silver24-7 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well I just saw this topic in the ROF weapons board: Quick find code: 38-39-593-45482720 It's some guy selling 3 "hunter bows" for 8.5mill each. People are actually offering over 8mill and all for these thinking that they are dark bows. So I was wodnering, are hunter bows tradeable? Or is he really just selling dark bows and made a mistake when putting "hunter bows" as his title, it's funny though because he secifically put "hunter bows" which makes it look suspicious to me. If they are indeed tradeable and people are getting scammed right now, do you think jagex will fix thisto make those hunter bows untradeable? It sure would be a lot better for some poor guys, especially since it's only been released just today so many people don't know what it supposed to look like, or even what its named ingame. What do you think? Do you think it should be made untradeable, or would you rather quikly grab a few "hunter bows" and go sell them for 5mill+ each ? Not trying to give ideas to bad people but hey, I seriously stopped caring about people getting scammed in such stupid ways a while ago, I can't log in now so if someone would check if this bow is indeed tradeable for me and post it here I'd be grateful :) I'm Finally 99 mage ^^ (and cooking...) :PSilver24-7 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild_goat_14 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yep, its tradable, watch out for the scam, even though most know how it looks. I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.So, what is 1.111... equal to?10/9. Please don't continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianer101 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 There is no weapon called "hunter bow". These are probably just honest players selling dark bows, but calling them hunter bows. EDIT: Turns out that there is a hunter cbow. I have found and reported the post. "If you have nothing constructive to say, don't say anything at all."

sykoknight Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 It is pathetic what people will do to earn a quick buck :roll: But realistically, if someone were to fall for this, it is really his/her own fault. If you are spending any significant amount of money, I sure hope you at least look into the product a slight bit. If someone is willing to spend 8 mill on a new bow, and they don't even take the time to glance over the new post and link to a picture of the bow on the homepage, then it is really their own fault. I have never fallen for a scam in my years of RS, all it takes is simply knowing what you are buying before hand and taking your time. The game is meant to be played for fun, there is no reason to rush through trades or not gain some type of knowledge as to what you are buying. On the other hand, I despise the people that come up with scams like this. It is in no way the intended nature of the game and it only ruins it for others.

silver24-7 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 well its not a literal scam because he said hunter bow its not like he tricked anyone. Well, unless he got his buddies to post the "buying for 8m" posts. someone lower said "whats the bow called?" and then he answered: "dark bow" So yeah... watch out for people trying this. ohw and, it is incredibly stupid to fall for a scam like this, but hey, in RS there are people who run into the wildy thinking they can sell their santa hat for 30mill...

trunksrs Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 While I think it is wrong to use stuff like this to try to scam people, I really don't want it made untradeable. I was a bit annoyed when the leaf spear was made untradeable, just because I like having that option if I ever need it. It's a shame that the scum and the naive (mostly the scum) in this game have to mess up stuff like that. Look, if your mom still drops you off at school, you ain't gangsta, pull up your damn pants!3 down, 7 to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinoking Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 How that heck do you get scam with Hunter Bow? Retarted. (Strong word but needed) Can't they read? I expect someone with over a mil to know the price of a Hunter Bow. (Unless they buy gold) I am Teh_King[My dA][My Last.FM][My Twitter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojann2 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Honestly, the name of the bow is RIGHT ON THE FRONT PAGE. But like someone said earlier, there is people who want to sell rares for lots of money in the wilderness.

primadog Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I don't understand why people believe that scamming is right if your victim is stupid.

Soulthresher Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 If the scam is that obvious and people still fall for it, gratz, you earned the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davydudeman Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Haha, +1. [/uselesspost] Your not cool. Back on topic, kinda sad to see people already scamming, but I guess if they really should read up on what they're buying before they go running blindly into the forums to buy the new toy everyone is talking about.

warren211 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 you gotta be a total idiot to fall for how jagex stated it was a dark bow: not a hunter bow. also, they even had pictures of it. however, that does not excuse the scam itself. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

wild_goat_14 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 They probably assumed people would think: Ooh, big hunter update today! Also there is a new awesome bow worth 8mil! Ooh, 5mil? Thats cheap! I'll buy it! *buys* *tries to use with dragon arrows* Waaaaaaaaaaaa! :( Seems sad, but someone will probably fall for it, and it sucks. I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.So, what is 1.111... equal to?10/9. Please don't continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWilch Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 can we get an update like the leaf blade spear maybe? making it un-tradable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Sabre Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 case in point: anyone who confuses a crossbow for a bow deserves to be scammed and is therefore, a buffoon agreed, if your going to purchase something at that great of value without even knowing what it looks like your an idiot and deserve to be scammed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer205 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 If you're going to make the hunter bow untradeable then do the same with all types of bow, the reason the leaf bladed spear got changed was it looked very similar to a guthans spear, these don't. If you fall for that then you will get no sympathy from me, I don't however condone the scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arambul Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Stop asking for the hunter crossbow to be untradeable. They look nothing alike, and if you fall of this then you are an idiot. How about I go on RSOF and say selling mage bow 5m? Will you want that to be untradeable, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangupall Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 lol yeah! in runescape you gotta be the best and only the best suceed, noobs however don't lol so they they scammed! :P they deserve it :wink: spamming, begging and looting nubs! I rekon it would be cool if the dark bow was untradeable and the only way to get it was to get the slayer level to get it... this would make them so much more special and prevent noobs from even touching it. But yeah its still cool that they are tradeable, makes the game a whole lot more interesting! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Honestly, the name of the bow is RIGHT ON THE FRONT PAGE. But like someone said earlier, there is people who want to sell rares for lots of money in the wilderness. You think everything reads the front page?
