Some people play casually, some people play the leaderboards and some people play the trading game.

For me it was always a mix of the three with a dash of hardcore too though my biggest achievement was probably being the first to document a new way of trading on Runescape when the GE was first released; trying to explain that you could make far more money by not doing anything was not that difficult lol

It basically involved buying for 10gp in the UK morning when America had been in bed for a few hours and selling at 10-11pm at night when they were just about thinking of coming online. It was inevitable that some people would not get it and wreck the idea, but at least i got well known for it and consolidated my position as an uber-trader lol

I think at one point 95% of all fire runes traded daily were passing through my hands (at 10% profit on each and every one) and I suppose my biggest achievement was crashing my fansite with traffic when I made a topic about it :p

Also getting 99 in crafting when it was one of the last skills to be done because it was so expensive.

What is your highest achievement in a game?

    Completing ninja Gaiden in hardest difficulty, only time I have ever completed a game, put my controller down and just sat there. Took me 6 months.

    Finding a fool proof way to make coins in FIFA Ultimate Team! I can make on average about 60-70k per night.

    Considering 10k of those coins are selling on ebay for £1.29 at the moment, it could be quite the money spinner!

    Getting the A-spec License on Gran Turismo 3 was the hardest thing I've done, I knew Monaco Circuit like the back of my hand doing that!

    My highest achievement was breaking my addiction to Everquest. Although when I say "breaking", I mean "losing interest".

    I struggle to make any profit on that! What's the trick?

    I can't tell you that! The trouble is, the more people who attempt a certain method, the less profit that method makes.

    What I can say is find a few players who sell for around 3-4k max look at them in certain formations, e.g. 352 and 41212, and get to know the price of the players.

    The formations play a massive part in a players value. For example a Van Persie in 532 is worth about 13k. Whilst in a 41212 he is worth almost 20k.

    Just find a few players you can pick up cheap with out much competition and sell them on. From the players I sell I usually make around 1-2k. So not massive amounts but it soons adds up!

    according to True Achievements, getting all 300 hidden orbs in Crackdown was my hardest achievement, based on how many people played it and didn't get it.
