Along with the new item lending update came dramatic price rises and new scamming techniques.

 

 

 

This method of borrowing will reduce the chances of major scamming.

 

 

 

"LENDING AGS 50k/hour" - obviously, too good to be true. He will put up junk, you buy, he moves on to the next buyer.

 

"Lending bgs 100k/hour"- this one is common, but not common. People honestly loan the bgs for 100k/hour but some just sell junk like crazy.

 

 

 

Always make sure the kid your trading with shows the actual item on the trading screen, he could be borrowing it from a friend for all we know.

 

 

 

He may say "Oh, if i don't loan it, report me."

 

-Just because he doesn't loan you the sword after the trade, doesn't mean he is a rule breaker. HE IS A NOOB, and a [bleep].

 

 

 

BORROWED ITEMS CANNOT BE TRADED.

 

 

 

If possible, ask him to loan it first then pay him.

 

 

 

I'm going out on a limb here, usually higher level players are more trustworthy than a low level running around advertising "lending item for x/hour".

 

-If you both disagree on when you will make payment, split it 50-50, half before and half after.

 

-Kids have made good money selling their junk to innocent victims, WATCH OUT.

 

 

 

Try to borrow items from the same person, this builds up trust.

 

 

 

I know these are all common tips, but lots of people don't know these little tidbits.

 

-so keep your flamethrowers on "low" :P

 

 

 

Anyway,

 

Do you think JageX can do anything about this scamming technique? Junk trading will probably always be there, they know that. That is why Mod Dave said that item lending for profit is not against the rules.

 

 

 

The bandos godsword has experienced a huge rise in the past 2 days.

 

- The BGS provides its owners with a good weapon (IMOOOO!!!!!!!!), and an opportunity to make 50k-150k an hour overnight.

 

This could cause a massive rise, above normal speculations. Maybe that's why Wednesday's rsof posts looked so odd.

 

 

 

-Tuesday was around a 400k rise

 

-Wednesday was around a 1.4m rise.

 

- Kids on rsof attempting 35-40m buys, sheep mask+cash, Zgs for bgs trades.

 

Thursday- guess -_-

 

 

 

 

 

When and where will it settle?

 

 

 

Post your opinions.

I don't take lends for money because I don't beleive stuff like that. But i will give my whip and stuff for money lol

Don't think they can do anything about it. And why are you calling everyone kids?

should go to player made guides tbh. this is more like a list of helpful hints.

Scams serve as a reason why people should just buy the items themselves. After all, it's unwise to trust complete strangers with your money.

it is illegal to ask for money in exchange for loaning an item, or so a jmod has said.

Due to recent feedback, I would like to highlight that offering GP for Item Lending in-game is fine, however we do not allow this on the Forums.

 

 

 

How many times am i gonna have to post this quote -.-

i dunno, kids ask me that all the time, why do you call kids kids because i dunno because kids are kids and kids can act like kids when they try to scam other kids and kids can be hurt by scamming kids and then they repent on being a kid and scamming another kid.

 

 

 

^ it is complicated :wall: .

Mod Dave said otherwise, many times mods have contradicted themselves.

 

 

 

When chins were going to crash, a made chins rise by saying they made a mistake.

ROFL!!

 

 

 

YOU THINK YOU MADE PRICES RISE?!!?1 LOL

 

 

 

Im sorry to tell you this, but A J Mod made a post,with a list of all the mistakes with the graphical update, and they listed about the chinning spot being taken away, and how it was a mistake, AND how they were going to fix it within the next update.

 

 

 

So no, you did not make prices rise(LOL IRL), by simply saying it was a mistake.(yes it was a mistake, but who would believe a non-J mod.

[hide=]

Made = mod

I just report the people I see saying "loaning or borrowing item for XXgp" cause it's against the rules. Jagex doesn't allow it so I report it under Item Scamming.

Oi loudmouth, bet you never considered he misstyped it and he meant they as in J-Mod's did ya? Read with your eyes not your mouth next time. Thankyou for posting this here, I believe it is the right section as a lot more people will read about it and learn about this stuff in this forum.

Youll most likely be banned for misusing report abuse.

Yup. It is not illegal.

 

 

 

On-topic, I hope bandos gs stops after it hits 32m+ :|

if you say that not all jagex mods are correct, what makes you think the ones correcting the first are correct? =D>

 

 

 

if it is legal, then that's nice, and there is a use for the 'report for item scamming' option, however, there is still a fallacy there.

Locked - Although warning the community about scams such as these is very nice, people may attempt them which is not as nice so it would be best to lock this.
