Hoopster211 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 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 [/bads] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshwacka Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 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. 99 Crafting Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby1167 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 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.

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? [/bads] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopster211 Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 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 [/bads] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaciansupe Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlin85 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 If I came upon that on the forums, I'd consider it item scamming.. 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario_sunny Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 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. 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 :( .
