friends that always want stuff...

ok, i know there are a fair few higher lvled players here on mylot, so i was wondering if you have the same problem as me: people on your friends list that always want stuff from you?
i got 85 slayer not long ago, and yes i have spent a little bit of time killing abyssal demons, but no i haven't had a whip drop (best drop so far has been d med). yet i have people who are on my friends list who constantly ask me if i have one yet, and if i do can i sell it to them for next to nothing...
well no actually i can't!!! 1 i haven't had as a drop, and 2 you don't say, hi how are you... just straight into "i want".
today, i had a friend ask if i had nats to sell, i said no sorry, i am actually rcing some now...
but of course, as i can make them, oh am i willing to sell 350 of them for well below market price?! how about no... maybe when my rc is 92 and i can make double nats from 1 ess, i will go sell for less than market price but until then i don't see why i should.
yes i can make them, but why should i use up my game play time just to get other people stuff well below market price (in some cases i have been asked if i will give for free, purely because it's something i can make)?
i very rarely ask my friends to get me anything, and in the past when i have asked around for stuff, i have been willing to pay normal market price, why do some people think they can get stuff out of me and other higher lvled players just because we have worked on our characters to get those lvls to be able to do stuff they can't?

Asking for free stuff is a quick way to find yourself oof my friends list. I usually offer to craft their stuff if they bring it to me at the alter or whatever but I don't just give it away. As for the stuff I make I usually sell it at a discount, but not free.

i have a lvl 76 on runescape destroyer949 ...but i dont think people should be so dependant on everyone else to just give them free stuff......the point of the game is to go out and get your lvl up so you can also make nats or kill abyssal demons.....and natalie...if u wanna add me ..destroyer949 ... i can guarantee you that i wont lead you to the enemy.....but im pretty generous on the game....i have one friend who since he started plaing ive given about 350k worth of money and items.....thats alot of money for a noob.....but yah....you guys should read my discussion i made..... bout how to get money and exp. as and f2p...

Yes! All the time. Most of my friends are pretty good about it but there have been a couple "persistant people...", who usually get deleted from my list.
I have the same feeling as you and grats on 92 rc, nice!

many people, even though they do it themselves to raise cooking, fail to take into account that you often swap pre cooked food in amounts of 100-1k for raws, meaning that you don't actually gain a huge stock pile of food sitting in your bank...
i have 92 cooking at the moment (it's been at 92 ages lol) and any food i have in my bank gets slowly used up doing combat related skills, i know for a fact that when i reach 99 cooking, i still wont have oodles of food just hanging around!

cooking was fairly easy to raise to 99.in a week i got my cooking from 52 to 89..which was very fast.seriously..i bought raws 230ea..in bunches..and i cook them..losing 10keach time..but i was happy with my fast accomplishment..it is now 99.as i did the same method over and over again..till i got it..

i don't even need to wear stuff in f2p to be begged lol.
tonight whilst playing i had to go to f2p to meet a friend (he was buying some nats from me) i had private chat switched on (very unusual for me) some guy pmed me, he was stood outsiode varrok bank, he said hi, then can i have 25k...
i was stood right next to a bank booth, he couldn't see what i was or wasn't wearing, he just used his mouse and saw a random lvl 116 stood there, thinking i would hand out money...
also i had someone pm asking for money and weapons in a members world!
it seems never ending lol.

I am currently slaying abbysals also....got a whip long time ago.but yeah..back to the discussion.yes people ask me everyday if i can give them stuff.it all comes to money and runes and free armors.and in the end..they get it from me anyways..but like you said..for a lower price..but since i dont need any money..i guess im a bit willing to sell it..but not exactly for the market price.and lately..the begging has been going down..maybe becuz ive been hiding out training.but yeah anyways..most ppl know my training areas already.so ive been avoiding giving away stuff..becuz i always have the urge to..since im a nice person anyways.i just hope i dont empty my bank out....anytime soon.hehe.im not gonna say my name here..you have to meet me in the game..by chance i suppose..if you want anything off of me.

many people ask for items because they do not have the patience to make the money to buy the item, or do not have the patience to kill monsters until they get the drop that they are looking for. I have had people ask be for free items like full rune for free (Like anyone would give full rune away for free) just because i have a fairly high level combat. You will always find these pests throughout the game.
