Have any of you shitters ever scammed anyone?

no

i was retard but i have always felt bad about being mean to people even if they are some person i'll only interact with online for a minute and never see again

Did some of the small time buying expensive items with message "WTS <...> 4k" scam in Lineage 2.

Inb4 vscape shills show up

Someone tried to scam me out of some csgo items. Sent me an obviously bogus steam trade request with 4 of my items in it. I was about to cancel it but then I went and looked through his inventory, where he had the exact same 4 items. So instead of denying the trade request I sent a counter-offer back to him that looked identical to the one he sent me. He thought I had accepted his offer, and eagerly accepted mine instead. A few minutes later he sent me a steam message that just said "nice" and blocked me.

It was only like $7 but I felt pretty great about it.

>Say we should stake them for the screenshots of the spoils
>He agrees
>He beats me twice and gives me back my phat back each time
>I win the third time, claim his phat and log out for a couple of hours

I traded trimmed rune chest armour for nothing once. So yeah I was a retard and got scammed

Fucking kek.

I remember being part of this clan. I was really good friends with the leader. I asked him if I could borrow a few mill because I really wanted claws. I was genuinely going to give it back too. Couple days later, I start getting messages from clan members saying if I don't give the money back, they would all report me. I took the chance and just left the clan. As expected, nothing happened and I gained a few mill out of it. Lost a cool friend in the process but oh well.

I seriously never understood how people fall for video game scams that don't at the very least involve some kind of glitch abuse or otherwise unexpected game malfunction.

Even as a 10 year old I wasn't gullible enough to fall for runescape scams. The very first thought in any trade or interaction was always "how does this benefit the other person, why would they do this?".

Is this a regional thing? Are people in the US not taught from a super young age to never trust or interact with complete strangers?

i was scammed twice online

once was in some f2p browser mmo. i had bought all of the best armor in the game (with real money) and was walking around one of the starting zones.
some guy came up to me and told me if i gave him my password he would dupe my gold. i was reluctant until two other people entered the zone and started thanking this guy for duping their gold.
i gave him my password and he told me to logout for five minutes. i was never able to log in again, lol.

the other time was in roblox, back before you could wear two hats at once you could do something called a double hat glitch to wear two at the same time.
this guy i knew told me he would do it for me, so i gave him my password. he did do the double hat glitch for me but he also transferred my group of 800+ people to his account. RIP Devil May Cry Demon Hunters.

Not really scamming but some goy added me for trading in tf2 wanting my Strange pistol (value about 1 reclaimed metal). he put up some shite items who pretty much matched the price but i said nah since i rather keep the pistol. Then he just put in a key (value around 25-30 refined)(1 ref = 3 rec) and just accepted. never heard from him again

Please tell me you were like 5 years old at the time an high on dental anesthesia or something.

I literally cannot process what would kin of brain activity or more accurately lack of there-of would have to occur for someone to fall something like this. Why would someone dupe your gold for no reason? Why would they nee your password for it?

This is like "Greasy old hobo told me he would give me candy if I came with him to his hobo cave, I did, and I got raped" tier stupid

>>377401964

I started in 2003. Me and my friend scammed all the time. Mostly one time little things because people were retarded.

Here's the best one.

>there's an item on Karumja called a proboscis
>before summoning I don't think it was used for anything at all, but it was tradable and rather common
>Player A would sit in bank saying "SELLING PROBOSCIS 5M CASH"
>Player A would find some rich lookin guy and PM Player B his name
>Player B would whisper him and be like "yo, you got a proboscis?"
>the target usually goes "wtf? no idk what that is lol"
>Player B says "ok, I'm trying to find one, willing to pay 10M gp for it"
>target says "ok w/e" lol
>Player A casually walks around the bank, making sure to be within range of the target but still as far as possible to avoid suspicion
>target notices Player A's spam
>realizes the flip he could do
>buys the worthless item for 5M gp
>we both log

Me and my friend seriously made over 400M gp off that in like 2007 before it finally caught on, so retarded.

I remember starting out and fucking retards couldn't tell my hobbled little shitshow was a scam since I clearly didn't have anything good beside some HC couches but the little idiots were desperate to win.

RS3 is okay but I'm a bit burned out, 07 is beyond grindy and I do not have the time or attention span that I did as a kid to do this again., not doing it again. For the record there's 20~ skills in 07 and the longer ones take 300-400 hours of unbelievable monotony to hit 99.

Even 07 removed what made older Runescape Runescape between not dropping items and death and the GE. The former especially is what made the game so special and intense

it's really nothing like other MMOs, it came out before WoW and never really tried to "beat" WoW because it had its own audience

one major thing is 90% of the armor and weapons and stuff is tradable so there's markets for everything

the most redeeming factor is the quests, there are only a couple hundred total and they're very memorable rather than the "get 10 bear asses" quests you see all over the place in typical MMOs

>>377403821
How can nobody want them if every update is polled?

>>377403931
Trust me as a marketingfag not helping my case, am I, people are complete idiots and don't know what they want. Zeah for instance is 90% unusable content and extremely poorly laid out; reddit actually formed Zeah to look like something that would exist in Runescape oddly enough.

Hello anon, just wanted you to know your post was severely underrated. I kek'd

>>377402325
Sorry you missed out on the golden age but real runescape didn't change the color of gold's text.

>>377403794
It was free to play (unlike WoW) and has some decent quests. There were loads of people playing it in '06 and '07 and most were fairly friendly which meant that there was a pretty big social aspect to it too.

It wasn't exceptionally good as much as the right game released at the right time.

>>377401504
People have tried to scam me and it didn't work except for one specific time it works and I was pissed.
I fell for the "One guy sells item higher than normal, while his friend tries to buy it even higher" scam. I bought and Ahrims staff for 800k because some other guy was going to buy it for 2m. Holy shit they got me.

>>377400136
Nah, too edgy for me.

>>377404339
nah they added the white text for 100k+ and green text for 10M+ to prevent scamming

>when some noob keeps following you around for hours crying to get his items back

Before player owned houses started restoring your health when you left this was a fun thing to do:

>Invite people to your house
>Tell them to get naked so we can damage each other easier
>Act like you're just having fun in the boxing arena
>Get people to low health
>Ask them if they can help smith you something because your smithing is too low
>Use house portal to go to Lumbridge then go to the furnace
>Give them an item( I can't remember what it was) that damages them if they try to put it in the furnace without gloves on
>They die and you collect their items

>>377404459
Yes they added that AFTER the golden age. Reading comprehension my man.

>>377403708
The quests are still done better than quests in any other MMO today, but that is not a high bar to begin with

Can it really be called scam?

All the time with Diablo 2 scam dupe rooms and it was so easy.

>sit in it with two friends
>wait for someone to join
>moment it says someone connected friend 1 starts typing shit like "Oh wow holy shit that worked thanks"
>friend 2 then starts pretending like it's his turn to get something duped and he also pretends to be shocked
>at this point mark who just joined the room will run to me believe I can dupe his items and I steal whatever I can get and divide it between us

Some people started getting smart and buying shit weapons to make me prove I could dupe so I made sure to load up with shit weapons that were close enough in stats and usually the retards would believe I duped it.

I don't know what was going through my head. I'd always wanted a whip too so it just doesn't make sense to me when I look back at that memory.

I played for 6 years about. Only time I got scammed was about my 5/6th day of playing, just got an iron chain, fell for the armor trimming scam just outside lumby, some stupid fucker actually went through the time and effort to scam it from me, gave the chain to him just outside the goblin house across the bridge and he logged. Really took the wind out of my sails for a couple days there.

I fell for the Alt + F4 thing in 2005 or so when I first started playing Runescape. Some guy told me I could duplicate items if we went to a building behind Varrock East bank. He told me to drop my items, place my mouse over them and Alt+F4.

I learned my lesson. It was probably one of you fuckers.

I wanted to check out what's going on in LoL after not playing for years.
Turns out my account got stolen while I was away and the kid who stole it(or most probably bought it from the guy who stole it) unlocked shit and bought p2w currency.
He wrote me afterwards and told me to give his account back but I didn't because he didn't even realize he was in the wrong and he was also from Dubai.

Not a scam but probably the biggest dick move I made in order to gain something that isn't rightfully mine.

Yes. I used to go into ground war matches on Modern Warfare 2 and then message everyone on my recently played list that I could get them into a tenth prestige lobby (basically just unlocks everything for you and gives you max level) if they gave me 1600 microsoft points. One of my friends actually did get into one randomly so we made a game together and showed him off and retarded 12 year olds actually bought it most of the time.
I regret nothing. I taught those children a valuable lesson about the world.

Party hat. They are from a Christmas event on runescape back on the early 2000s. They were free from the event but eventually became super rare items later in the games history. Now party hats and Christmas crackers are the most expensive items in the game. They are purely cosmetic.

It's an MMO from the pre-WoW days so like all of its contemporaries it was more than just a WoW clone. Levelling your skills in a test of pure autism was the most popular thing, but I'm not joking when I say that the quests they put into the game were some of the best you'll ever find. Very little fetch quests; you might end up organising the finances of some literally who kingdom, solve a murder mystery, the most bullshit light puzzle you'll ever have to deal with. It had it all.

Getting scammed at an early age and on a video game is one of the best life lessons a child can get

This is true. I had to have "friends" steal real shit from me before I learned that you can't trust people as far as you can throw them.

It's hilarious how Runescape of all things gave me that kind of important life lesson. It's better to learn that shit at an early age so you don't end up being a gullible idiot later.
