1. You open a trade window up with the person you're running.

2. There is a running box next to the money box. You click it, and it displays a drop down list of all the places you've been to.

3. You select your destination and click submit offer. The other person, meanwhile, would be offering money. But the money would have to be in their storage, otherwise the trade could not be completed.

4. You both accept, and begin to run the person to their destination. When you arrive at that location, Guild Wars would take the agreed upon amount from the payer's storage and deposit it in the runner's storage.

5. Bingo. The runner gets his/her money risk free, and the payer's gets the run without being able to scam the runner. Also, if they payer tries to widthdraw his/her money from the storage, Guild Wars would deny the attempt. If either the runner or the payer logged out during the run, Guild Wars would instantly cancel the trade, and the money would again be able to be widthdrawn from the payer's storage.


In my mind, this would be an easy system to create and implement, drastically reducing the scams concerning running. It is fair towards both the runner and the payer, and ensures that both are fairly treated.
