I trust scammed people in f2p at least 13 years ago with a friend called bokitoattack. Id pretend I was quitting wearing my full black (g) pahjeet magnet. Id say whoever trusts me with the most items gets my account, we would pretend my friend always one-upped them. One time we had a poor guy give his Addy 2h and like 500g of garbage which to him was his whole bank. (we literally scammed above varrock bank so people could get more items.)

The poor guy never logged in again.

Used to sell usernames on StarCraft and Diablo 2. There was a time when cool names could be sold for a few dozen dollars, but in very early battle.net they prevented new usernames from having non-alphanumeric characters.
Usernames like (o__o) or whatever could easily sell for hundreds of dollars.
Moreover, it was really easy to scam people so I'd sell the name illegal usernames over and over.

I got some of mine from an MMO called Star Sonata.

Players can set up shops all over the universe, and there's no good website or index for searching inventory or availability. There's a chat command though that can return the highest / lowest 10 buy and sell orders for any specific item though, so by running through a list of some of the more valuable items you can find some great profits. Most players don't do it because you have to check each item manually.

I made ~90k from selling gp/mesos, some of which was received as/invested into Bitcoin, turning that into ~500k, then I invested 9 BTC into random Kucoin shitcoins and turned that into 60 BTC
I also cashed out before the dip so I have even more BTC now

Before farming came out back in 2005, they released an update where you could acquire all the materials for the skill to be used in the future.

I tele'd to every major bank (Seers was especially good) and bought all the tree seeds for piss cheap prices. Sold on the forums for a killing.

Worked for a solid 1 month+ even after farming came out. Man I loved Runescape, it taught me how to avoid scams and how to spot good flipping opportunities.

I don't really like the game that much. It feels like a waste of time. Is there any mmo worth playing?
If you're gonna sink your life into a game, you might as well play the biggest mmo, otherwise it was a waste of an investment. Because mmos aren't based on skill.

wow here too. I got to be one, if not, the wealthiest guy on my realm. The ultimate way of making gold is buying cheap TCG mounts from chinese guys (via skype) and then reselling them for at least 2x or 3x of your buy price.
