    "these turds" "scum of the community" "these idiots" maybe the idiots and turds are the dumb clowns that fall for the lures especially with the thought of "I can anti lure/scam them for their shit" play stupid games win stupid prizes, you seem extremely pressed about scammers/lurers, defo has happened to you because you got greedy.. is what it is I guess but if you fall for any scams or lures you defo deserve it

      Lmao I am covering the lurers/scams and throwing a few jokes in here and there. You can't have sympathy for some younger kids (or more naive players) that get scammed without having been scammed yourself? Horrible logic my guy. You did make me laugh though by how tilted you got over some fairly mild insults.

      If you take that 'if you fall for it you deserve it' logic into the real world I only hope you see why it's wrong. I'll copy your presumption and guess that you are a scammer because you seem so pressed about him condemning scammers and therefore you have no remorse and are probably on the wrong side of the logic I said at the start

    Back in the day there were some rocks near Edgeville that you could walk into, but the game would push your character back out. You could time it to drop something in this spot, but you couldn’t pick anything up from it. When I was 9 I was told it would be a money glitch if I dropped my cashstack there and it would double. They ended up telegrabing it and I cried lol

    I remember there use to be a particular popular lurer on UA-cam when I was younger. He made music montages of things such as his group dark bow spec'ing people after luring them into the wilderness. I thought the videos were cook at the time. But then I actually ended up coming across him by chance in game. Even started up a conversation telling him how I liked his videos... he then proceeding to try and lure me 😅

    I got my bank lured. I don't know what I was thinking. This was back in like 2009 when claws were about 35m, I'm pretty sure I used a credit card to buy some gold. Keep in mind, I was like 10 years old, those claws were everything to me.
    Anyway, it happened in clan wars, If you used to play back then, you know clan wars were common. I got tricked into playing a dangerous clan war, and I was told I was going to be protected by about 5 max levels so I wouldn't die. Skip forward, the other team was also in on it and they just rekt me. Worst times of my childhood

I just said, "I'm glad I could waste your time from luring someone who didn't know how to completely counter you." My god that was satisfying, the item if I remember was an SGS.

    I almost lost my entire bank value when I was a fresh member with 1.5M to my name. I wanted to get an abby whip so badly but the price was 1.9M at the time. I put offers on the forums for 1.5M and someone PMed me saying they would sell. We met north of where GE would be now (no wildy border at the time). A lvl 3 with santa hat was standing behind a tree, of course just inside the wildy. He was obviously stalling, telling me he would buy my air staff for 1M or something. In came a pk'er that barraged me and DDSed. I miraculously escaped with 7 hp. I ran out of wildy and started cursing the lurers when a poison splash *6* hit me. My hp bar was completely red and I panic logged out. I was not sure if I was already dead or not (cause of entirely red hp bar). But I told my older brother about it so he said 'relax, where were you exactly?' and we logged in at the same time same world, I died shortly after the log in and he picked up my stuff and gave it back. Best bro.

    I have only ever been lured once. It was around 06 when I first became a member. My first time looking around the members only area of Karamja. Some guy offered to show me around. Can’t remember exact details, but he took me to some poisonous scorpions. At the time I didn’t even know poison damage was a thing in game and i just assumed they were the same kind of scorpions that were in the Falador mine. I ended up getting poisoned, tried running back to a bank, but couldn’t make it. They chased me down until I died and lost 100k which as a low level f2p up to that point was a lot. Wilderness lures seem very obvious that sometimes you can’t feel too sorry for the person that got lured (lurer is still scum though) but lures using NPC’s in seemingly safe areas are much more difficult for new players to catch.

    To answer why the items kept on death was valued based on the items high alch value was because these were most common before the days since the Grand Exchange came to be. There was no set market value in player to player trades that the game could quantify, everything was traded player to player for whatever they agreed. Store / alch value was the only in-game data point.

    for the zammy wine lure, you used to be able to slam the door. So you could kill significantly higher levels. Not like 120s but like level 80s and 90s. especially if they weren't fully equipped with good combat gear. Also for the ikov lure, they would log in someone underneath with a cat. So this overweight person would click the cat under them when trying to left click their items and that would push them onto the bridge where they'd fall to their doom.

      But luring unsuspecting players for their money is just sad. However i do think its part of Runescape.
      There is something cool about avoiding these traps aswell, just like in real life.
      Now if id compare luring to other 'problems' in the game, such as the black market, i think thats a much bigger problem.
      The amount of unlegit infernal capes is insane, aswell as the amount of bought gold. Takes away to much from the game experience.

    @eXodus_UrbEx Рік тому

    I can give you some answers about the Jojo lures as far as how people fell for them. For example, the guy that thought they dropped 192m cash. You say obviously they didn’t. Keeping in mind the general limited game knowledge of the time - what they would do is show the 192m, drop it, walk under you and quickly alch a rune med, or something similar, drop that in the wild and then run back and pick their 192m back up. They’d also position the coins on specific tiles where telegrab would make you run into the wilderness, such as right behind a tree.
    You also said it was absurd that rares didn’t protect over any other items and that determining what was kept by alch value was absurd. It does make sense though. Pre GE there was no other way to determine what was more valuable, so that’s why alch value was used. When you consider that rares we’re intended to be worthless it makes sense that their alch value was set to 1 or 0.

    Back before the GE was a thing and people stood around Varrock west bank I got scammed for my entire bank's worth in a single simple trade lol.
    I believe at the time they just changed the trade screen to include the second confirmation screen or moved the accept/decline to the bottom, so it flew over my head. Someone said you could duplicate any item, even coins/runes, by turning them into notes in the trade screen with a glitch by spam clicking on a specific letter in a word on the first trade screen. They had me put up everything and accept my side then spam click that spot, which coincidentally was the "accept" prompt on screen 2.
    Lost my full Addy (g) that day, and probably like 120k more. Not a lot now but for a kid around '05 it was devastating lol.

    I used to mine rune way out in the deep wildy on F2P servers back during RS2 as I had grinded up my Smithing to 87 over the course of the 12 years I'd played off and on, but refused to get a membership.
    My combat level was 123 and all my combat stats were all between 97 - 99. I'd typically equip nothing besides my rune pickaxe. Although, I'd always have a teletab, a strength potion, and a rune skim in my inventory, too. Mostly for protection of myself (PKers would try to yoink me for my rune ore, which wasnt a big deal if lost but super annoying because the rocks took forever to spawn).
    More often than not however, I'd be heading back into the lower levels of the Wildy where I could hit my teleport again, and I'd pass some of these jerkwads leading some fresh level 40 account with a full set of rune or something into the deep Wildy, and you could always tell because the predator leading them constantly talked in chat, specifically about what they were on their way to do and how totally awesome it is, etc. (almost like overcompensating for the subconscious anxiety that their target may question their BS).
    Usually, I was high enough of a level that if I used the strength potion, equipped my rune skimmy, and then started attacking them, j could scare the shit out of them unless they were in the upper 90's and above. At the very least, I'd go over and tell the victim that they are being lead into the player versus player zone to be killed and have their stuff taken by those guys and I could give them a teleport or lead them back away from that shit if they wanted. Sometimes worked.

    almost got lured for full bandos way back, the person even got me to the wild ditch, but they offered way too much and dropped the money in the wild behind a rock. which was probably 11k, part of me really wanted to pick it up though.

    I have always been a casual to Runescape and I barely know much about the game. But back in the day I know the wilderness was sort of a risky place but wanted to just go out there and explore, just to see what is out there. I think i stopped at the bandit camp just to grind a few mobs and see what they drop. Within 10-15minutes 3 higher level players who I assume were world jumping popped in and killed me. Then one of them whispered something like "haha loser". I was in full rune gear so it's not like I lost much although I think I barely had money to get a new set. After that I think I never ever stepped in the wilderness again. And one time I should've known, but fell for the money giveaways with fake websites and such, but at least he only took my money 2m and 4k coal.

I even had someone become a friend and gain my trust over the span of weeks to steal a santa. Hopefully I have learned my lesson by now haha. =p

    A lot of the people lured 100% bought their gold. Some of the clips used above also had a Skype component as well to help lure victims. Some of the videos were just kids crying because they lost the $50-$200 dollars a parent gave them. Only to be lured a second or third time by the same group later. One I remember was over a party hat. That particular person was convinced they were the lurer over months.
    For examples look for:
    Socajawa
    Cls product
    Mxs799 (or some variation of that)

    Not gonna lie, years back when I was getting into rs again in general after not playing since 2007, I got lured in the dumbest possible way.
    Guy tells me he'll give me a lot of gold if I give him enough stuff. My dumbass fell for it because he was so convincing. IDR how it went but I remember feeling really confident about what he was saying. NEVER AGAIN. Learned my lesson on that one.
    However in RS3 this guy lava titan lured me because I had no idea it had a wildy teleport. As I stopped playing before summoning.
    Thankfully I was skilled in combat from bossing and what not and got myself to KBD's lair and teleported out but it was a close one.
    Dude even tried to pm me again a few months later after changing their name.

    you don't have to be a evil player, just you can't take this element away from runescape it's what makes runescape the game of life lessons that it is and the buissness world it's a virtual world and we are real people that play you can't change human nature, just don't be a scum bag because there are legit people who Anti lure and good people who out smart the scum bag players, watch Kemp q anti scam videos

    Unpopular opinion: The best thing that can happen to you is to get scammed/lured when you are young BEFORE you get massively rich. That way you are cynical enough that you will never fall for these things AFTER you get massively wealthy. I've been scammed a few times and now I'm cynical enough I always assume everything is a scam first. I don't care how ridiculous it seems. You need 1 gp? Scam.
    The most embarrassing one was one I really should've known better. In rs3. Still learning the EOC combat mechanics. I was in wildy, in multi. I was frozen and couldn't run or tele, so I decided to try to fight back to do as much damage as possible. Basically make them work for the kill. Most of my wealth was in 3 items and I wasn't skulled, so I wasn't too worried. Then some random dude just said "Use hurricane". And I didn't know much about the abilities yet, so like an absolute idiot I go ahead and click hurricane.
    Instantly skulled on the friend and then spec'ed out. Lost... so much.
    I ALWAYS think about that now whenever in the wildy, whether RS3 or OSRS. I want to kill the crazy archaeologist? I KNOW to use blitz spells and not barrage, because wouldn't want to accidentally skull on some random dude who just world hops in.

Being naive when i was younger and getting scammed set me up to basically not trust stuff thats usually too good to be true

Basically you get a friend in ghost robes to follow you into a fight against someone using eoc and you hope they fight back and use any of the multi-hit abilities which will hit the guy in ghost robes and skull the victim up
