geez, you guys just want to complain about everything don't you? Taking advantage of this is VERY difficult.
For starters, you can make a new account and get the 1 month free membership, yaaaaaay! But that account needs to be a member for that, meaning you have to pay for it. You are still paying for your own membership, so if you are paying one account to get another membership, you still paid for it! It is extremely pointless if you do not plan on using it.
People complain that now people can get free xp for themselves. Then you better have two computers or a way to log in with both at the same time to get the bonus xp. or, you would have to play on the new account yourself, which if you think about it, your main can make the xp much much faster. 10% of going from lv 1-10 crafting is little compared to the time spent on your main making dragon hide armor. make sense? And you still have to keep paying membership for this new account to get these benefits.
The only abuse I can see coming from it is if a player or a bot recruits a bot, who will gain a massive amount of experience. 10% of 1 million xp is 100k xp. That is still a good amount. going to 99 in a skill get the player an estimated 1.3 million xp. That is the only abuse I can see. But if Jagex catches this bot, they know who recruited it. If they see this player recruiting alot of botters, I am sure they will suffer the wrath of Jagex.
The best way to make the most out of this is recruit someone and hope they get addicted to RS. That is the only way to make the most of it.
