[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;46014241]What sort of scams were you in to?[/QUOTE]
Dice scamming. Build up trust in a world, you might loose a bit of money doing this but after a while people will start betting 25-100m on you in GP/Items. Once they did you would roll the dice and if you lost you would log and move on to the next world.[/QUOTE]
The backpedaling is real
[QUOTE=ejonkou;46036538]While I will agree that most luring and gambling were very detrimental to the game and I'm happy that they're both almost abolished. Sure, some lures are still going on and there's still some small IRC gambling channels. But they're not nearly as big as they used to be.
Not all lures were detrimental to the game.
Scamming is against the rules, I didn't scam. But as I've said before, and I'll say it one last time I lured and was involved in gambling which didn't fall under the scamming rules back in the day. So they were both perfectly legal.
Now that they are both against the rules and with severe punishments for engaging in such activities I no longer do.[/QUOTE]
I know, I used to dice back in 2012, but this isnt gambling-

This is flat out scamming.

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;46036537]For the most part, you're not going to find people who are savvy about scamming in fucking RUNESCAPE. WoW, yeah. EVE Online, hell yeah. Runescape, the simple fantasy game for kids and teens? I don't buy it. You're a carp trying to justify chasing after minnows by pointing at sharks in the adjacent body of water.[/QUOTE]
All the scams in Runescape has to come from somewhere. A lot of them are elaborate and require a lot of planning to execute them properly. If you would do some quick Google research you would know that. I have played EVE Online on and off since around 2009. I've scammed and robbed in that game aswell.
EVE Online has elaborate scams, much more so than Runescape. But they're rather rare.
I have also played World of Warcraft on and off since 2006. I have thousands of hours played and I have raided in almost every expansion, except TBC. I know that the scams pulled in World of Warcraft is the typical ones. BS your way to the top of a guild and steal BIS gear from other raiders, steal the guild bank, steal from your friends or host some sort of gambling game.
[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;46036537]So it's a simple redirection scam. "I've got a buddy over this way who wants this, I'll have him give you the goods when you get there." That's fucking ancient. I distinctly remember falling for that one in SWG.[/QUOTE]
Every scam is ancient. They surpass SWG and video games entirely. That doesn't mean that they can't be refined. Scams in every game is generally different and requires knowledge of game mechanics to be pulled off.
You can make any sort of elaborate scam you want. But it's generally the simple scams that get people.
[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;46036537]Hell, the only person I could see falling for this is either a drunkard or a kid. This is nowhere near the level of espionage you'd find in EVE or even your average MMO's guild politicking. The only major difference between the Camelot Tab scam and most scams of its type is that you don't ambush the putz when they arrive at the agreed-upon location.[/QUOTE]
The reason people fall for scams aren't because they're a certain age or are drunk. It's because they're not in the right state of mind. I can remember almost every time I got scammed and why I did. Back in 2011 I was scammed for 800M, not because I was drunk or that I was very young. But I was sleep deprived, and impatient.
Sure, my example isn't the best example I could give. Dbone lure would have probably been a much better example of an elaborate lure/scam.
Scams in Runescape aren't on the level of EVE Online espionage. But you're trying to write them off without any sort of experience. Many of them surpasses anything you would find in World of Warcraft.
[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;46036537]The major component of us thinking you're a dick isn't your scam methods, it's your victims. Nobody who knows better physically trades in Runescape. You're catching kids and really fucking them over for some petty wealth you won't even find much use for.[/QUOTE]
I didn't scam. Physical trades is the only way to trade in OSRS. My "victims" were not kids.

"I'm a scammer"
get told what a cunt you are
"It was OK because they desvered it!"
get told what an even bigger cunt you are
"I'm not scamming!"
I dont see how using trickery and deceit to get someones stuff is anything but objectively cunty. You literally admitted to running dice gambling and refusing to pay out if you lost. That's a textbook scam.

I'm looking forward to using up all my Motherlode Shards and finally selling my Elder Seeds. I wish the Summoning/Divination clan was in the first batch. The new Divination familiar looks so OP.

Legitimate players are players who play within the rules of the game. So your opinion is invalid.

I've tried to drop this subject multiple times but you guys seem to just want to bring it back up. You and Geel9 should just stop before you derail this thread even further.
I'm allowed to reply to false allegations directed towards me.
I don't care about the elf city. I doubt I'll ever go there. I'd have preferred Invention tbh.

literally 10 years yesterday it was added
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;46039733]If it requires 1000 quests and 3 99s, then I for one won't go there for many years.[/QUOTE]
It requires all the elf quests (about 10? probably less) and a few level 75s. [B][U]IT'S WORTH IT. ELF CITY WILL LITERALLY BE THE BEST PLACE TO SKILL FOR A LONG TIME.[/U][/B]

thats why i asked if it was actually going to get used now
If i wasn't already 99 in everything, i'd probably be more eager for Prifddinas, i guess gold shattered hearts will have to sustain me until they release the combo potions, grindable dungeoneering and the crystal tools. think batch 1 is base combat skills, slayer, mine, smith, woodcutting and farming. the more chunkier things like combo potions and moss is probably in batch 2, same thing with the crystal tools.
Crystal imps may or may not be in batch 1, since the Max Guild does teleport to skilling areas, so who knows. hopefully tree-shaking scrimshaws are updated to count crystal implings, might make grinding for the sidequest much easier plus 3x surface loot might sound nicer for IF you actually find implings, rather than running off to the bank, just to have some other jerk steal it because all the items are worse than the bare imp-in-a-jar price.
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;46040699]thats why i asked if it was actually going to get used now[/QUOTE]
Yes, it will. First batch opens half the city up. Second batch opens the rest, second batch making it the biggest city in the game with the most content.
Elf City is basically going to be skillers paradise; the city. I cant wait for the thieving training because I want thieving training that isn't total fucking boring/annoying shit.

fuck you're right, theiving isn't in first batch :/ Oh well, mining/smithing will make it nice
[QUOTE=geel9;46039649]>not going to a massive skill central with awesome bonuses

So what. I cba to train the worst skill in the world to 75 just to do some quests and get in there. Plus it looks ugly and the elves are hideous and annoying.
Welp, my 2-week trial for OSRS is over.
Now I'm in a really difficult situation. Since I've never been a member on my old RS account or my trial OSRS account, I've neither experienced the RS3 membership content or the OS membership content.
Should I go member on the OSRS account and start fresh with RS3, or go member on the RS3 account and start fresh with OSRS?
