Just want to know what the majority thinks. In my opinion, the number of legitimate account sellers that accept RSGP for accounts can be counted on one hand.

From what ive seen over the last week talking to account sellers selling MAINS for RSGP, most of them are scammers who are cleaned at duel arena looking for fast easy RSGP.

i think that implementing this would REDUCE the amount of scammers, as most of them are not open to exchanging IRL information that goes with a bank transfer, or WU.

Some of them are too young/ scared to even accept paypal.

How many times have you seen this?

"Selling my 138 main for 500m , it has no bank cause i gave it away, sick of RS and quitting"

Need RSGP for my pure/brothers account/e-dating.

Its still has p2p"

What youre doing if you buy this account is to rent it for maybe a day or maybe a week. Because they WILL recover it.

These people are not even committed to scamming enough to sacrifice the loss of loyalty points from not being p2p. Its obvious they are still 'addicted' to runescape. 24/25 accounts that i have checked still have massive xp gains.

AT THE VERY LEAST. i strongly suggest prospective/foolish buyers to check XP gains on runetracker.

I know that my suggestion will not prevent scamming but i think that the amount of money lost on scams from account sales is enough to justify such a rule.

Just my opinion. Id like yours too! even if its only a yes/no vote.
