Fuzzy Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I think i've got a great suggestion to reduce the number of scams everybody knows that you're supposed to read the confirmation window, but after you've been standing there trying to get a buyer for half an hour, once you get a buyer you want to just breeze through the whole thing. As a result you miss the confirmation window and you get scammed sometimes. I say that Jagex should put a countdown timer on the window and hide the buttosn for 5 secs or something to make you slow down and read the thing. I think it would be really helpful to the people who constantly get scammed. And since i'm not a member, I can't really make a suggestion so if a member reads this could you please make the suggestion for me? thx pwned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwreeTak Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 This is one of the best suggestions I have ever seen! I really hope this goes through. I have been scammed on this second-window-fast-away thing sometimes, so this surerly will prevent alot of people from being scammed!

Giordano Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I dont want to wait because people are dumb enough not to check the 2nd trade screen.

Evil_Sabre Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I dont want to wait because people are dumb enough not to check the 2nd trade screen. agreed, instead if making jagex make a new update for the people who refuse to check the screen and blame jagex, why dont you use a little thing i like to call common sense?

TimeStopper Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well it's good, but it's probably a better idea to force the removal of an item to be 2 seconds or so and apparent.

Brinner Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 not a bad idea it will give people time to read the other stuff instead of just clicking through.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After waiting for that long, it's very natural for people to be like "yes! i got it i'm finally gonna get [insert item here]" and they get so excited and they start clicking through the thing. and thanks a lot shane for suggesting it:):) pwned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jemathonical Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I dont want to wait because people are dumb enough not to check the 2nd trade screen. I have a little story- I'm in world one trying to sell 10k airs and one guy trades me a zammy skirt for 10ks airs. We both accepted and it was a fair trade. I didn't want the skirt so i decide to sell it. I get a trade from one player and he offers 500k. we both click accept and then he clicks decline. We trade again and again and the same thing happens. Then i trade him and and he puts up 400k for the skirt and clicks accept on both screens After waiting half an hour trying to and sell the skirt i thought 'fianlly' and click accept without thinkng. Turns out he only put up 40k and 12 swordfish. Some people are eager to get a trade because of scammers who always decline and this gets annoying. Overall, I think it is a great idea to stop scammers. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justj2 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 ive just read this whole thing again (oh god i must be bored) and it occured to me, what if someone joined runescape today with the new system in place then tried to trade somethin but didnt understand you ad to wait for the trade?..... just a thought maybe add trading into the tutorial at the very beginning MMORPG - Many Men Online Role Playing Girls - LOL, but how true?Oh and none of the people you see online saying "looking for bf" are girls.
