I actually got my trimmed adamantium armor scammed from me. Dude said he'd buy the whole set for 200k. I think shit, that's a lot of money. I'm too excited during the trade that I fail to notice him changing the 200k to just 200 gold. RIP.

So I’ve played RS on and off for yeeeeaaars. Started when I was a young teen. I’m a female who plays as a female character, so the amount of “WILL YOU BE MY GF” comments I used to get was annoying as anything. To combat this, I told my potential suitors I’d be their gf if they got me a diamond ring/rune platebody/other decent stuff (this was all pre GE). Got a couple of things before I felt too guilty.

Figured it was pay back for all of the gross comments and “GIRLS DON’T PLAY VIDEO GAMES” crap I got.

I was buying dragon claws from this dude on the wildly border when they were like 18mil. Next thing ya know he goes into wildly and drops them. I’m like oh fuck, I can steal them. I go into the wildly and there’s his busy waiting and he hits me with that spell that freezes you and won’t let you move. Got killed and lost 18mil which was basically everything in my account. I may or may have not cried.

This incredibly nice person gave me a full set of bronze armor when I was still super new to the game, and I LOVED that armor. It was so damn cool

Then some guy told me he could trim it for me so I gave it to him and he vanished

I whined about getting scammed and some other guy swooped in and replaced it with iron armor and I learned my lesson

Runescape taught me as a child how to navigate the internet and pick up on as well as avoid online scams, every kid should have to play it to get the same lessons.

I came here to tell my runescape story, too.

Was trying to sell off some full addy Armor when this guy tells me I can get a free rune longsword with a cheat. Now this is back when almost every game had cheats and I thought it was entirely believable runescape had some.

All I had to do was log out, change my password to “password”, wait a minute, and log back in. Was completely wiped out.

The thing that really pisses me off, though, was that right as I’m about to log off I say “if this works thank you so much” and this fucker says “ur welcome”. Ugh just me saying that makes me 100x more the rube.

I almost fell for this scam.

I traded my rune whatever, and he started to run off! I chased him and Suddenly, I guess he grew a conscience cuz he stopped and gave meback my item.
