Luring

[swampjedi]

I've seen lots of people here defend luring, saying that if you go into the wild you should expect to die. I've always thought that explanation was shortsighted, but couldn't really point to anything that made luring reportable.

 

 

 

Thing is, Jagex says that it's scamming. I sent a query, and here's the answer:

 

 

 

Greetings Swampjedi,

 

 

 

If at anytime you believe that either yourself or another player is being victimised by a scam, then you should use the report abuse button on the game window.

 

 

 

Luring players into a trap to steal their items is in violation of:

 

 

 

Rule 2 - No Item Scamming

 

You must not scam or deceive other players. Lying to other players for your own personal gain is not in the spirit of the game.

 

 

 

Again please submit an abuse report through the game window.

 

 

 

Please always refer to the RuneScape Knowledge Base to find the answer to your queries quicker.

 

 

 

 

So, tip.it - don't support these scammers anymore. Report them. Jagex needs to make this explicit. Anyone who continues to support luring supports scammers, and we all know how long those people last here at tip.it.

 

 

 

Jagex says luring is a scam. Don't do it or support it.

[swordwarior]

i never supported it, i just said you should think to yourself, why is this person wanting to trade in level 5 wild? i just say use common sense and you should be fine.

[swampjedi]

Gosh, of course it's common sense. I'd never argue that it wasn't.

[Bloodveld]

:lol:

 

 

 

Sounds to me like you fell for the picking-up-3-d longs-and-losing-whip tactic.

 

Luring players into a trap to steal their items

They were saying that luring them to the dark wizards or the wine scam was scamming, NOT wildy luring. :lol:

 

 

 

NOTE: I don't lure, or even pk for that matter, but luring sounds like a decent tactic, instead of all this point and clicking.

[Satenza]

I've not supported it. However i feel no sympathy for those that lose things this way. In my opinion luring is not scamming. If someone goes into the wild with their items, they should expect to lose them.

[frizoid]

normal wildy luring is fine, I have a query saying so. Its the luring where you trade with someone near edgeville bank etc and lure them to the wildy thats wrong.

[n64jive]

yes, the CS team has again confused what you are talking about. I don't like lures, and i think they are noob, but having your clan pop up on someone following you is no way a scam, though it is noob and dishonest.

[Biabf]

Luring is:

 

Noobish

 

Desperate

 

Pathetic

 

Stupid

 

Dishonnest

 

 

 

But it is not scaming...

 

CS has mixed you up with luring people into trade scams. Not wildy scams, CS picks the keyword and sends an pretyped messaged to you, it's one of their many ways to cut down the amount of work.

 

 

 

Millions of letters + Two small teams = Stressful work...

[swampjedi]

I mean edgeville trade scams, not "drop 4 d long" scams. I don't go into the wild, so no one has scammed me. I guess I didn't make that clear.

[Sy_Accursed]

Yeh your right, please don't make me bite you though? :roll:

 

 

 

99.999% of people don't like luring... Well to be correct about 85%.

[Eraban]

Luring is:

 

Noobish

 

Desperate

 

Pathetic

 

Stupid

 

Dishonnest

 

 

 

Most of the attributes also fit the players who fall for luring...

 

 

 

To topic:

 

 

 

Trade scams are always reportable if being lured or not.

[trunksrs]

I don't think anyone actually supports lurers, we just refuse to feel sympahty for the idiots that fall for it.

 

 

 

I have used this analogy a few times now, and no one has pointed out any flaws in it so far (if you see any, please do):

 

 

 

Let's say you are walking down a busy street in a big city. Someone walks up to you and offers to sell you something (A paper hat, or possibly a Rolex, whatever you are in to). However, he says instead of trading you here, he would rather go back a dark empty alley to make the transaction. Now, if you would follow him back the ally, would you honestly expect him to not try and mug you? This is pretty much the same thing lurers are doing.

[scougre]

i don't think luring in wild is a reportable thing:?

 

 

 

and if you get lured now , you deserve to die.

[Dazzuh]

Yeah, luring is bad. But it isnt TECHNICALLY against the rules

[Lets_3ekout]

I know which planet i'm on but your planet must really suck, seeing as you can't spell every second word right there must be no education.

 

 

 

anyway, people that lure should get banned, it may or may not be illegal by jagex, but it's definetly walking on the line between illegal and legal.

 

just don't do it, it's for people that can't pk and are too stupid to make their own money.

[Bubsa]

Some Jagex mods say SS is legal

 

Some Jagex mods say Autotyping without Spamming is legal

 

Some Jagex mods say signature selling is illegal

 

Some Jagex mods say POHs are coming

 

 

 

My point? Different mods will tell you different things.

 

I'd rather listen to the community's consensus. They seem to be the ones who know the game most.

[tortilliachp]

If concerned about breaking rules, how about reading bottomn part of a message from jagex?

 

 

 

"The contents of this message are strictly confidential and are intended only for the owner of the account to which it was sent. The contents of this message must not be disclosed to any other person or copies taken. "

 

 

 

 

 

not a flame, just thing about that please?

 

 

 

Anyway, i was stupid enough to lure with a friend once. the money i made feels like blood money. Tricking out of someone for gp ain't what you wanna do. anyone with morals at all would understand that lieing and cheating have no place in runescape, or business at all.

[swampjedi]

Tchip, we're talking in-game rules. I never signed any confidentiality clause, so that's not legally binding.

Lures who lure people with rare sales are a bunch of scum and need to lie to get personal gain off someone else's hardwork. That in my opinion is the lowest of the lowes.

 

 

 

For example the monestry trick or the Oziach thing were they say they are buying rune plates trick is also pathetic. It happens all the time while selling rares and it is getting way out of hand. :x

[jakerules13]

be like me and dont go into the wildy unless you expect to lose everything, ive pked like 5 times lol :) :o

[stealthman8]

Maybe that happend because your a bad pker, most people like to pk and it could be very profitable. Most of the people on tip.it dont support luring, and I think luring is stupid.

[yomom1919]

what is luring?

[stealthman8]

its whenever you get someone to go into the wild without them knowing you are going to kill them. EX: if someone says buying phat meet at oziachs then whenever the seller goes there they kill him/her and take the phat without paying

[DarkDude]

Luring Owns, I lure (h)

 

 

 

It's great fishing xp, don't see what's wrong with it.
