Membership Sales forum gone.

[HamJam]

We're not selling Jagex property, we're selling our time that it took to get said items and property .

Anyways... I understand the terms on which they took it down but I'm still very disappointed that they did. I now have to open my horizons to other forums etc...

Same here.
I honestly don't want to, but whatever.
They made a bad decision and it's going to hurt the community.
Shit happens.

 

Man, the membership section was my home D:

I've been in that section for like two years by now :/

 

[Bubba Fuzz]

To be honest I'm pretty pissed. I don't have any way to get members for my second account. My parents let me use their paypal for 1 account, but I can't pay for my zerker with it they said. So I use my own paypal to pay others for pins. Only problem now is that my paypal isn't verified so I can't pay for members directly from my paypal. That's why I bought pins from other people. Now that the section is gone I'm screwed.

I am glad that while Sythe was never endorsing the sale of stolen goods, is now doing something about the sale of stolen goods.

Because no one gives a shit about Jagex rules / tos. Just because they don't like something doesn't make it illegal. Using *******s and selling pins from them is.

Pretty much this. Violating Jagex ToS will result in, at worst, a perm ban of the involved account.

Fraud through the use of lines can result in severe legal action. Its a fairly wise decision on his part, and even though I lament the loss of my pin shop, I see the logic in it.

this is bullshit,this is the way i purchased all my pins,and now i cant get mems on my main or any account at all

It is bullshit indeed.
If you can convince Sythe into letting legitimate sellers sell membership, then you could still be able to have this privilege.
I am a legit UGC/Pre-Paid Mem Card seller & I am suffering too.

There are more than pins. Bring it back, but just dont let pins be sold or something

You've been here for 3 days, how many pins could you have possibly purchased? Oh right, you're the guy with like 80+ posts a day who talks like he knows everything that has ever happened in Sythe history. Surely not evading at all.

How exactly do you turn a profit on buying memberships like that if you don't use an illegitimate method?

I'm not accusing you of anything, just confused?

Like, do you sell them for more than retail?

I recommended this already.
I don't know Sythe's view point on it though.
>_<
This whole update is annoying though.
:sick:

Ghey.

Nothing more to be said.

Ghey.

Okay, just judging about how many people are on this topic because they're outraged by this. I think it's safe to agree that we want some alternative solution instead of getting rid of the entire membership section.

I put in some of my own money into this community.
On top of that, I get discounts and free perks due to my employment at FYE.
Furthermore, there are websites (which I won't state due to the rules) that give out free membership if you complete surveys or offers legitimately.

 

[kfjjjdst]

Well, my most honest opinion is: I agree to both sides, but the point is, get over it already.

I'm confused, which one do you do? I understand now that these are all possibilities, but I highly doubt that you sell these memberships to lose money. No offense, but I doubt you're some martyr.

I'm almost positive that buying goods with an employee discount and then selling them to make profit is illegitimate and extremely unethical.

Most "survey" sites require you to do offers which end up costing you money, or so many other surveys that it really isn't worth it at all.

Just curious to which one exactly you do, because I doubt that sometimes you sell memberships to lose money, sometimes you buy memberships with an employee discount and then sell them, and sometimes you do surveys for memberships.

Mainly because I highly doubt anyone with a job would find it worth their time to sit around filling out surveys all day for pennies on the dollar.

This conclusion is based on a fallacy. People are on this topic because it is a hot button issue that has been debated for forever. Debates generally have two sides, so you can't attribute the popularity of something to entirely one side of the debate.

 

[The Legit Shop]

thats pretty retarded, I haven't bought runescape membership for like $7 in 2 years.

I talked to my superior at FYE & she stated that it was perfectly fine.
JaGeX can't sue me for doing this, the most that can be resulted is the person's account being banned.
I doubt this will even be possible due to the simple fact that they aren't allowed on this site and also they don't know the customer's RS account name.
I'll just let the website out... hopefully I won't get an infraction as I am just trying to help the community.
A friend of mine that also uses Sythe would sell pre-paid RS Membership Cards that he received through Prize Rebel.
He just does offers on there that require him to put in his credit card information and Social Security Number.
It doesn't charge him and he gets the free memberships.
Also, I'm pretty sure he refers a lot of people and you get points (that's the currency on the website you could say.) that way as well.
I don't do survey/offer websites myself.
And I don't care about the money loss, I'm helping the community here at Sythe.
$3 loss for one smile on a Sythe member's face isn't much to pay, considering I work 2 jobs.

I can bet 100% member ship section was using like best section of all. and now its gone =[ i also was using it alot.

 

[ConJacKed]
