Membership Sales forum gone.

What do you think of the removal of the Membership Forums?

  • It was justified; all the pins in there were from illegal methods.

What you posted before doesn't seam to agree with this post.

It doesn't agree because I do profit off some membership trades as well.
I get free Ultimate Gamer Cards sometimes, thus I get profit. (Job perk, I guess?)
Sorry if there was any confusion.

If you get them for free then, its probably an illegal method( NOT saying it is, but most of the time that's the case). So in the end there's no difference if you'd use a *******, if your method is illegal.

Lol, I don't get memberships illegally.
I work at FYE and I get free shit + store discounts.
Some I buy with discounts (for the community) and some I get for free (profit for me, but for the community as well).
Do you see what I am saying now?
 
Look at that.. Even I learn something each day. Thanks for the heads-up as I did not even know it was gone..

Someone still needs to edit the description: The Runescape Market. Contains account sales, membership sales, gold sales, and much more.

Done.
 
I understand your position, but you don't see where I am coming from.
Yes, the majority of that market was illegitimate pins acquired from pins lines, but there were also people like myself who sold legit memberships.
I believe that pins obtained via pin lines shouldn't be able to be sold here, but the legit sellers should still be able to have business.
What are your thoughts on that?

Yes, that was unfair. The legit sellers should still have the opportunity to have a business.

I don't see why it was removed.
I want it back :(

now we will have to search for pins over msn or other sites, where are even more scammers then on sythe.

It's bullshit.
I sell legit Ultimate Gamer Cards & now I have no business.
Sythe is turning into shit...

To my knowledge the vast majority of RS membership sales are ultimately sourced through illegal wholesalers. The reselling of stolen goods is called fencing, and is both illegal and against sythe.orgs rules.

I would, however, like to keep the membership sales forum if there is going to be legitimate trading in there. If you can make your case to me that your pins (or any pins sold on sythe.org) are legitimately obtained (at their source) I will be happy to reopen the sales part of the forum to you.

To be perfectly clear, I have not closed these forums because membership trading is inherently banned, but merely because it is currently overrun with illegally sourced pins.

That's quite an empty promise, as you can never prove where your pin was from...

Yes, I do agree with you that the majority of the memberships on here are acquired illegally, but I am positive that there are a select few who are legit.
How would you like me to prove this?
I can take a picture of the Ultimate Gamer Cards/RS Pre-Paid cards I purchase?
You can call my manager at the FYE I work at and ask if I actually purchase these membership cards? (If my superior is up for it, of course.)

Edit: Also, I am not selling pins. I sell Ultimate Gamer Cards & Pre-Paid RS Mem Cards.
 
How do we know who's legit and whos not..

I suppose due to the price they're selling their pins at. We can never tell for sure as they can just hike up the price and claim they're legit. I haven't thought it through yet.

Read through my previous posts.
I have had some ideas.
It might be a bitch to find out who is really legit, but I think it's worth it.

Transfer's method is pretty much, I think, the best solution. Don't allow pbp or sms pins to be sold, only gamer cards ect..

Thank you for supporting my idea.
:D
But I haven't heard back from Sythe & what he thinks of it.
>_<
 
Honestly, most ultimate gamer cards are also obtained illegally. I know this because I used to play an FPS called War Rock. A site called Playspan.com sold War Rock premiums, which allowed players to get better guns. PlaySpan is the company that runs the UGC program and you can buy Ultimate Gamer Cards with their "ultimate points" on their site. While I played War Rock, a few in-game friends taught me a survey glitch on playspan. With this glitch, most of us were able to obtains $1000s of War Rock premiums and either sell them or use them on our accounts.

This survey glitch, or using bots on the surveys, is probably how most people obtain such cheap UGCs, that they sell at pure profit.

In addition, direct USA runescape memberships can be bought from these playspan points.

So ultimately (no pun intended), we cannot truly know what memberships are "legit".

If you would of read my above posts, you will see that people can prove that they aren't obtained illegally.
I can take a picture of receipts and all as well. (If I can find them, l0l.)
:D
I think a big amount of Sythe's community will be upset if they have to pay regular price for RS mems again, but it's not my decision whether to change this or not.
Oh well.
 
I'm quite unhappy with this. I don't use the membership sales forum at all but this will definitely upset the whole Sythe market :(

Although I do agree that the reason to close the membership sales forum was justified and probably necessary.
