    Monday Poll: Have you ever been scammed by a friend?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Fortunately I've only had one instance of a "friend" scamming me for a rune plate body and legs back when I was on the free worlds. I helped said "friend" complete Dragon Slayer but he didn't have enough money to buy the rune plate body and legs on his own. So, being a gentle hearted (or naive) soul, I offered him my help.

     

     

     

    At the time I needed materials to train my crafting so I made a small deal with him; trade me X amount of hard leather and I'll make stuff and sell to get money, then buy him the armor. Well, after about a week, slaving away with thread and needle and selling huge amounts of hard leather bodies to the general store -- I didn't have High Alchemy and couldn't afford the Nature runes anyways -- I finally scrounged up enough coins to buy my "friend" a rune plate body and legs.

     

     

     

    So, I finally met with said "friend" and traded him the rune body and legs. An hour later, he PMs me, telling me he just got scammed out of his rune body and legs. I tell him, if he wants my help again, he'll have to butcher X cows again and give me hard leather to work with to build up my cash supply. He begs and begs and begs, trying to convince me that he was scammed but he doesn't want to get me the hard leather, let alone cow hides so that I have to tan the hides myself!

     

     

     

    I tell him that I'm sorry he got scammed and it isn't my problem, because at that point, my instincts were telling me that my "friend" isn't the "scammEE" but is now the "scammER" by taking advantage of my generosity. Let's just say he shortly left the game, either because he really WAS scammed and was genuinely asking me for help, or he simply got bored of the game because he didn't understand the relation between skill training and money and other game nuances.

     

     

     

    The best "type" of friends are indeed the older crowd, at least from my experience since I fit into the older crowd too. And when I say "older crowd", I mean those who have at least finished high school, is going through university/college or finished and is working or is old enough to be responsible for children of their own and plays RuneScape as a quick brain chill after a long day at the "office". Anyways, I digress. The Older Crowd makes great friends because we realize it is just a game and we rarely obsess over items and that we play the game for what it is, a game. We don't take the game overly serious but we're usually serious enough to play the game honestly and the way game should be played; developing (grinding) our character's stats so that we (the character) can do more.

    The only problem I see is that if gold and violet dragons are weaker than black dragons, yet the hides they give are more valuable armorwise. Otherwise, I guess I support.

     

     

     

    Edit: Hehe, dragons in the backyard of the guild :wink:

    This is a funny idea but i definetly support. Im only 53 construction but i would definetly get it 2 60 4 this update....if it ever happend :roll:

    The Overall Easiest 99 Skill To Get?

    in General Discussion

    The fact that you mention 99 construction is an insult. There are about 300 people with 99 construction and 20k or so with 99 fletching/cooking. This already shows that construction skillcape is extremely rare. For a long period of time (and even maybe now, but i havn't checked) Construction has been the rarest skillcape due to it's immense cost and most people consider it "not worth it". Compare this to fletching/cooking for which the capes are abundant.

     

     

     

    Furthermore, construction is very expensive and has virtually NO return. The experience gain isn't all that generous either making it a hard skill. One of the most expensive to be precise

     

     

     

    Cooking/Fletching have ridiculously high exp rates and the total amount spent on them is very slight. This is because most of the money you spend to get 99 cooking/fletching can be returned, negating a part of the cost.

     

     

     

    Prayer also doesn't deserve to be included. Although it has more people (about 3k last I checked), this is all due to people just considering it more "useful". 99 prayer is also one of the most expensive skills and also has NO return on the investment. How could you possibly even think that one of the most expensive skills even comes close to comparing to fletching/cooking

     

     

     

    Don't assume a skill is easy just because it is buyable. A lot of people forget that the time spent to get the cash ALSO counts as time taken to get 99 in that skill.

    For example i only got mine 2 52 but it cost 3.2mill by itself think about getting 2 99.
