Buying From A Macroer / Autoer?

[highlanders]

Since I paid in gp for them theres nothing that I'm doing wrong.

 

Lol?

 

 

 

In all cases, it doesn't matter. If it's not you that buys it, it's someone else, they will always find sellers.

[Draaan]

Never have I done, and never I shall. Its like, the black market of RuneScape. :shock:

[jemathonical]

I think I have in the past. In some cases the macroers help Runescape players. If I wanted 99 FM I could just go off and buy 50k yews from an autoer for 250ea. And I think most of you would too.

[n64jive]

Never ever... I refuse to sell to them either, in the case of the auto-typers on world 2.

 

 

 

They offer horrible deals anyway :twisted:

 

But, the same ones stand there and spam away their prices, I once found the same auto there, from a week before.

 

 

 

+1 , someone

 

 

 

autoer:buying chins 600 ea/rune arrows 350/etc.

 

 

 

person #1:buying chins 550 ea!

 

 

 

swagger_g:sells to person #1 8-)

 

 

 

thats a realy sotry tbh. i pmed dusty i was gonna sell to autoer hes liek noo!....so even if they were givin me better deal...NO WAI.

 

 

 

How do you know person 1 isn't an autoer. They could take the program, set it at 15s intervals, put in random message where a certain word is spelt wrong, and go right along.

 

 

 

Many people who autotype are actually mostly legit players. The reason I know this is because I have a few friends who use an auto-typer(i don't personally, but oh is it tempting) and everything else they do in the game is legit. They just auto when they get a rare drop, or they need to buy supplies...None of them merchant. They just don't feel like spending hours typing the same thing over again, and who can blame them. Jagex should have added an up button like in IRC, or some command that put's what you just typed. Sure, people would spam using this method, but just only allow so many lines per 5 seconds or something. And if you spam, you will be logged out, unless you're in combat. repeated offenses could end up in a ban.

[m4tty]

if you are a level 50 with no skills above 30 and like standing around for hours refusing to buy off autoers is ok but if you want to actually train id rather buy off autoers to save time and money

[ReapMe]

I don't mind buying from them. Makes my life easier to take a few mins to buy from one person rather than take 30 min to an hour to buy all of something in bulk.

[PastyGangsta]

I did a few times... I bought 50k oak logs off of one once for like 12ea! :shock: Greatest deal I ever made...I just need money to make them into planks now for my POH. Ill be playing for years... :roll:

uhhh pasty? oak logs are 5-10 gp ea. and they cut really fast, in fact they are the best logs to train on until about 65 wc, because they chop so fast. if my parents didn't interrupt me, i could bank about 7k or more in one day. if you had spent about a week r 2 chopping you could've saved 600k...

[Latinoking]

Yes I know I'm a noob but I really needed Iron Ores.....too bad honest players logged in after I already made the trade.

 

 

 

Last week, I bought 10k pure ess for 80ea :shock: from a lvl 62 so I dunno honest player or sweatshop from the pits player.

[wild_goat_14]

I don't it against my moral i hate macro they ruined the economy and the game.

 

 

 

Heck i don't even sell to people with auto typers.

 

 

 

They are dumb and need aprogram to type for them how lazy are those noobs

 

Line 1: For the people who must wc for money they ruined it, but for buyer the produced more of the product meaning more supply, less demand, lower prices for me.

 

 

 

Lines 2&3:I agree.

Or he could buy those, RC nats everyday, 3 hours a day for a 2 weeks and make his 600k back, and make AT THE LEAST 8.4mil.

 

 

 

For the sake of my sanity, please stop the "saving money" crap. Time is money, and he save time so he can make more money in what tme he saved.

 

 

 

In short, Shut the hell up.

I hate how the Chinamen Farmers are raising the prices of oak planks on the RS forums. Tons of lvl 3's selling 50k+ but won't sell for less than 420 each. They bump their topics 100+ times with broken english, so annoying.

They are just trying to make a living, don't blame the workers, blame thier bosses.

 

 

 

I doubt they give a damn that some first world country kid is complaining about them trying to help their family survive.

[Moonshadow]

If I can really tell someone is a macroer, I might not buy from them. Although if the deal is good enough, it is a bit too hard to refuse :oops:.

When I need raw materials and otherwise, I don't care who I'm buying from. I bought every raw sharks for 99 cooking for a level 3 in w2. So? I got them and got everything done. On the topic of auto-typers, Jagex really doesn't have a problem with them. They have stated in their mod-only report terms (what mods should, and should not report for), that anyone spamming non-jibberish is not to be reported. So for example -

 

 

 

Player 1: Selling Sharks 1kea ~Player 1~

 

Player 1: Selling Sharks 1kea ~Player 1~

 

Player 1: Selling Sharks 1kea ~Player 1~

 

...etc...

 

 

 

That is not reportable, according to Jagex. On the other hand, if the player is spamming jibberish, such as -

 

 

 

Player 2: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

Player 2: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

Player 2: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

...etc...

 

 

 

That is reportable, and in most cases, mutable under the right circumstances.

 

 

 

So I have nothing against auto typers. And if you have a problem with people auto typing to speed things up, each to their own. Also, I will buy my materials from who I want. I don't care if they are an autoer.

 

 

 

 

 

Just my $.02 :)

[spikerkid]

I don't buy my raw goods. If I want 99 fming i'll get 99 wcing along the way.

[TheEvilGizm0]

Sometimes I notice that they migt be an autoer / gold farmer when I meet them to do the deal. I just buy and report them afterwards 8-)

[doomy]

It's suspicious buying from nonhigh ranked people with like 600k lobs, but i dont care, stuff, and usually kinda cheap stuff, ftw!

[SirHartlar]

I am not going to spend hours trying to find out whether they are autoers or not, if they are they will get banned for it. I report plenty of them as it is but when they transfer stuff to their mains it is much more difficult to sipher through legitimate players and ones who are trying to sell you their ill-gained wares.

[Star_Fox]

i buy a lot of deaths from them for a real cheap price. i could careless if they sell gold online, goldfarmers have to live ya know? :-w

[Tsar]

Lets say you get into a situation like this:

 

You're standing in front of world 2, falador east bank. You have a goal of obtaining a high crafting level. You have a 15M budget to spend on green dragonhides, with which you can buy 10k of them for the price of 1500gp each. You've been standing here for well over 30 minutes, with no luck. You see a dozen players around you eagerly trying to sell you small amounts of dragonhides for 1600gp each, which you refuse. Then, out of the blue, you see a level 3, with a random jibberish name. He's advertising: "selling green hides 1500ea". Now, halt for a second. =;

 

 

 

What do you do?

 

 

 

Choice 1:

 

You try to trade the level 3 in hopes of others not seeing the message and see how many hides he has. Yay, he puts up 10k green hides. You thank your good reflexes and offer 15m to him, which he accepts. Trade done and you can move on with your crafting goal.

 

 

 

Choice 2:

 

You stay put, knowing your exceptionally good karma will force you to not trade him/her. You then see the "Other player is busy at the moment" message and spend the next 2 hours on the market, still trying to buy those damn hides.

 

 

 

As for me, I've picked Choice 1 almost always. Better be time-and-cost-efficient than spend a ton more and get less bang for your buck. "Morally", it's wrong to buy from cheaters though, but I honestly think no one would turn down a great deal that saves him/her money and time. :wink:

 

 

 

From 85-94 crafting, bought green and blue hides from autoers. Saved a total of 8 million from the reduced price that autoers sold. I know I'm happy with what I did, even if it was "morally wrong". :ohnoes:

[tintin113]

I don't think that I have ever bought anything of a maroer, but if they are selling alot of something for cheap prices, then I would find it hard to resist. I normally don't even look at who I am selling it to though lol, as long as they pay the money, or supply the goods, I don't normally check where it comes from.

[Norton3000]

I once bought 1k oak planks from a macroer. Its hard to find someone who isn't autoer if you want to buy planks.

[The Observer]

It's hard to tell if your buying from a macro or not. cause usually they give all the stuff to their main which sells it.

 

 

 

+1

 

 

 

You never know.

[Jabuli]

I bought my 210k oak planks and 197k gold ores from potential macroers :|.

[Scars]

If you don't buy, someone else will. Boycotting isn't really going to help, because you might end wasting a lot of time trying to buy from a 'legit' player & there's also no way of telling that they've also obtained the materials from an autoer/macroer or not.
