Kejixu Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I have this really good friend that is a real estate agent in real life that works at home. He is soo filthy rich. Getting hooked on Runescape, he looked on to me as a guide to his unfamiliar surroundings. What I got in return was an all paid expense trip to membership :P. However, 50 combat levels in one day from him were relatively surprising to me. This is how a harmless game, is maybe turning into an obsessive addiction for my friend. Hooked would be an understatement. Pretty soon, me and him would kind of get competitive in stats and gp. He got the hang of merchanting pretty quickly yet so naive of the big picture, like he only would sell white knights armory :shock: which wouldn't produce as much as a profit as some of the other items in the game. On one faithful day, after he saw the power of maging... my friend turned to the dark side. Money didn't seem to matter much when it came to gaming. Since he was so wealthy in real life, he gazed upon the idea real world trading thinking it was no big deal. My friend assumed that a lot of people were doing this; gullible enough to believe the website claiming that Jagex didn't mind. No matter how much I warned him about getting banned, he just would not yield. Just a couple days ago he spent of 600 USD and bought 100 mil. With that much gp, he bought full infinity, full dragon, 10 mil worth of runes and with much gold to spare. I feel the hungry little monster inside of him, wanting to buy more and more gold; increasing his chances of him getting a permanent vacation from Runescape. I want prevent the thing that provocation him, but yet, I want to take a step back and observe. I can't help getting a tinge jealousy. A small part of me wants to do the right thing; the urge to click the report button. I'll be adding on to this as time goes along...I just really need your opinions on what to do. ---------- I have reported him..he is mad..very mad since he has recieved a 2 day ban.

nvw08 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 But it's better now that he gets banned when he spends $5000 real money on 5 blue p hats and gets banned :shame: Droolman's item Guide | My RuneScape pictures | My barrows videos, with download link!Free Image Hosting! | Free File Hosting!

Kejixu Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 But he is doing something wrong that is making the gameplay unfair for other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvw08 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 ^^ Exactly, I found this really intresting, what RS does to some people, I mean most people would never consider Cheating like that, and spending that much money on pixels, that you don't even own. I think it's dangerous for him to keep playing, because he will eventually want more and more untill he gets banned, and will hve spent thousands on RS money and items.

icedragon444 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Reporting him would be more for his own good. If it goes on for too long and he gets banned, he'll have wasted all that money. The sooner, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotamatias Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Wow, that's rough. report him, it's anonymous, and trading rl items for rs gp against the rules, he'll think that JAGex just cought him at it and cry for a week and get on with it #-o I think the more important thing is that the guy seriously steeps back and lets his RL sit in the drivers seat putting RS back were it belongs, the back seat. No one should ever spend real money on RuneScape. Jagex not only created the rule for the people to have an equal chance at getting rich. They created it because they knew the dangers. They may get hooked end up spending hundreds, maybe he will spend thousands. You need to get him to stop spending money on RS gp at all costs.

Friends are friends, you never rat them out. Dont be a snitch, that will haunt you more knowing that you were the reason why he was caught. He will get caught soon enough.

Bludragon124 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 hmmmm... i dont know... it is more fun to make the money yourself, and you get a nice, satisfied feeling. but it seems to me this guy is just ravenous for more and more and more. try and explain to him nicely that if he doesnt stop doing this soon, he gonna be in big trouble with jagex.

remoteman Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 i wouldn't report him, but tell him the dangers of buying rs gp, and show him the amount of cash in rl he has spent, compare it to something else he could have bought. get him to take a weeks break, and make him realise that as soon as he stops playing the game he will realise what an idiot he was for spending $600. if he spends anymore money i would seriously consider reporting him, regardless of what others think, friends are there to help, your not a friend for letting him waste thousands of his hard earned money, it would be for his own good.

Riktar Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I think reporting him would be being a pretty bad friend... I mean, I know it's for his own good, but this is pretty extreme. If you report him, he'll just get banned and will have spent 600 USD for nothing. If you manage to convince him to stop buying RS items, though, he won't lose his 600 USD and keep his stuff in RS... But I guess that won't be easy by the looks of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyehawk78 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Whatever happens he'll come to learn a few life lesson 1: He gets banned and realises how stupid he was for breaking the rules. Rules are there for a reason. 2: He wastes all his money on a computer game and realises how stupid he was.

azielgoh Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'm not sure because i would NEVER report one of my friends. But if you ban him, he'll learn to enjoy IRL and stuff so yeah... NOT GIVING AWAY NEW ACCOUNT NAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakkun Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 If you can find one incident where he says what he did, report without hesitation. Friends don't let friends spend that much to cheat on a game, if he gets banned, he'll be better off. I don't care if people say I'm a heartless jerk, but I have never hesitated to report, and I never will. Heck, I even muted a few friends for breaking the rules. Anyways, he'll get caught and banned eventually, so if you don't catch him now, he'll spend a LOT more on RS, then get caught and banned, and be much worse off. The Zebera is getting faster!

i123i Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 your friend got ripped, mills sell for 3-3.50 on some communities I've been in rofl. Though like some have said, you should've reported him but I mean he will be caught easy. Someone getting 100 mill via a direct trade, drop trade, duel win, or in a pk is immediatly flagged by Jagex. Don't worry, soon he'll be banned for somehow stumbling upon that money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugafan_2009 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Sheesh, I'm wondering if I can afford a PS3 and some people blow this money breaking the rules on a game. #-o I would warn him that he's becoming a little too addicted to the game and he needs to take a step back. I mean, I personally no-lifed the game for a month or so after I got members and probably wouldn't have stopped if my dad hadn't let me know how much time I was wasting on the game. Do whatever you can do to make it stop. And DON'T REPORT HIM! Quit RS, combat 104, total 1651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilrodyle Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 tell him to buy more money and tell him about this great guy"lord rodyle0" and that he should donate a lot of his rs gp to him :thumbsup: Dagannoth Slayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffman Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 never report him, say one of your freinds is dealing drugs, do you go straight to the police? then not only does he lose what he has, but hes locked a way for awhile, and when he gets out he has nothing. its quite similar i think. don't even bother trying to point out that rs is a game, lamest comeback you can have, usually what stupid people say when they don't have anything smart to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
