something that might need addressed, hopefully this gets seen on page 15 (doubt it, sigh).
Ultimate Iron Men cannot access a bank. ok, thats pretty cool, makes the game really hard. but what are they gonna do with their coins? hold on to em. if they decide to be the first Ultimate Iron Man to go for 99 slayer, what do they with all their loots? they cant hold on to every whip they get. they cant sell em to other players. they need to alch whips (and other valuable loot, just using whips as an example), but alching a whip sounds so heartbreaking. ok, so maybe sell it to a general shop, somebody else can buy it, the UIM still gets some money. now theres a bunch of whips being "traded" for low amounts of cash. thatd suck.
or how about the noted pure essence drops from many many slayer monsters? you cant use a bank, good luck unnoting loots. any loots, not just p ess.
UIM players would be carrying tons of valuables on them at all times, or selling them to general shops, or alching them, and theyd have a huge cash stack on them at almost all times. or theyre forced to drop their cash stack when they have a small one, instead of letting it build up. inventory space is priceless, especially for some stats like slayer, runecrafting, or even mining. UIM accounts will be making basic, ordinary players absolutely filthy rich, because the UIMs cant hold on to everything.
not to mention how useless coins are at later stages of the game. how many coins does it take to buy a dragon chain? or any godsword? how about a whip, or sara sword? a rune axe? dragon pickaxe? pure essence? you cant buy any of these. UIMs who manage to survive and get to high 60s for stats will have nearly no use for coins, unless they die and need to replace things, in which case they also lost all their coins, and they just made someone elses entire week with the loot they dropped*
**;dr, UIMs need at least a little bank space, or their items need to separate from basic players.
