Another major reason this is needed, is that on this latest Treasure Hunter promotion, wanted to buy many so could get the items; yet as a free player, that isn't possible as would have to destroy many of the items, that is a stupid business model.

Everything that is winnable on Treasure Hunter should be claimable for both F2P, & P2P.... Otherwise the F2Ps won't use Treasure Hunter promotions.

Why would a F2P buy keys to participate in a TH promotion for a members item for a members skill, but not buy memb? ^-^

Support.

They allowed F2P to claim members' prizes from Treasure Hunter, they should allow lamps to be banked too.

The more lamps sitting in bank, the greater the incentive to subscribe and use up all those lamps.
Nah.

The more members items you miss out on the more incentive to become member and stop wasting keys.
Nice lolgic there. You've clearly not played a F2P account for too long, if at all.

Did you know that prior to early 2014, every single fallen star, or members' item such as red dragonhide or grimy guams had to be discarded if won on an F2P account? Didn't you think that Jagex would have a very good reason to change that? They changed it so that the members' items would just sit in your bank. Now you can even sell them on GE because it means you can use the gps to buy bonds.

This reverse psychology you're proposing, good luck with it succeeding Runescape Forumers Discord Server

I've been playing 11 years. I think I've had a F2P account for quite some time within all that time

Looking back at your post it seems I misread the point of what you said at first.

Regardless..

I've seen it happen plenty of times. F2P wins a huge lamp they can't use, they hold onto it waiting to be able to buy memb to use it. Lamp's aren't regular items, and shouldn't be bankable.

You can sell whatever memb junk items you win in F2P to put towards a bond, sure. Same doesn't apply to lamps though, so there's no point to banking them.

If you want to stockpile memb lamps you've won on F2P your "necessity" to use them as quickly as possible to free up your inventory space again is a nice incentive to entice someone to become a member. That convenience also comes with actually winning whatever you get, more bank space, and not having to waste inventory space just holding onto things in the future.

Let them bank and next complaint will be they can't play because their bankspace is completely filled with stockpiled lamps they can't use, so why not just let them use them. ^-^
