ganon95 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 i dont like noobs who switch options a split second before the second screen but its not scamming so i cant report them...or can i? lets take a look at this common trick situation: you challenge soeone to a 5m duel...whips only...you check out everything and its good, you hit accept, double check the second screen, nothing looks out of place, the duel starts, 3....2....1...but whats this? your opponent puts on a torags plate :shock: you hit constant 0's and he hits constantly on you, there goes 5m :cry: you go to report him and think "is this really a scam?" -scamming is tricking other players by deception or sneakyness, which is what happened here, but under the report abuse section it says "item scamming", did he switch the item? no. just the options so it cant really be considered a scam that way -was he decieving you? yes, but again he wasnt switching an item, just an option discuss how you feel about this *off topic: this ad came up and made me laugh, take a look * http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=615955click link to go to ganon95 productionsrunescape requires a lot of skills, napoleon dynamyte would love this game i am the proud owner of the quest point cape; all quests done 12/04/06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblade986 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yes. It is absolutely scamming if you switch options so that you have an unfair advantage. There have even been cases of people being banned for switching armor before the match starts (like wearing full ranger gear, then switching to mage gear to throw a warrior off). don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbagad Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 im not sure,i think it is, but a good way to prevent this is both people hold full invent of something worthless, such as ashes, and trade each other to show thats all you have. then start the duel straight after without going near the bank.

ganon95 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 the second screen doesnt show what your wearing it just says "some worn items will be taken off" http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=615955click link to go to ganon95 productionsrunescape requires a lot of skills, napoleon dynamyte would love this game i am the proud owner of the quest point cape; all quests done 12/04/06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolgool Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The second screen for dueling doesn't show which armor is allowed. It just says, "some armor cannot be used in this fight," or something along those lines. The code in my sig should say 1032 not 0132. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree with you here, there is a second screen for a reason...but also I think that doing that is wrong... I see it as deceiving.

Chocobodude0 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yeah, it's scamming! He tricked you by switching the options, hopefully your report will go through just fine. If it isn't considered rule breaking, then that's something that Jagex definately needs to change :| .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Legolas8d- Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The report abuse system needs an overhaulin'! Badly. I tried to report a macroer once and it said "for this rule you can only report players who you have spoken to or traded recently." Pretty pathetic, eh?

Ltje Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'd consider this scamming for sure. So just report it. It's up to Jagex how they handle the report. Retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren211 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Its a scam. He scammed you out of 5 mil. Thats an item aint it? And I'd also like to know... is switching ARMOR a scam? Like wearing rune to find a staker then in the duel switch to verac? [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

As for staking i've only boxed or range staked and i really didn't care if someone was ranging and threw on some rune... they still lost lol if ya get scammed its your own fault thats how i look at it.. same with people who lure...

jessy87 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 scam? maybe, but you should be prepared for anything and everything especially if this isnt your first time getting cheated like that... i mean honestly, if your going to do no armor fights and some 1 switches on armor, having armor in your inventory would be a benefit to not having it in your inventory to use so, like a boy scout be prepared.
