However, it is not uncommon to say that the those skills that require more money (like cooking or firemaking) are also used by members. Members spend more time earning the money needed to buy the raw materials to RS gold power-level the ability. According to some, members earn more money and have less time to spend in the event that time is approximately equal to money. This can get a bit difficult, since multiple variations are involved. So, to clear somethings up, I'll list the points each side has.

P2P earns more money overall. Green drags, a variety of abilities like slayer and a greater amount of money that can be used to purchase merchandise gives them an advantage over pf2ps. They have faster training methods. Bones that are large can be placed in a pitiful way compared to gold-plated altars. You can earn 99 on the skills that make more money than any other skill.

The PF2P earns money slower, and the most risky method (shorter of merchandising) would be to either mine rune stones which are slow and risky, as well as to cut stuff (yews, soldiers of cockroaches). In an hourly basis the PF2P makes less money for the fastest money making methods than the P2P.

The availability of slower training methods is generally more prevalent. Because some members train at f2p locations like SoS Red spiders and Cockroach soldiers, it reduces their speed but places them on the same level as pf2ps. People close to 99 are more likely join a club rather than free players. This lets them gain more experience and reduce their speed.

Because all variants are alike, it is normal to expect that a pf2p would get a 99 at lower than a member. But it's unfair for the skills to be compared. While a ranger might be able to achieve a 99 faster than a player who has trained for in mining, he won't have the same advantage in mining-related training. He would also have to compete with other players to get ore rocks.

My opinion is that it all boils down to how one perceives the value of a skilled performance. Similar concerns arise regarding whether gold medalists in ParaOlympics should receive more respect than Olympic gold medalists. ParaOlympics competitors had to overcome physical disabilities in order to cheap OSRS gold be awarded the medal. But, it would be unfair to reduce the importance of a person who won a medal, as they also have to overcome physical limitations to obtain the medal.
