Packer15 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Everybodies seen them the level threes sitting in a bank repeatedly saying free gem cutting. You know that they probably are a scammer but theres no way to prove that, because now the minimum crafting level required to get on high scores is a few thousand xp above 43. Sure they dont get very many people but the solution is so simple that its worth it. Why not just have your crafting level show up on high score no matter what it is. That way if you come up and ask them to cut ruby and they have 1 crafting you know they're a scammer and you can report them. I know theres some faults in this idea and I'm not going to mention them for obvious reasons. So please tell me what you think good or bad and any ideas you have to improve this idea would be much appreciated. Edit- it would only come up if you have like 2 or maybe 3 crafting so it doesnt have to account for everybody- Mouseydudes idea.

no_way2go Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Actually I never saw a level 3 saying that ingame.... sounds like a terrible way to earn money :wall: - Back to casual f2p scaping due to limited time (university and girlfriend ) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ember3579 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Yeah, this can be a good idea. In all honesty, this should have been done for ALL skills from the start! :evil: But, hey, what can you do? 7/10, would get a 10/10 if you elaborated more on it.

Packer15 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Thanks for the posts guys, and no_way2go I see your point it isnt very common and it hardly ever works but the solution is so easy you might as well do it. And as to what ember said I know this isnt very elaborate if anybody has any ideas on how to elaborate it a little please tell me. :D "Nothing in life is permanent, not even our troubles."-Charlie Chaplin.

no_way2go Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 So getting higscore stats for every runescape account? I think Jagex will have to buy new servers for that lol. Maybe a right-click on someone to view his skills (or a magic spell) would be better and more fun :) - Back to casual f2p scaping due to limited time (university and girlfriend ) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Actually I never saw a level 3 saying that ingame.... sounds like a terrible way to earn money :wall: yeah, even if you lose your gems, its not the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie_Ya Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 No support. Simply have a high level on your friends list do it if you can't... Why give it to some random person? Besides, Gem prices are at an all time Loooww (exsept Dimands... You damn overpriced son of a) And you can't have all your skills appear in the high scores, Jagex is running 1 million now, any more will cause problems in the system.. But you must be thinking Only crafting? Well they can't do it for a specific skill. They would have to do it for all of them. Unless they did it thisway. X skill is over 30, you are on the high scores. Since your up there, all other stats are shown... It would be one hell of a time getting this to happen but it would be awefully pointless... Crafting scams... Rune scams... Hmm what other scams could be stopped? English is my third language, but I am still trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbyfighter Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I dont support :? I think you just need to cut your own gems yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThruItAll Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Usually this isn't a scam, to be safe, just trade cuts for uncuts. People just stand there in banks for crafting experience. I don't see why anyone would want to scam 2000 gold at the most.... danke Schon Sam!^^"Blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves you know"-Carl Barât Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugafan_2009 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Why do you even want them cut if you don't have the craft level to make jewelry? :wall: Quit RS, combat 104, total 1651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packer15 Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 I think you guys are all thinking about this from the wrong point of view. The view of a level lets say 40 or above someone who has a basic understanding of how runescape works. You got to look at this as how a lower level thinks. When you first started I bet most of you thought that 1k was a big deal. Enough to make you quit if you lost it, and I bet you thought that if you got a gem cut it would be worth more, just examine one. And as for the people who do the scamming yes they're not experienced people who scam for a living, they're just low levels hoping to make a quick buck they have no idea its a horrible plan. Sure you just not have your gems cut by a stranger, but you also shouldn't beg, try to get your armor trimmed, not check the second trade screen etc, etc... but people still do that and you will never be able to convince them not to.

tastywheat1 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Are you serious? If you see someone saying "free gem cutting" and you dont trust them.... then DON'T TRADE THEM.....

Frankie_Ya Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I bet most of you thought that 1k was a big deal. Enough to make you quit if you lost it, and I bet you thought that if you got a gem cut it would be worth more, just examine one. I joined durring RSC where the community was friendly, so I really didn't worry about loosing 1k. If I lost 1k I could ask a random level 50 or higher on the street for a ruby or 1k and I would get it. I was about level 70 when RS2 came out, and by then I learned how to get money. But I would never think 1k was somuch to make me quit. Maybe 100k if Iwas young, but umm... English is my third language, but I am still trying.

schmuall Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I got scammed out of 2 diamonds this way (before I knew where the "report abuse" button was #-o ). And it inspired me the increase my crafting until I was able to cut everything myself!!! BTW if anyone does want something cut, I trade cuts for uncuts and always have at least 30 of every gem at any one time so just add me! give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseydude Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Ok the minimum lvl would have to be 2, because there are 10's of millions of characters, and half of them are unused chars, THIS IS A SIG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpgGamer Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 you have any idea how huge the highscores would be after all those scammers?
