So you're saying that if I walk into a bad neighborhood because I'm in a hurry and/or am not paying attention and get shot to death, that I deserved to die because I wasn't paying attention? That somehow doesn't fit. The example's extreme but still fits. Why would you want to take advantage of someone else? It all points to character.

Seriously, I doubt you can make 1.8 mil in less than 10 minutes. And when good scammers scam, they don't scam all the time. Scamming is just a side job. You say you only make 25k-100k a day. Why do I say only? Just by hunting giants in the desert my brother and I can at very least make 400k each a day. Easily, without taking six hours. I have never been scammed, even though people have tried to scam me countless times. The reason? Think before your actions. Check prices before you buy. Spend a minute or two checking your trade window. Check the actual item, gold/plat, and seller's name. From this rant, I can tell that you have been scammed many times, and keep falling for the same pathetic scams. And yes, I am proud of my brother, my friends, and... myself. Without scamming, we have made more money than you ever have. Individually... try us. Scamming, like I said, is a side job. We don't always scam, usually the people we try to scam are people that act like you. When people get all coc.ky and brag that they are the best, they usually get scammed the hardest. Don't pull out this "noob" crap, none of us are noobs. We are not retards. Then my favorite, we are not "retarts." We know more about this game- economy-wise, skills-wise, build-wise- than you even get close to knowing. And no we don't dedicate our lives to this game, we are just *actually* intelligent and learn the game instead of complaining about flaws or other players. Quote:

(The hardest to master, but once you do, you are invincible) 3) How can I come up with my own scams? 4) How can I guarantee that I can continue this scam? 5) Where do I pull the scam? Without knowing these five, you will get nowhere. Quote:

"I just pity them for the fact that they have to cheat other people in order to feel joy from the game, especially those who pride themselves in the fact that they stole some other guy's virtual money." The game is enjoyable by itself, otherwise the person wouldn't bother scamming. Scamming is very enjoyable by its own right, but so is the game. Quote:

To finish this off, has anyone noticed a trend? Everyone that brings out the positives in scamming or blame scamming on the stupidity of the scammed use English correctly. Likewise, everyone that "tipes ike dis" and cannot spell or write grammatically if their life depended on it, are the ones that get or have been scammed.

Intelligence of the person being scammed may be an issue for them, however, the main issue of scamming is the character of the scammer. In the real world it's called fraud and its a criminal offense. Try scamming the IRS for taxes.

It all starts somewhere. If you are apt to scam someone in game you are more apt to do it in real life (whether you do or not). It's all about a person's character.

And, no, I've never been scammed. At least, not to the point I consider it important in the least. Maybe it's luck, maybe I just pay attention. Maybe it's because I rarely trade knowing "criminals" like you are out there trying to make a quick virtual buck off of me. In any case, I may not get rich very quickly, but I certainly enjoy the game a whole lot more. And that's something NO scammer can steal from me.

Scammers are piles of horse dung. And people that defend them are no better. There is a godamn reason in society that kind of behaviour isnt accepted nor tolerated. For all you aholes that thinks its cool to scam and that people deserve it, I hope the next used car you buy falls apart and you have to deal with a crooked auto dealer.

i been scammed once, he was gonna run to granite and wanted 3k for it drom draknors (which i did on my own anyway) I gave him 1k saying i dont have much money LOL (i lied to him) i dont care about losing 1k i make that quick, but he took the money and left, i have since added him to friends and hit him up ALL the time on a whisper LMAO! he has yet to ignore me! LOL I didnt get mad, i just figured try letting someone else run and i can get a coke. oh well lol. NEVER pay ppl for runs unless they have a reputation behid them, that they dont scam, my guildmates run ppl and never scam, heck Grandma Jake has the movie to prove it. He ran my warrior who is now a runner. As far as trades go? I will never trade for something that cant be done in 1 swap.

scamming
Yes scamming is bad, however it is still just a game but still not a sign of good morals. I am not saying that I approve because I do not and believe that if you will do in in the game you will more than likely lower yourself (lower being the key word) to that level in life. (Not very Honorable ). Play the game and enjoy yourselves and live and learn. When I farm or when I just play half of the items or gold that I get I usually give away or trade for something that most would not. I do it because if someone needs something no matter its value I will still give it to them or trade it for them to help some noob in the game or help with quest etc. bottom line is ( It's Just a game ) take it for what it is. If you do not like what happens get out and do something outdoors. I still believe it is not very honorable in game or out. Remember it is not just what we say that makes us who we are but more so what we do in life in relations to ourselves and others around us
Thank you for my 2 cents. grin Last edited by djgriggs; Aug 22, 2005 at 02:38 PM // 14:38.. |
