As I said in a seperate thread, even people who are honest in real life can lean toward to dark side of the law when playing RS becasue there is no supervision and no accountability.
I am lvl30, which is low lvl apparently, and haven't been playing all that long so I don't have many friends to hang out with. As for the following and annoying people, I guess I'd rather build my skills.
I should clarify myself. I love RS, I play whenever I get the time, but I also have a fulltime job, attend college fulltime, have a wife and a son, so I still have a life outside of RS.
First of all RS is just a game, so you shouldn't feel obligated to defend or stand up for it. Second, if you like playing RS, WHO CARES. Someday when you graduate high school and get away from all the drama you'll think to yourself, "Why did I ever care what they thought?"
Finding trusworthy players in a game that has no real accoutability is hard, even players who are honest in real life might like to let loose and be a crook in game. I did meet a player recently who turned out to be a very nice person. I traded them once and a couple of day later I got a PM asking who I was and why I was on their list. I said, "I dunno...", but then we kept talking and learned we have much in common. Now we are friends on purpose! :lol:
I don't like when people type so fast they can't form complete sentences, let alone spell anything right and you have no idea what they said in the first place.
I haven't been playing all that long and I have been approached by a couple of scammers. The first one said that their mom workded for Jagex and that they could get me a free member account, all I have to do is give them my exisiting account password and choose a another for my new account. OBVIOUS SCAM! I tried to get them to leave me alone, but after 15 min of them following me around and bothering me I reported them. The second one was a player who said they were on the Jagex staff and wanted to give me a free member account, but they lacked the gold crown. SCAM! I said no thanks and they left so I didn't report them.
