This is ridiculous, can't do the events now as well, as you get lamps as rewards from it, and since these are not bankable, it quickly fills up your backpack space so you can't play.

Please for the love of Guthix, make lamps bankable; as then one day i can collect loads, and come back to RS.

All these people saying they'd exploit it, there isn't a way to; that is the whole point in the game optimal usage of exp boosts, to gain the most exp reward. ;)

the tokens can be banked and saved for later use. Lost Woods numba 1, (NOT EE, Those scrubs are liars ;p)

As much as I am against TH, this is just silly.

Destroy them or subscribe, and don't let a silly thing like a few keys stop you from playing.
Fullblown non-playing lurker since 26/06/17. May come back if both the devs and the MTX team get their bloody act together.

After playing over 12 years with almost a years playing time in game, decided to have a life in the real world instead....

The F2P keys were a nice way to stay in the loop; yet if they only want paying members, to the point of putting someone like me off, then clearly something is wrong with their plan. ;)

So what is the point doing the event, if you destroy the reward. O_o

There is no guarantee they will; it might not be years before i come back as a member. :|

Nah the thing wrong here imo is you wanting mems items w/o having to pay.

Hey?!?! :O

We can't use the bankable lamps until being a member again...

Thus it only encourages people to become a member; destroying them makes Treasure Hunter a waste of time for F2P. ;)

I can understand the OP's frustration, to a point. However, I do not believe lamps were ever bankable...and I don't think they should become bankable.

Sure, you get an orange or even red prize on TH, and for a few seconds you wonder if maybe you'll get a nice item. Then you get a huge Farming lamp or something else equally useless to free players. Since you cannot bank lamps, you have to either use them(if you can)or destroy them. As I have no intention of ever subscribing, I have no interest in holding on to member lamps. There is no reason for me to do anything other than say to myself "Ah well, maybe next time.", drop/destroy the useless item, and move on without giving the matter any further thought.

Now that free players are able to cash out certain member items via the Grand Exchange, it's not quite as annoying to get member items on TH as it used to be. Some member items I actually collect and keep in my bank, even though I'll never use them. The rest, including lamps/stars, I cash out or destroy.

You may not get anything worthwhile on any given day in a TH chest, but you're not really losing anything aside from a few seconds of your time - unless, of course, you're spending money to buy keys, which is something else I'll never do. :p Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!
You can buy XP. You can't buy experience.

If you consider lamps one of the bigger rewards from th, i feel sorry for you.

There more important things the devs need to be working on imo than making lamps bankable.
