So I was bored yesterday, really bored... Reporting macroers got boring after a while... (got 97 total) so then I go onto the forums... boring... so then I decided I'll just make up one of those threads like "Buying blue phat 1gp", just for kicks. So I come up with a rare alching service, where I trade them the alching price (1gp) for the rare upfront. I called it Hoop's Rare Alching Service (36-37-219-28970444). After 19 pages, some idiotic mod who apparently doesn't know the rules, posts saying I'm item scamming?? You can buy things for any item that you want, and the ammount I'm paying is the amount you would normaly receive for high alching the item. How on earth is that scamming? So I go to bed thinking "Whatever, I'm not gettign a strike for this mod's stupidity." I wake up 20 minutes ago, hop on the computer, and find this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wtf? That's not scamming in anyway there is possible! If you wanna see the thread yourself, it's on page 29, and the quick find code is 36-37-219-28970444

how stupid -.-

It kind of just proves they didn't actually look into it

GIve those jagex fools hell, I bet they're still using the auto software that banned me a year ago #-o

^^ Exactly

You're price manipulating rares, it isn't allowed, even if it is the price you get for high alching it. Even if its a joke, you still shouldn't price manipulate.

It would be price manipulating if I wasn't actually buying the rares. I was intending to buy the rares for that price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You get a cookie for having a futurama avatar :D

Jagex needs to recruit some people that will actually look into the damn stoof..

 

 

 

I mean, recruiting 10 year olds won't do anything, but at least people that aren't a pin head that only ban people for fun, and don't even bother to know why.

That makes no sense? And no matter how many loopholes you tell yourself, its still price manipulation, and you deserved that warning.

* Pretending to buy or sell when you have no intention of doing either. Pretending to sell to another player to raise/lower the price

 

* Telling others to raise or lower the price of an item. "OMG noob item blah is worth so much more. Sell for this price".

 

* Openly telling everyone to raise/lower a price. "Listen here whip owners, we're going to push the price up to 10 mil join me!".

 

* Saying an item is rare when it is not to increase the price.

 

* Ganging up with other players to raise/lower a price by filling the forum with threads buying/selling for that price.

 

 

 

Which one of those did I do? Hmmmm?

You are allowed to buy/sell any item for any price you wish. If he had the intention of buying items for that price, then there was nothing wrong with it.

Actually, the Forum Specific Rules state that "You are welcome to sell your items at any prices", but they do not mention anything about buying.

Flaming a Player/Buyer/Seller

 

 

 

It is at the discretion of players to sell or buy items for the price they set. It is also at the discretion of players to not buy or sell items for prices previously set.

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure the Code of Conduct overpowers that

omg thats soo stupid!

hehe i pointed out some key things in that pm....

 

 

 

If I came upon that on the forums, I'd consider it item scamming..

Too bad that wouldn't do you anygood, because it's not ^_^

Petty or what.

 

 

 

So now you aren't allowed to buy things. i see that as a travesty. Even if you were trying to get a rare for 200M times less than it is worth, It is not the point.

 

 

 

Thats just Wrong.

 

We Should Rebel.

it isnt , its ur choice if u dont sell it for 1 gp , no1 is forcing you

 

 

 

i think this is a unreasonable warning , shows that jagex needs to pick

 

 

 

smarter mods, probably hard 2 , nowadays :roll:

smarter mods, probably hard 2 , nowadays :roll:

 

The day's of deseption are upon us the only person you can trust is yourself.

 

SOmeone who is after something will do anything to get it.

i got my thread locked as did about 4 other people by a noob idiot mod as i posted a thread with "only" in it -.- yet later that day i see 3 complete spam threads all asking for free stuff not locked fair aint it?

If I had a cookie for everytime this happened, I would have so many that you could place each cookie right beside eachother touching on the ground and it would take up all of runescape.

erm if somebodybuys something for a price logically the perosn is selling it for whatever they want..... :?

 

 

 

Lol, that doesn't even make any sense

 

 

 

Note he says "Your are collecting rares for little to nothing", so hes agreeing with me basically, I am paying for the rare, jsut paying little to nothing (1gp)
