id scam ur 10m

Nobody's heard of deathmatches?

 

 

 

Good point, the 2 people could just have their rules and show their inventories with whatever they are able to use and the cash and skull then kill. Simple as pie.

 

except for ppl using dragon imps to bank the expensive items in their inventory first.

G'luck with that...

 

With runescape full of dishonourable and cheating pathetic players, something like that wouldn't be very practical.

No, I don't think this would work. The most of the middlepersons would just be scammers, and take the stakes.

Did you mean imp boxes? I'm pretty sure that dragon imps don't bank items.

both of those are equally risky, but the first is less risky. Either the loser dosn't pay up or the middle person runs away with double the cash....which would you prefeer.

Well, after hearing arguments from various sources, I'm still inclined to agree that honor stakes could become common.

 

 

 

Before the dueling update, a losing opponent could click "x" and have a high chance of not losing their item. With "honor" stakes, there's nothing from preventing the losing player from refusing to give the items, which is just as easy as x-ing out. If a player who is about to lose 50m is honorable enough to not click the "x" button, (s)he should be honorable enough to trade over the "stakes" after the duel.

You know why this might work? Not because it's a foolproof way to stake, but because people WOULD get scammed every so often and complain to Jagex. And they seem to have a heavy anti-scamming theme with their recent updates, so they might reinstate the dueling cap so that people have an unfeeling third party- the game code- to act as a middleman, thus preventing scamming.

 

 

 

This is just a random theory, so it might be totally wrong, but it's something to consider. Any thoughts on this?

Very different. Plus, you have to be in the wilderness. Suppoed you have a 10m deathmatch going on and some lucky PKer just happens to stroll by. He nails you when you are very lo won HP and supplies, and boom... an easy 20m.

 

 

 

This could be a solution to everyone's problems. In game mods and/or TIF staff and admins could be the middleman. Aside from that, you'll just have to go on pure trust. I mean whats the owrst that could happen? You win the duel and the guy refuses to pay? Yeah, you wasted your time and it's a bit frustrating... but you don't lose anything so you can't be TOO upset over it.

Jagex, GJ, you're pumping out a crap load of crap so now players have to almost scam each other to enjoy staking again. GJ Jagex, GJ. =D> (sarcasm btw).

Forgot to add something. Unless you are 100% sure the middleman is trustworthy, this wouldnt work at all. I've got some oooold RS friends. I'm no scammer, nor am I dishonest. But if two people were having a 50m stake and they both gave it to me (even good RS friends)... I must admit I myself would even be a little tempted :anxious: .

 

 

 

I still think the idea of trusting the other person to trade is the best idea. If you win and they dont trade, who cares. You didnt lose anything except a couple minutes of your time. If you win and they pay, then woohoo!

It seems that other people are picking up on this idea as well. On the RSOF, there's already a few people offering "trust staking" services.

 

 

 

I'll have to admit, if someone gave me 50m to hold on to, I'd be tempted as well, although I'd never scam.
