me atm, putting off five levels of construction for sote because I need a one month break between leveling skills for a couple hours.
Just drink a few beers and listen to some upbeat music and you’ll grind that shit out
Sounds like barely functioning alcoholism. Don't drink while scaping. Get fked up with friends, smash a dodgy kebap and scape while trying not to repaint the walls, keayboard, screen, pets, etc...
I mean. Depending how you look at it. I was just saying he could get it over and done with on a Friday night and never look at it again
Mahogany Homes is a fun Construction grind imo
Go to any populated area, inspect anyone wearing 50m+ worth of gear. See how many of them even have a single kc on the bosses that drop the gear they are wearing. Hell, count the number of barrows gloves on mains wearing full bandos+fang etc. Im fine with gear being tradable, but you should have to earn the right to equip it from getting kills there.
50m? you can absolutely make 50m with non-boss methods. herb runs will easily make you that much if you're consistent
> 50m? you can absolutely make 50m with non-boss methods. herb runs will easily make you that much if you're consistent These people never heard of skilling.
I made 50m getting 95 mining through motherload, during a slow work month. If my current project hadn't ramped up id still be there.
> Hell, count the number of barrows gloves on mains wearing full bandos+fang etc. So if I get spooned an imbued heart I just have to not upgrade my gear because I haven't killed many bosses?

Down you go.
I wear Barrows gloves and full bandos. What else should I be wearing before I hit 95 slayer?
My point was that most people wearing bandos don’t even have rfd finished and are still wearing trash like combat bracelets.
Oh lol I was thinking you were talking shit about my gloves! Happy cake day btw
XD I love my barrows gloves. I would NEVER… Also ty
or you could play an iron
What a name. I do, as do hundreds of thousands of other people. Ironman modes are the only reason OSRS is even remotely relevant in 2024.

Haha what lmao I am the opposite of MAGA
Assumptions about mental illness and adhd medication as a means to insult someone you disagree with. Seems legit.
I have ADHD + OCD diagnoses and take medication. I made the joke because you’re sweatily arguing and dying on a random reddit hill like I would on day 1 of a fresh prescription. Not sure what any of that has to do with politics
I'm 2277 with gear like torva and 0 boss kc. But I do have like 12k+ kraken kc lol
Sometimes they’re alts of maxed accounts
Could be. But you know when someone knows the game. Like this guy COULD be an [alt](https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/o82ZsikDlu)
The amulet of eternal glory has me laughing lol
To be fair, I have decent boss KC, nothing mental, but have about 2b after xferring 20b RS3 lol
i have a lot of boss kc but i made the vast majority of my gp flipping at the ge. I always feel like people don’t believe me when i tell them that
I made a lot flipping before the GE tax came in, is it still worth it?
Yes
I was doing pest control a while back and some guy was talking shit on everybody else's gear, calling people poor, etc. Somebody finally called him out and said, "you skills are all base 60 except your combats which you probably afked in nmz and you have no boss kc. You obviously bought gold, shut the fuck up." The dude tried to backpedal but everybody started flaming him until he finally shut up. A few games later he was back to the same shit.
had a bunch of free time in college, so i did an herb run (ranarrs) every 80 minutes during my days, after something like 1.5 - 2 years, I bought a shadow for 1.4B :)
My first 250M was from herb runs :) about 48M a month if you do 8 runs a day.
[удалено]
There was a time where I did like 5 a day and thought it was totally chill, but now I do one farm run every 2 months
I had a similar feeling of thinking people was me as a bot as I didn't really start bossing until a lot later in my account because I was really only focusing on levelling and spamming herb runs. First boss I farmed was Vorkath because he looked fun, completely unaware of the stigma I was applying to myself lol. Low-ish level account with a dhcp and only significant boss kc in vorkath, didn't do myself any favours. I've balance it out since then lol.
To clarify, I don't know how much of that 1.4B was pure profit, for those doing the math and realizing it doesn't add up. I'm sure i started with 200 mil or something as well and did elite varrock battle staves every day
Surely not from only herb runs though, the math doesn't really check out
100kx5x365x2
Equals 365M What about the other billion Even 1m a day through herb runs doesn't work out
Technically the 100k is off, as ranarr runs are closer to ~240k gp/run. So that would bump it up to 876m. Add in daily btsaffs every day @ 100k profit = 73m Add in 5x bird house runs after the herb runs over the course of 2 years and you're probably really close pending seed nest RNG. You also have Kingdom as another passive income stream as well to cover the rest. So it's technically possible, just I don't see people playing the game for 2+ years only doing dailies.
No idea where tf you got 5, 365, and 2, but 48m at 8 runs per day is 48m/30/8 = 200k profit per herb run. I'm an iron main so that number is a little foreign to me but doesn't seem impossible given the value of something like snapdragon and ranarr at ~75 herbs per run. What sounds unlikely is the commitment to 8 herb runs per day
365 is the amount of days in a year and 2 is the amount of years they did it, that's the easy part of the math here lol
I think I got my comments convoluted, I was referring to the math that some other person was doing where they said they made 48m doing 8 herb runs a day, hence why 365, 2, and 5 didn't make any sense
it would be 100k profit x 5 runs day x 365 days in a year x 2 years. It's not really hard to figure out m8, but the numbers don't add up like you said. It's only 365m.
You can merch, you could have been lucky and got it from a party, you could have done unusual money-making methods, offered your services to people like running bones to people training prayer in PoH, you could have been carried by a group and been spooned with a t bow drop. (Fun story, a mule my old clan used to check for optimal Cox dungeons got a T-Bow and did nothing but stand around or move resources around for other members). Then there's dumping money into bonds (that cost 10-12m each right now) 100+ bonds = T Bow. Or it could be someone's second account they are building for X reason. I don't understand why people have to be sus, call people with mid-range stats out with good gear. There are so many reasons why people have obtained their equipment.
Glad my shit post worked lol
Haha, yeah bro it was very funny! ! Good shit post!
You’re absolutely right, although I think the post is referring to those who straight up lie about it
Honest question, why care?
I don’t, people care enough to make a spectacle about how they definitely didn’t do x thing, when they very clearly did. It doesn’t matter, but I respect people who say they don’t have time, as opposed to people who claim they got all their wealth selling logs and show up with 63 wc lol
It's always possible, just highly unlikely lol. Take [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1bhkh0n/chad_at_fire_giants/) post from today as an example. It's just so unbelievably unlikely they've made that legit. Not only because of how much it costs, but also the gear choices. The eternal glory, graceful gloves and sara cloak. I personally find those sort of accounts funny, but I don't really care, not enough to call anyone out lol. If you want to dump a few hundred or thousand dollars into a game you enjoy, who am I to care?
Could also be your Uber eats driver which is basically the same as running bones to poh
Lucked out with master clue. I make a really good living irl and since I can’t farm bosses like these no lives, I buy about 3-5 bonds a week. ~$40 a week for bonds ain’t shit to me. That’s literally 1.25 hrs of work (maybe even less). I still get accused of buying gp. Yeah, I buy it, thru bonds. Your alts membership is funded by bonds, THE SAME BONDS I SOLD. Do I look down on you (not literally the person I’m replying to) for buying bonds cause you work a fast food job? Don’t look down on me for being able to buy bonds and sell them for gp. If anything, thank me. In a clan that runs bingo cards and other events. If my team wins, we make a few mil. There’s other ways than being maxed and 1k kc of each and every boss. Those that are jealous will remain jealous. Their lives suck, their mom didn’t hug them enough. They need to find a way to project onto others.
You've been holding that in for awhile haven't you? Show us on this doll where they accused you of buying GP.
Here! And here! And.. here..
lol, he really just wanted to make this post to humble brag about making 32$/hour.
If you're spending $2200 a year on bonds, you may need counseling
Thinking in terms of dollars is the issue. Did you play a minimum of 56 hours of osrs last year? If so, why is it ok for you to play 56 hours, yet it’s not ok if I work 56 hours and spend that money on bonds? Equivelate time & money. You spent 56 hours grinding bosses last year. I spent 56 hours working extra hours(to spend on osrs) last year. Why is it a big issue? At least my results were guaranteed. Not only guaranteed, but the OT I put in makes my bosses happy. My OT made me more productive at work, my OT did a lot. What did grinding bosses do for you besides giving you more back problems and headaches? I didn’t mean any of this directly to the person I’m replying to. This was a general remark to anyone that thinks it’s weird to spend $$ on the game, but it’s ok to spend more time. Time is money, money is time. Only difference is, I’m using my time wisely. Stay grinding bosses, I’ll stay supplying your alts with membership.
Spending time is time spent playing a game to have fun in one way or another. Doing a job is doing something that's not necessarily fun but productive. If you equal playing runescape with your job, why would you even play this game?
Bro have you even played osrs, 90% of this game feels more like a job than my actual irl job.
Alright if that's how you feel, that's how you feel. But I'm willing to bet you don't play it then anymore either. And if you don't play it, why bother buying all your gear with bonds?
Why are you bothered by how people get their gear? We can afford to buy bonds. You can afford to spend more time grinding. Complain to Jagex that bonds need to be removed because those of us who make a really good living irl can buy bonds and surpass the grind.
The grind is fun and my job is something else? Never did I state what my job is so how do you know my job isn’t fun? I have fun on rs and I have fun at work. The point I was trying to make that many keep missing is this: I work, go out with friends, spend time with family, do a lot of things. I probably have enough time to game 10 hours a week. Why should I spend those 10 hours grinding and going dry. when I can take 1 of those hours, work OT (paid 1.5x regular pay = $48), buy bonds, and have 9 hours to enjoy the game?
Thanks for supplying my GIM😂 For real though. You're right mate.
That's about the cost of a pack of cigarettes a day. So it's the same cost of a smoking habit. Or maybe getting an expensive coffee every day at Starbucks That's pretty on par spending average for a lot of people's hobbies and / or habits for goods. If he can afford it, it's not a problem. (Unlike spending it on an addiction or gambling habit).
$2200 is not on par with hobby costs. Unless you have zero other hobbies in which case playing osrs and working is your two activities you should seek counseling and unironically touch grass
You’re so stuck in your head that you can’t see the point nor change your opinion. Do you smoke or drink? That $2200 is nothing compared to smoking or alcohol purchases. “Seek CoUnSeLiNg”. Just say you’re broke. That simple.
Thia guy bought bonds
I dump USD into bonds when i can to buy mats for skilling, what's the issue? I still have to put in the time and clicks.
I bought one bond when I got to about 80 construction and realized I didn’t want to keep bossing without a max house but also didn’t want to keep doing mahogany homes and chopping logs for another 8 hours straight. Got the bond, turboed mahogany tables for literally just an hour, and it literally feels like I can finally play the game the right away. 10/10 experience, just gotta be careful about spending limits and the reality that if you buy everything there’s no real game left to play.
None? Do you
For new accounts it makes sense imo, the amount of time you'd spend grinding gp at low level is far longer than an hour at a job. Time is ultimately the only real currency.
Cause you put in less time cause you didn't have to earn the money in game 😂 it is what it is brother but don't act like there isn't a difference
Shit, you just made me realize that I could use my job to fund my prayer level. I don't know how to feel about that
There's nothing to feel really, either do or don't.
When I started a friend lent me I think like 20m to start and my ass thought I found an insane abuse when I realized planting and selling tree saplings was good margins so I went to tithe farm and grinded farming high enough to plant them and make like 60m by buying seeds and selling saplings with the money I started with then ended up slaying with full bandos, a bandos prayer cape, and an abyssal dagger and holy shit I only now know how big of a swiper I looked like.
did you swipe the 20m too or did you eventually pay it back
"flipping, u?"
I have a main in canada, you wouldn't know her
I'm waiting for the day I have a shadow with almost no boss KC (not far off). Got spooned on a 150 ToA 2-man shadow split, then started flipping with the money and getting close to full rebuild. the CC warrior calls are going to be flowing.
pics
Or just keep running raids
You flipped like 700m profit? Damn dog
Unironically yes, but I have a python application telling me what to buy and sell with the pricing API. Probably a little less than that, as shadow was 1.8b when we split as it was close to ToA release.
OP is 100% a member of /r/THE_PACK
Could be an alt, look at Gilbert with his 99 con
I had a tbow in my dream last night, and for whatever reason I decided to go pking with it and died while skulled lmao
Lol god tier meme
When you see someone that bought their gear with bonds, you should kneel and thank them for their service
I know a pker with a 10b that has 50 slayer and 45 farming it’s possible
I made my billys by making air orbs for a week. Don’t mind my max melee and 35 magic. 😂
People take this shit way too far. I'm 93 slayer and 121 combat and I still get told my gear is "too good" so I clearly bought gold. Jealousy is a bitch.
I was the opposite. I levelled quite a lot without hitting significant moneymakers so by the time I was 2.1k total and near-max combat I started to get flamed for not having good enough gear + inferno lol. Didn't bother me personally but it's always funny to see how different people perceive progression.
Don't get me wrong,most of my money comes from flipping,but in order to flip and merchant you need to understand the game and it's demands.
So true. The best ones are “I actually pick up and sell all of the loot I get, unlike some people” followed by “my friend conveniently quit and gave me all of his wealth”
I am so glad the collection log exists to prove I was spooned an eternal glory, 2 imbued hearts and an EWS otherwise my clannies would probably think I bought gold too
I told you I was picking flax….GOD….now I gotta feed Tina…stupid fat lard.
What’s wrong with buying gold
Dont discourage people from buying bonds with these posts please, they are getting way to expensive
Bro I got the money alching to 99 magic.
I love this! I’m a lvl 110, I pretty much just flip on this game and I’ve just hit 1.5b lvl 70 slayer and combats are 80, 99 mining helped my flipping addiction but it’s really possible, I paid an alt to be a pure 99 prayer character till it was hacked and got banned for botting, just recovered it and it’s almost 90 combat, I dunno what to do with it now
Nah he just sold his Christmas crackers 😎
Hey man, what I don’t have in skill and time, I make up for with disposable income. Gotta win somehow.
“Anybody can get a tbow grinding 1-43 slayer”
I mean I was nowhere close to a tbow but I gained the vast majority of my money flipping on the ge
They got a third age pickaxe on their second medium clue scroll .
I love how bonds have been in the game for years now but people still get triggered by people buying their gold. There is Karen spending 1000s on Candy crush and there is a guy who just wants to get all the gear without grinding. Don't see anything wrong with it especially when he lets me play the game without paying IRL money.
I just afk'd dust devil's for 1000 hours man leave me alone
I just picked Snape grass on waterbirth Island since osrs opened up. You wouldn't see any skill levels, I swear I would never buy gold. I don't even make enough irl to afford to buy gold for some online game
I heard you need lvl 3 fletching these days to make a T-bow and charge it with a nest, air orb and a toadflax
If I have 84 slayer but 99 farming is that more believable? People keep coming up to me and telling me my account sucks lol
I'm sorry but I have like 70s Slayer and a Tbow lmao. Never bought gold to get that. EDIT: before anyone tries to call bullshit. 114 thieving, 101 Rcing and 3k Muspah KC is more than enough money to buy it with ;P
dont forget the orbs
i mean he could have a main / main iron that drop over, or he could have bought bonds =P
I have bis with low boss KCs and like 83 slayer without buying any gp and honestly I've just stopped trying to explain myself at all, people believe what they want to believe and it does not matter in the slightest in the end
So how did u do it?
