Shouldn't we have a sticky of scammers?

Post by Nemesis »

I am currently sp farming at ongs using taxis. I'd say about 80% are scammers. I lose a lot of money, but I accept that risk. Shouldn't we make it easier for people to NOT get scammed by compiling a list of people who scam? That way myself and other players know who NOT to pay for a taxi.

I know there isn't a whole lot of proof or anything, but it's not like calling out botters. I think a list with ppl's experiences would be greatly helpful.

The active people have high lvl chars that they use to plvl their own low lvl chars. Or they don't have low level chars. And even if you make a list, just like you said about 80% are scammers so you might as well make a list of people who are actually trustworthy.

That's a good point. I would like to make a list of good taxis. (and bad)

I tried to start something like this once and it didn't work out...Not saying you will have the same result...I actually think you should try it...start making your list and ask others to add to it.....Post it in the section that deals with your server...Post it here and on SRO main site...then point your friends and others to it.

Way to many people out there. You only play on 1 server. there about 30 servers. They might scam you but not everyone.

Few, if any of those people will be on srf.

Too many servers/plevelers, plus it will degenerate into an unending bot plvl debate

Poor idea is; poor.

Put it in the appropriate server section; it's not a bad idea. As some people said, sometimes scammers will scam a certain person but not someone else. I've gotten scammed from some people who wouldn't scam a friend.

For example a non-Turk plvler may scam a Turk, or vice versa.
