luring is deceit. deceit is learned. something learned has nothing to do with how smart is someone. this game (runescape) is played mostly by kids. some of them not old enough to have learned what "deceit" is (and i know of players 8 years old with nice combat lvl), not old enough to know how use forums, search for fan sites etc and find out that there are people that might try to deceive them. those kids might not have learned what deceit is, but might have learned to work hard to get a precious full rune. because they are young and know nothing of deceit, they trust other players. they trust them into even giving them their password (i did not even tried to, but 2 of my friends offered me their passwords, and of course i refused them) the players that know what deceit is, that are good at doing it and bad at working hard will always try to deceit, in trades or lures. my conclusion: i think it's bad: that luring exists that luring is alowed that lurers (and deceivers) are alowed to continue to play, because the quality of the people that plays this game is going down if they get to the conclusion that "deceit is good, because now i can skill in 2 days what that n00b must have worked for months". the society does not benefit when that kid grows and has to choose between hard working and deceiving, because we all know what path he will choose working hard does make coins, deceiving doesn't. it only takes from someone else, it does not bring something valuable to runescape. but, then again, only people that agree with me already will bother to read all this :(
