Kill_Hybrid Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Everytime I post on the official boards to make money merchanting, people keep trying to lure m in edge. It's getting really bad, I get like three lurers an hour messaging me. Should luring be against the rules, what does everyone think about this?

Greedom1 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 This was the hot topic and I believe there is already a thread about this. (Edit - here: http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=608661) Luring: part of the game IMHO. ("Luring" being defined as Dagg Kings luring and not trade luring in Edge...) The later is a bit questionable and should be fixed by Jagex. RSN: Greedom1 | QP 248+ | Combat 116 | Total 1920+ | Skills 95 craft, 99 farm, 88 herb, 91 mage, 85 slayer Values? What do they mean?

KingKnight1 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 This was the hot topic and I believe there is already a thread about this. Luring: part of the game IMHO. Your luring skill is now 78, you can now lure rune essence merchants! But I remember I got lured with 500 lobs, the buyer was like level 54 so I didn't worry much.. The I saw an ancient magicks user rush in with ice barrage, lol. I dropped the lobs, died, used my glory I had on me, ran to edge bank for law + air rune and tried to telegrab my lobbies, but when I got there they just picked them up. Ah well...

bored321 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 yeah i have the same problem, whenever i post buying or selling i expect to get lurers its part of the game these days. Thanks Gradeskip93 for my awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemathonical Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 If they say meet them in Edgeville, most likely it will be a lure. Either don't go or don't go near the wild. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celt23 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 If it's getting that bad then Jagex needs to do something about it. It also fits Jagex's definition of scamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy87 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 If they say meet them in Edgeville, most likely it will be a lure. Either don't go or don't go near the wild. doubtful, i never get lured, their maybe a reason why... but anyway. edge camelot and fally are the only places i trade generally. just stay in the bank for your trades. seriously, make up dumb stuff to tell them and you will confuse them so much... tell them your in the bank but your mouse is broken and u cant walk. it wont make any sence at all and they should be stunned by this. because, what the hell? if you can click you can walk.

dragax100 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 to be honest, in my opinion, if your dumb enough to fall for a lure, you deserve it, your best bet is to, firstly, never trade in edgeville, and secondly, keep a look on lure topics, find out their methods so you cant fall for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malo2 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 its sad to see that people still actually think they can lure someone, but sometime you can make an easy 10-20k by telegrabbing the coins they try to lure you with :) to be honest, in my opinion, if your dumb enough to fall for a lure, you deserve it, your best bet is to, firstly, never trade in edgeville, and secondly, keep a look on lure topics, find out their methods so you cant fall for themjust bedause its in edge doesn't neccesarily mean its a lure, pkers there always but pots and food.

I totally agree with dragax100, I think it's your fault if you get lured. If I get an edgeville trade though I always bring teleports, snares, and food just in case. One time I bought a ring of stone for 4.8M from a guy. You barely see buyers for this ring and you don't see them paying that much, but I really wanted it fast and I found a seller. I told him to trade in edgeville but he got really paranoid and said fally east. :-k . Of course, I went there to trade and bought it. Not all trades in edgeville are lures. 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 :( .

drgnslyer_15 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I met a REALLY bad lurer.... I guess he thought i was a moron or something.. A lil while back i post on Official forums to buy the supplies for 90 crafting and this punk said meet in Varrock bar... a random location i must say....So i hop to his server and hit both bars in varrock.. He's nowhere to be found.. So i ask if he's at the one near wildy.. He was sittin in lvl 1 or 2 wildy with a huge stack of coins behind him and atleast 3 mage friends wandering around skulled.. Evidently he thought i was [developmentally delayed]ed or something bc he was like come out here and a trade i told him that i am not stupid and i'm not gonna walk into the wildy and get pked by his friends... He grabbed his coin stack and him and the 3 mages i saw logged.. I mean come on who's stupid enough for fall for that?! People in this game are pathetic... Its really sad what people will do for virtual money RSN: drgnslyer15 15 skills 90+ - 10 skills 99 - 200m+ total exp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimHams Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Just say in your threads "not trading in edge" or what i do which is "come to *wherever i am* and i'll hop world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeBeaun Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 When ever people tell me to meet them in edge, i say right away im not going into wild. 80% of the time i get there any they say "Im right across the brige, hurry up i have to go soon." then when i get there they tell me "Hurry up and come to me im lagging and cant move, i have to go soon". Its sad that this is the best idea these people have come up with. If you are going to be luring, at least be intelligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 If your stupid enough to follow someone into the wild to trade then you cannot complain, it isn't morally right to lure. But it is an aspect of the game, one that is widely looked down upon by others but an aspect nonetheless. Even if it was made illegal it would still happen.

wakka102 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Anybody dumb enough to fall for a lure had it coming. I wouldn't normally say that but I've seen videos of people getting lured and they are just idiotic :wall: . If you want to trade in edge, trade in the bank, otherwise call the deal off. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack12338 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 You guys! Saying you deserve to be scammed if your dumb enough to fall for it, is like saying a kid shouldn't be helped out of a well because he was too dumb to fall in. You guy's theory is flawed. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddfaery2 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have little pity for people who get lured. It's their own fault for agreeing to trade in the wilderness. If the idiots would force their buyer/seller to come to bank, then they wouldn't get lured. Proud to have gotten 1800 skill total before access to fishing guild Why make a house when you can rob one?

Saying you deserve to be scammed if your dumb enough to fall for it, is like saying a kid shouldn't be helped out of a well because he was too dumb to fall in. You guy's theory is flawed. :|someone that falls into a well typically would not know that the well is there. In a lure, you KNOW that the guy is next to the wild and you KNOW well ahead of time. You have plenty of time to add these things up. Someone near the wild + trading = lure. If someone fell into a well, however they knew that the well was there, then they are just being stupid. Helping them out of the well has nothing to do with them falling into it. Just as you might help out one of your friends who get's scammed. But outlawing it will really do nothing as it would sort of be a difficult thing to report. The people are just pking, but in a more deceptive way. If you don't want to lose your valueable's keep it away from the wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisp Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 This one guy has got to be the worst lurer ever. He brought me to varock pub saying he was having a drop party, and he dropped money just inside the wilderness. I had just been telespamming to cammy, and already knew it was a lure, so I did the most logical thing. I wanted the money, so I telegrabbed it. And low and behold, there was 300k. I literally started rofl then, and then I banked my stuff came back, with d hide, and iced the guy who was gonna kill me, then k0ed him. Got about 100 bloods and 200 deaths. rofl Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x_bow80 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Any time i get a lure i bring food and stuff to kill them. Cus they usally only bring 1 or 2 sharks and just runes and stuff to kill you.
