How many accounts that have never had membership are looking to give out more than 25k at once?

[Judobreaker]

Why would they be fucked...They can trade, they can receive anything.They just can't give away a lot which isn't really a large handicap I think...I do think it helps fight gold farmers though because they'll have to buy memberships now.

So...the situation as it is now...Gold farmers make a new account, bot on it till they have like 100mThey get membersSell the gold for regular profit - 1 time membership feeThey get banned.They start over.

[Brad]

What is considered a "new" account?

What is considered a "new" account?

Any account thats created since the update will have these limitations I think.

[Fergal]

Eh, hardly. If you think about it, in a years time, if that's still the case, a person with pretty high levels that created their account a year earlier would still be in effect of this, which is stupid.

I hate bosses coz you need a team and I don't like the extreme risk in pking and staking :PMerching is good money still, if you're good at it, that is. My friend makes like 10m per day with regular merching and item flipping and he doesnt even play that much.

Yer I used to merch "/ then I got sick of following the charts, might start flipping h'weens again
