That was way back when, though. Runs these days are indeed dirt cheap.

A droks run (when I was new and got them) were like 6k. And throughout the game there's about five major runs you can get. la, droks, through the jungle, sanctum cay, and desert. If each one costs like 3-6k, and you get those all ran on say 4 different characters you're talking about a relatively hefty amount of money that you can save by scamming people if you choose to do so.

If you can't pay for the runs you want and feel the need to scam people to get them, I still stand by you have bigger issues.

Especially these days: You can make about 1-2k when you reach like level 10ish in Factions.

Oh, and am I in before close?

mmm. Nope. I have DF Honor

So, how'd you scam him?

...And is that even a scam in the first place??

faraaz · Jul 06, 2008, 12:25 AM // 00:25

Scammed? No...made use of an opportunity? Yes..for instance, I purchased my unded. Kuunavang for 25k (guy said make an offer, I just threw it out there for kicks, and he said ok...couldnt believe my luck!

)

But never actually used deceit in order to make money in a blatantly dishonest manner.

Also, as a runner, I just wanted to add:

Widowmaker...you are a waste of protoplasm and I hate your ilk so much, I have difficulty putting it into words.

Come every1 has scammed once or twice like ur comp shutting down after a run or leaving in a run stuff like that all counts as scams

holababe · Jul 06, 2008, 12:42 AM // 00:42

Yeah I have. Made a fortune out of it as well, way back in the day.

Just after EotN was released I got a Q9 Pyroclastic without an inscription. I tried to sell in Kamadan for the lols - at that point they were worth 100k + 40e, and I was selling for 100k. I got like 15 pms a minute

I had to tell some of the thick players it didn't have an inscription - they didn't see from looking at it in trade window. In the end I didn't sell - its now my warrior's weapon (customised of course)

EDIT: So no, I have never scammed anyone

Alex the Great · Jul 06, 2008, 12:49 AM // 00:49

i've scammed runners b4 when i was a noob, and i have intentionally paid way under what something costs.

lol, q8 icy bladed axe from a noob-6k

but nothing since nf came out.

Shadowhaze · Jul 06, 2008, 12:57 AM // 00:57

No. Sad that people do that, imo.
I've been paid more than the asking price of something I was selling, traded with the person and didn't notice until after I accepted (yeah, now I keep a better eye on that), pm'd the person letting them know, but they said it was ok and to keep it. Honesty is a better road.

the one time my computer did that i got back and found the person and paid him his amount. he did his job he deserves what i agreed to pay for it

Sai Rith · Jul 06, 2008, 01:17 AM // 01:17

Scam in like putting up a Mursaat Token and saying it's Ecto, or putting in 100k then quickly switching to 100g? No. Seeing a player buying Black Dye 10k more than the trader is selling, or a player screwing themselves over for me to take advantage of? Definetly.

You got that wrong there!! I have never scammed anybody and I never will.

One time during a run I disconnected, I came back on, Pm'ed the guy and paid up.

I don't need to scam people, rip them off, cheat, I find no pleasure in it. I'd so much rather play the game clean, have fun and make friends.

Same...............I love noobs when they sell stuff dirt cheap, I bought a Burning Titan for 5k when it was going for 50k, and many more great deals.
