The answer to your raving is quite obvious.There clearly aren't many active players these days, therefore, there aren't many people farming "junk items", such as Flax, Ores, Logs, Dragon Bones, Hides, etc... Also, the low XP rate inhibits one's ability to level up quickly, thus making the items I stated above extremely sought after and in high quantities. There is however and easy solution to this "Stupid Economy" dilemma you're in, it is one I have been using basically during the whole lifespan of my account. I've made quite a few skilling alts to farm me all of the items I need whilst playing my main. It takes a little extra attention, but it works like a charm. If you need some starter items like armour, a rune axe, GP, or runes, I can provide you with some. But only if you are actually going to play somewhat frequently... I hate wasting supplies on players who play for like a week or two, and then disappear forever. My IGN is Punk For God, add me if you'd like to take me up on my offer. Also, if you could, please stop refrain from making negative posts in the future. It doesn't help anyone, especially if it's not constructive in some way.
