how to avoid or get rid of a beggar.

i have noticed that alot of people here on mylot are not too keen on runescape beggars, and i am quite the same. i have been playing runescape for quite a long time and i have a high lvled account (lvl 115) and this makes me quite a target for beggars. so here is a little guide to how i avoid them and deal with them. to aviod beggars, i tend to stay away from free to play worlds and AREAS. yes the areas in members that are f2p areas too can be a common area for beggars to hang out. for instance, no matter whether you are in f2p or members, lumbridge is full of beggars, the members beggers will hang out near the teleport spot (in front of the castle) or around the al kharid gate. they are generally people who are new to members and are sticking to areas they know so they don't get lost. banks in falador and varrok also get a fair few beggars in members (more of them in non members). avoiding these places as best as you can will help you to avoid beggars. when going into free to play (as is sometimes necessary) bank all expensive armour and jewelry, anything that can be seen and makes you look rich will attract beggars. when mid lvled, if you don't wear expensive armour in f2p, you can go more or less unnoticed by beggars. high lvl players how ever will be begged in f2p no matter what you do (100+ are always begged, even if they have no armour on). to get rid of beggars, without resorting to offensive language or breaking any rules (including luring). 1. teleport away... in members, you don't even need runes for this, just always have a charged glory on, and you will have 4 places you can teleport to. non members, pop into a bank and grab some runes, teleport away from the beggar, they can't follow you unless you tel them where you are going. 2. put them on your ignore list and walk away. it's simple enough to do, they can't personal message you so once they are bored of talking to thin air, they walk away. 3. go to places they can't go. if you have done a quest that allows acces to an area, you can almost garuntee that the beggar can't get there (they are too lazy to earn money, they are too lazy to do quests) go to a quest only area... they can't follow you lol. 4. be a bit mean, but nothing that will get you into trouble. tell them to bog off, or get lost, but do not try to swear at them, this could get you into trouble. 5. beg them back, i have done this a couple of times and i find it funny. one guy was asking me for a mil, so i asked him right back for it... he kept asking for one mil, and i just kept repeating him, he got fed up and went away.
