ZenoMoneZ Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I was cooking shrimps to pass the time. I didn't really care too much for them, so I decided to give them to low levels and be nice. I found a level 5 and decided he would do. I offer to trade and he accepts, so I put 169 cooked shrimp up and push accept right away. Out of no where he put's up 600gp. After about 2 seconds, I say 'I'm giving them for free'. Then he declines and says "omg, scammer!" What is this world coming to? :ohnoes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdattack16 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Uhhh.... weird. Reminds me of myself giving out free rune. All who traded got an earth or water rune! People called me a scammer...? On-Topic: Just a new player, I guess. Maybe a bit paranoid? Maybe he thought you were trying to get his "riches". :-w Sig credit goes to ThruItAll. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godsfearme Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I just drop my stuff on the gound now because the same thing happened a few weeks ago to me. Maybe he thought you were trying to get his "riches". Whistle I dont see how some one would think you are stealing his riches, if you are giveing him something free. I am still wondering what riches the level 5 was proctecting. I will shoot down any one with my bitting wit, and sarcasm!What POSSIBLE reason would someone have to make a fake like that?Does he profit from faking a picture like that? Does it help him at all?Jesus Christ, stop being so suspicious. This is Tip.it for God's sake, not RuneHQ. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombieed1 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 He probably couldn't believe that you would possibly give him that many shrimp as it is obviously so expensive and you would lose a lot of money that it just had to be a scam.

Dexek Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Paranoia sets in... Players are currently just adapting to what is around them. Most are surrounded by a large number of scammers and conners, so they have learned not to trust anyone, which is technically something good to live by. Taking it as far as this is just plain irrational and makes you look bad. I myself give away quite a bit, and am yet to be called a scammer. Best to have a pleasant exterior when dealing with the paranoid ones. :roll: PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiral_5 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 why feed the noobs :wall: , theyre like chickens without the ability to lay eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexek Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I feed the newbs, but not the noobs. :) The new players appreciate help, and may some day return the favour. Noobs however just want more.. and more.. and more.. until they explode, taking you down with them. :shock: "If you feed a noob a cookie..."
