I didn't even know runescape was still around. Haven't played that shit since 2004 or some shit. Damn.
>>1112867
Runescape actually taught me a lot about markets, deal making, efficiency, and most importantly gambling.
It's too bad Jagex ruined this game beyond repair. Why do people still bother with this mess?
>Playing a literal 2d game for children in 2016
Holy fuck is there anyone more pathetic?
>>1112867
>tfw, I was providing liquidity to the markets before I even know what taxes were
>tfw, I had over a thousand dollars worth of virtual coins and I wasted it on virtual skills
>>1113056
And you wasted tens of thousands of dollars in opportunity cost as well as much better shit you could do than chopping trees all day in a child's game you wouldnt care about in a few years.
>>1113065
>playing a game when I was 15
>tens of thousand dollars in opportunity cost
Kek, I work for the family business anyways, so it doesn't matter now.
All worked out in the end :) Also, I trade on the side now too.
Tbh, I've spent probably like ~8 hours average a day playing video games from like 10-20 years of age.
League of legends was more of a waste desu.
>>1113070
>8 hours a day
>Is somehow proud of this
That's pathetic man. Did you even do anything during your childhood besides games? Did you ever have a girlfriend?
>>1113087
>not until like 18 y/o.
then again that's above average for 4chan prob
>>1112867

How about I pathetic for pointing out how autistic it is to be playing a 2d game for children in 2016?
I mean it's fun when you're a kid but do people still chop imaginary wood and catch imaginary fish all day?

You can sell any kind of in-game currency for real world money. All it matters is that you have a lot of it.
A person made about 8000 dollars out of selling gp. In total everyone made 400K USD out of abusing a bug for gold, a bug which hasn't been fixed for 3 years until it became popular.
>>1113415
having fun is not productive
therefore people who have fun are idiots
>>1113415
How do people have fun chopping trees all day on a game with the most shit-tier graphics ever is my point.
That game has one of the worst communities ever as well, nearly everyone is a scammer or trying to screw you over in some way.
>>1112867
fiat currency falls to zero, its not about the 2way price system mechanism but how much you can hold and ensure on delivery.
Pathetic videogame playing virgins.
It's not even a good game either, literally 2d grindfest with a million scammers.

I used to play this game in 2005 and had some bots.
>2005
>have 10 bots
>use them to pick flax
>new fancy runecrafting bot appears, buy it for 300usd, modify it a little bit in eclipse, and install it to all my computers
>selling all the gp to traders
>making around 3000 dollars per month- 300 of electricity bills
>banking for the next year until 2007 when free trade was removed from game.
>botting becomes way less profitable
>sell bots
>bank around 2.4k usd only from selling my accounts.
>bank around 70k dollars in 2 years with fees from using western union, living in third world country, still have computers, buy a old house at center of city in december 2008 set up a cyber with my computers and rent the other rooms to other people.
Had to stop playing the game because of the update and the chinese competition.

I made 10k selling gambling profits and I was small time.
Gambling clan owners (like fishy and winallday) made easy 6 figures.
This was back in 2012 when gambling was at its peak. It's now a bannable offense.
>tfw 55-60% house advantage
Steam is also nice place to make internetmoneys, ÿou can tell pretty easy what cases/skins are going to rise. Also 15% tax makes it punishing for doing stupid shit.
