Well ive been getting back into the runescape loop over the past few days and ive visited the sythe.org forums for a bit, and the GE is creating a problem for trading obviously. Bounty hunter seems like a good way to trade but everyone seems scared to do it. Im not even sure how the bounty hunter method works fully but i know people are scared to use it because they are afraid of other people in bounty hunter will kill them and the trade. Now i have two things:

Theres no remote place in bounty hunter to do this trade process?

and

What if we created a small army for each bounty hunter level of say 5-8 members and we sold our protection of trades? Like if someone wanted to do a trade through bounty hunter they could "hire" us to protect them through the trade process.

Once again im just getting back into the loop and im just throwing ideas out there.

rather risky trying to get 5-8 people not you backstab with 1m+ on the line.
so i hate to admit it, but jagex has follishly totally defeated RWT and autoing with armies.

but if your on a site like sythe and you build a rep than it could work

How would you pay the army to protect you? There is a 3k trade limit. And to transfer funds through bounty hunter you would have to hire your own army to protect you.

actually i loaned a friend about 20m and then they made that stupid rule so we were going to have him bring in a red mask and id kill him

There has been lots of threads relating to this subject, and I have read quite a bit.. So my best suggestion is to get your friend(s) that you TRUST, make sure you know them really good, cause this could be just as big of a threat than some simple PKer or a stupid noob wandering around. Remember that it only takes ONE person to screw everything up, so be very careful. I would only take people you know like in real life, or has helped you transfer stuff in the past. The really big problem that I see that could happen while transfering through Bounty Hunter is now that "Bounty Locate" is lower in mage requirement, and now f2p is if you bring 2-5 friends or so, is one of your friends will be near you…If someone teleports to your friend(s) as a target….They could attack you even if attacked by your friends, as long as they don't fight them back as i understand? There are many new risks aswell as many new ways to transfer.

Happy Transfering,

Good way to transfer 5-6 m would be if you brought a pumpkin/easter egg to BH since they count as food you wont get a red skull etc.. Then just kill the acc with pumpkin and run out

That doesn't work, just because it is food, doesn't mean it doesn't count towards your total wealth. As well as this, chances are, pumpkin/egg would probably be classified as a rare so you can't bring it in.

The safest way to transfer stuff via bounty hunter is with rune plates. Do it on a f2p world, with a low population, preferably at times when no one is on.
-Dual log with the destination account as well as the source account
-On the source account, have it carry a rune plate and some food, on the destination account, carry 27 swordfish.
-Zone into bounty hunter and find each other asap, killing the source account with the destination account
-Run to the middle once you have made the transfer and hope no one teleports to you. If someone does attack you, chuck protect prayers on and try shake them or attack them and hope the timer runs out before you die.

I feel that with the new system, if someone teleports to you, it means you are their target, which means they will run after and chase you and with bounty locate being f2p now, it will be very hard to shake them off.
It would be easier to just attack them back which results in them hitting you less as they will need to eat.
On the other hand though, you will generally be carrying less weight than the other player which could make shaking them easier.

Obviously you could change the rune plate to zammy plate etc or use a friend instead of dual logging.

edit: As for your bounty protection idea, I do not think it would be very profitable venture for the guards, not to mention the transfer of the payment to the guards would also take very long.

Im afraid your wrong, because it has been tested and it works :)

well, i personally have a pre set up way (through auto wcing) of transferring wealth, although it isn't sustainable, basically i have 20k willows in my main, and i will sell them over G.E to my army for the highest price possible, unfortunately this will only work to the extent of around 350k…
