Runescape Trading Account Safty

many people claim to be the orgial owner of accounts so i think if this following rule is in place people for that buy accounts would have more chance of keeping them:

recovery test :
The buyer give the money to the OMM then the seller gives recovery details, then the buyer attempts to recover the account via the i lost access to my email route, answering recovery questions, creation date and location ect. Once jagex successfully recover the account to the new owner OMM releases funds to the seller.

Doing this will ensure that both party's; the buyer and seller, have the same power on the account. Once the buyer has played for a month + if the seller recovers the account, the buyer can recover and state the date and place he moved to (ip based) these details will not be known by the seller only the buyer so the account should now be safe.

 

We shouldn't force a preference on everyone. Doing this also raises suspicion on the account in question.

 

hmm mabey but the account should not be played on still if the seller is selling it.

 

Pardon?

 

if the seller is selling the account 9 times out of 10 he wont still be actively playing it. otherwise he would not be selling so the recovery attempt would look valid.

I know i would prefere to know that if any funny shit was to happen to an account i paid $$$ for i could recover it back. p.s not ha-ha funny

 

Where was that implied? I never said anything close to that.

I'm saying it's suspicious to request a recovery form with your long term IP, and then all of a sudden the location of the IP jumps after it's been approved. It's essentially a double edge sword. Doing this does not heighten your chances of the account not being stolen from you by the original owner, so it's of little significance.

 

yeah i understand i was just saying that there should be some kind of login delay ect so you can claim it is a address change. and say something like you lost your login details ect on the house move.

 

That's by all means not logical, efficient, and beneficial for both parties. What happens when the account gets locked? The original owner would have to unlock the account for you, and POOF, that person is somehow back to the original destination of the account creation, rendering your address change null and void.

 

what are you talking about? the original owner will not be needed to unlock as you have all the required details...
lol im not here to argue but advise a more secure way of buying an account. Read what i posted in the first post and think the procedure though.

if it would let me i would add a poll but it seems you cannot edit to add poll

 

There are no guarantees, every account buyer should know the risk associated with account buying.
Even with a recovery test the original owner can get it back due to IPs.

 

You really think having details of the account is enough for a successful recovery? That story won't work, and conflicts with the possibility of the original owner recovering to steal the account from the buyer with the same IP the account was created at. For a suggestion to be viable it needs to have little to no significant drawbacks. All this does is confuse those who are ignorant in regards to the stipulations of account selling, and force users to abide an illogical preference.

 

yes but one of the questions on recovering an account is have you ever moved house.... the old owner dose not know your location so you click yes and give the new details = you giving more details than the old owner

 

If a owner recovers the account from the original location all the moving house ip shit is void, and the owner can always recover the account.
thats as simple as it gets.

 

wow many haters look
: You really think having details of the account is enough for a successful recovery? YES that is the recovery test

from the buyer with the same IP the account was created at : you inform jagex that you have moved house.

feel free to try this out on your own account

 

Much ignorance. I've said all that needed to be said.

 

Location is important think about it this way

You buy an account from a dude, who lives in norway, and you live in USA
You then do this recovery test and say it works first time, with the suggestion you implemented.
Then the original owner say he wants his account back, he's going to submit an appeal from his house in Norway, with the same IP the same ISP the same computer, he WILL get his account back and all the information set by the other person will be REMOVED because they can do that.

 

i cant be bothered arguing this anymore lol but you can just recover it right back and people change IP ISP ect so you could use a norway vpn / rdp to recover it. and if it is over 1 month+ your address will stand

 

@ghast firstly you say it will raise suspicion now your saying it wont work lol just hating for no reason oh wait you know best because you have been registered here longer than me.. :facepalm:

 

Yes, the process you're suggesting does raise suspicion. I said your plan to hoodwink the system won't work . Both do not correlate. I know more than you because of experience, not because of a join date on a forum.

 

But I think jagex will favour the seller because if the seller does recover the account, it will be from an IP close to the creation IP. and so wouldnt work
