Rule 2 hasn't changed much at all, it's more of a clarification, and there are no changes to the meat of the rule itself. If you look at the bottom of the rule, here, you'll see a brief list of example scams. We've now expanded this to state that luring someone into the Wilderness under false pretences is definitely a scam.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The majority of you all are good players who stick to the rules, so this shouldn't affect you, but rule breakers beware!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: This is a reversal of what was posted on the forums a while back. We realised the earlier decision was a bad idea, and that luring really isn't very nice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luring now is a scam :)

no, it still depends on how it gets carried out. If someone said "I'm across edge bridge, meet me there" there is no misdirection, and as such, it is not a scam.

Good decision by Jagex I feel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But they're going to have a hard time with each individual case - something they don't like to do too often by looking at the amount of automated responses from Customer Support.

Finally. This is a great update. Great jo Jagex =D>

Enforcement will be nearly impossible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still, its good that they agree that it's scamming now.

Luring = owned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Half of RSC's PK gallery posts = owned.

Well done Jagex for adding this to list of scams :D =D>

it is a good thing..... and a bad thing also....!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for those wanna-be-mods, there is a new excuse for them to press the report abuse button.

 

 

 

eg:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lets meet in edge

 

 

 

*reported for luring*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

omg you noob, i will pk you in wild

 

 

 

*report for rule 2*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

casting lunar on friends

 

 

 

*reported by a passing by wanna-be-mod*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

just my thoughts... :?

Finally. :)

Enforcement will be nearly impossible.

Not much more left to say. :)

There is no doubt that this is a good thing, but I don't think that it will have much of a change to the majority of lurers.

Death to luring! :XD:

=D> The best update in a while.

Good job by jagex.

Moved this to General, as it affects everyone not just P2P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good job Jagex :thumbsup:

A long-overdue decision, a triumph of decent people over scumbags, and vindication for those of us who have spent many hours over the last few weeks fighting for this change.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

~q

finally :pray:

Good job Jagex, but I'll be avoiding the forums for the next week... :?

I'm happy about the change, but it can still be done as long as your clever and don't use false pretences. By not being specific, a lurer could still do this within the rules but i doubt most of them will actualy take alll that effort.

Now let's see if RuneScape has become a second UO, if so, the rant forum will be swarming with rants about this in less then a day. *Sigh*

for once I love Jagex

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

W00T@!

RSC just got owned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lmao tiem to flame all lure galleries. :twisted:

Still, the rule is not perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Say, I make a thread saying "Buying blue partyhat at wilderness, for 1B!"

 

 

 

I get a seller, who makes sure this is not a lure, brining his friend along with him, who happens to be a Jagex Moderator, and who will ban me if I turn out to be a lurer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, i cannot "lure" him. I trade 1B for his blue partyhat. DONE. The deal is done. From that moment on, I can kill him, I did what i promised to do, and from that moment on, he is just another player in the wilderness, while I am just another PK'er in the wilderness, being allowed to kill him with no fear of getting banned because of rule number 2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think you get the point now: If I trade him in the wilderness, then therefore, I can kill him and get the loot, while not getting banned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's just not allowed to kill him or her BEFORE the trade is done.

There are alot of rants about this. With luring now punishable, and people ADMITTING IT ON THE RUNESCAPE FORUMS WITH JMODS WATCHING AND POSTING! LMAO!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah. Pretty hilarious if you ask me. In my opinion, this is the BEST UPDATEthey have ever done in the past few months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kudos to them. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
