chad8710 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Allright i have been thinking about this for about one month now and this is my idea......... Allright, since most scams are people switching out money for a lower amount hopeing the buyer doesnt notice. We allready have the second window and checking it but we need more and a good idea for this is my idea. It is another window that pops up when the person changes the amount of money they have in the trade box. Yes, Yes it might slow down the trade for what a good 5 seconds while the buyer checks what the seller is trying to do but seriously it is worth it. I personally think this is a great idea to stop the scamming people do because some people can switch out that money so fast you barely even notice.........Tell me what you think good or bad and possibly a way to improve the idea.

sheepdean Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 or maybe they could learn to read the next post... no silly me, that would involve using a couple of brain cells Back by popular demand!And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade, that you aree the reason, that I am not afraid, and I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall, that we will be together soon if we will be anything at all.

chad8710 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 ya i know they could read second screen but i dont think that is enough people react very quickly if they think they are getting a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj926 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 That would cause lag. I don't want lag. End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepdean Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 surely if they are gettin a good deal, they wont care about a small screen saying "you are about to get svammed because he just took away 100mil" Back by popular demand!And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade, that you aree the reason, that I am not afraid, and I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall, that we will be together soon if we will be anything at all.

Dalcyte Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 wrong forum? And this would produce lag, but sometimes u get excited at a good deal and switch over...happened to my friend. Oh well, i think what we have is good, and jagex keeps giving us these dandy reminders on the login screen. :o Click for mah Blog!- I'm not sure why you would though because i never update it Achieved 99 Thieving 3/10/07-992nd to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothic_Hell Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 :roll: sheepdean ... thats why Jagex introduced the 2nd screen into the trade!!! If people are stupid enought NOT to look at the 2nd screen before pressing Accept than ints their fault and scammers are not entirely to blame. So lets shift some blame from scammers onto the people that dont bother to read the 2nd screen. After all scammers are out there for the sole purpose to catch you out NOT reading the screen! Thats why they were born and ivolved. So slow down you daft aipoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satenza Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I personaly think there should be a list of the last people you traded with. Say about 10 people or so. Which would allow you to report there names to Jagex. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhp_4_lyfe Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 stay on 2nd trade screen for awhile, go make a cup of coffee/tea if u hve to lol :shock: Nighthawkpro(level-126) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Ollie Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 The 2nd trade screen solves all problems, if you read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2g2003 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Want a better idea? Don't let players take items off of trade screen. Could you get any more stupid? Please tell me you were joking . . . The question could be turned right back around on you really... Because from my point of view, KingofLodis, you're the one being stupid. His idea makes a lot of sense. Why? Because if they can't remove items in the trade screen... they would have to cancel the trade. Therefore the only way someone could scam would be so painfully obvious that you would almost have to be a fool to fall for it. Then again... we have plenty of fools roaming about right now that would probably still get scammed. It still was a good idea. R.I.P Shiva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprz Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I personaly think there should be a list of the last people you traded with. Say about 10 people or so. Which would allow you to report there names to Jagex. That sounds like a good idea like have a new button on the side that shows the last active trades you had with other players for like within the past 10 min or so. I do not like the third window idea becuase it is the same as the second window idea and I feel thay people who do fall for that scam just continue to hit accept until the trade is completed without reading becuase they are in a ruch. It would be a waste of memory space. Plus also what if they change it a whole bunch of times?! Wouldn't that be a bunch of windows telling you the changes? You would never get outa that trade and it would be very annoying. Maybe later you will come up with a better idea. ~Aprzepioski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad8710 Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Nice feedback i see what you mean with the lagg and extra screens poping up everywhere but if the people could just offer the right amount of money the first time it wouldnt be any trouble. This was just an idea to take into consideration. I didnt want to get flamed about my idea but I guess thats how it works, if someone thinks something will slow down thier computer....... Hey you could even have a button to turn a 3rd window on and off, I know i would like to have that in world 2 sometimes. Also haveing a list on the side that shows the names of the last people you traded with would be a good idea. I'm still curious to see what people have to say, so tell me!

mario_sunny Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Personally, I don't think we need something like that. I believe half the blame falls on not the scammer, but the person who didn't check the second trade screen. Anyone who got scammed like that obviously didn't check the second screen. It is clearly written out what the item(s) are. By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
