Okay,I will try to explain why your guide was 7 page.
WARNING THE BELOW IS SIMPLY A WALL OF TEXT,SKIP TO THE NEXT PART IF YOU WANT.
ALL money making need is
ONE thing,and that is perserverense.Those full socket archers did'nt buy/make those socks in few months,you must perservere while hunting,meaning hunting long to get better drops,perserverence to continue even though it is a long journey to your dream equipment.
About why your guide is not answered,dead:There's no definate guide to making money,all you need is your brain.If you have even borthered to think about how the human mind works(For e.g:A=Selling,B=Got the things A wants,C=Buying what A wants,C approaches A with a offer,because many people suggest the "buy low sell high" tactic,he offers low,A immediately rejects.Then C approaches A,okay,lets say,A wants to buy mets,and A is selling a db,C offers 200mets(200m on my server) for the DB(45m cheapest).A might not or might accept,I will explain what is the situation in that A accepts and rejects.
Accepts
--------
Why:A wants to train(Or w/e you need mets for)desperately,he is quite rich and is willing to trade because he really needs them,lets say C had offered him 40m,even though it worths more then 200 mets,but,A does'nt need cash,what he need is METS.
Rejects
--------
Why:A,even though is desperate about buying mets,is a guy who is not willing to sacrifice 20m just for the mets.So he rejects C.
Long story short:
---------------
In the above situation what I was trying to say was that if you find what A wants,he might trade it even though he loses 20M!
Okay,see?I can make a guide 3 paragraphs long,OR make it into 2 SENTENCES.That is,I believe one of the reasons why you think other's guide arent good as yours.Also half of the guide(3.5pages)were for TOTAL noobs,while in other guides,they assume that you do know what to do.
Okay I will know try to make your guide short,you'll be surprised how your wasted the whole day.
Start
-----
You can train or get plvled till 85,pick up what/ever is dropped.(PLVLED IS preferred because you can pick up their drops)
When your lvl 85 hunt at alienbandits.Get 10 mets from them,sell at 2.7m each.Use the buy high sell low tactic and earn,for e.g,buy one met scroll for 2.5m then sell at 2.7m.
Another way of getting money is obviously paypalling.
End of what you were trying to say,also lvl 73 is enough to one hit alienbandits I believe.
P.S:Those points were from 3 minutes of random reading of your guide =).
Edit:+T if this cleared your frustration
