Today i was boring so i decide to take someone to run also for free.
I got a boy/girl to gunnar that ask a run to tarnished heaven and he/she pay 5k.
I don't ask to pay to outpost because i trust in people......and who would scam for only 5k?
So i run to tarnished and he/she put 5k and cancel the operation and leave the game. After i got it and i ask why (i don't need really the

So this is the answer

I wanna know your opinion

Scammers/cheaters/hackers play games not so much to win, but rather to see you lose.

Idk, but it is really sad. And I run Droks, I've gotten quite some scammers, but not too many lately. Although, I've been 1 step (litteraly) from Rankor and they zone back into Dreadnoughts Drift. Wich really makes me mad, because It takes probably 10 minutes to get there, and I have to do it all over again. So I just leave, and I spam that I wouldn't go with them (because he/she was the only one left alive), to beware the runners.

Not to be a jerk, but how long have you been a member of the human race?

People steal, scam, everything, be it in games or real life. People are degenerates. There's not much more to it. In a computer game it is anonymous, so there is even more detachment and less guilt, so even people who wouldn't do it in real life are tempted.

Some poeple live to help others generally, some poeple live to make others look bad. Live with it, place yourself inside one of the two groups and stick by it.

It is a slow process of the breakdown of the moral fabric of society that can be traced to the rise of liberalism in the 1960's. Couple that with the anonyimty of the internet and the teenagers of today think nothing of ripping you off.

maybe i read it wrong but ur grammar was confusing, it sounds like you offered to run for free(according to ur 1st sentence), so how did they scam you when u said it was free,they didnt have to pay you

People want money, and they want it easily. Simple. One of the ways to do that is prey on stupidity/ignorance/trust of others.

Necrosh · May 02, 2009, 03:57 PM // 15:57

people who cant get money by their own, are scammers.

Only one thing to remember from this story: you made a "random act of kindness" (there used to be a section one this in the Scribe) and ty for that.

Let the poor guy continue his life with his 5k, whatever feeling that gives him. You're the one who should feel good for doing what you did, not feel bad for what he did.

Simple. They want stuff the easy way.

Sadly, that is why most people do it. Very rarely do they really care so much about the money, and are completely unwilling to do it in any other way.

Oh, and +1 before close.

^This. If they can get away with it, they can. This has always been the shady side of running people. It's a trust/honor code issue. Plus, if the person truly only had 10k, then 5k would considerably cut his gold in half. 5k might seem little to you, but a lot to others.
