Regarding Runescape Sythe/or PA

Personally I would use the $250 to either have it trained or create a private AIO bot from an experienced scripter, as others have mentioned.

I've dealt with both sites, PA is very easy and straight forward but you should only buy from someone with a lot of feedback (good) on the site.

On regards to Sythe accounts, it's pretty much the same deal. Find someone who is trusted and didn't just create their account this month on Sythe.

 

Haven't read through replies so apologies if this has been posted.

Make your own account and invest the $250 into paying for somebody to level it.

 

Only buy from a very reputable seller, no matter where you're buying.

A reputable seller will likely charge more because of the security that you're getting with it.

 

Player auctions does make it more secure for never users. It does not prevent you from getting your account recoverer you just get your money back. But loose what is invested into the account. Buying from a user with very high reputation on sythe probably have less chance of it getting recover though, but if it get recovered you get nothing back likely. It depends if you are doing nothing with the account, and storing no gold on it, then I would go P.A. but if you are training and storing stuff I would go with a very well known and long time member of scythe. So, overall if you are really worried about getting an account, honestly I would recommend making your own account then just buying a power levelling service for it.

 

Please don't buy an account. Invest in hand training and verify it via random PMs to the account when it's being trained. That part is very important.

 

As everyone above has said, unless your prepared for someone to take back the account (whether it's a week from purchase or a year from purchase) I would personally invest that money into some to train a new account or just buy gold to power level the account yourself. Every now and then a mod or ex- mod sell account on here and that would probably be the only exception to buying an account from someone (even then I still wouldn't trust it). What ever you decide to do I wish you the best of luck!

 

90% seems fairly steep, but then again I would defer to your knowledge on the Sythe community in general.

As for PA, we currently have a 2% recovery rate for all game account sales. At the beginning of 2014, we were at 5%, but have taken measure by adjusting our risk management models specifically for RS markets, so we were able to get that number down to something more manageable.

And as always, anyone having trouble with an order, you guys are welcome to ping me for help.

 

appreciate all the honest feedback,thanks.

 

how can you prove these "accurate" numbers?.

 

Fair question. Most people here would vouch for my credibility, but more so, I bet tons would be interested in my response. And I might add, that anyone with a username "Imjust2Fancy" deserves nothing less, than a solid response, I'm sure we could all agree.

Many companies find transparency difficult to embrace, relying mostly on "Marketing Speak" or "PR Speak". After thinking about this however, gamers tend to be pretty bright bulbs, and the majority of us being in the "millennial" generation, we value "straight talk". We've had a habit of this anyway, so why not continue?

So without further ado, I'll present two main points.

1) Who tend to speak loudest?
Detractors. People who have had bad experiences tend to be the most vocal. In fact, people who have good experiences tend to be silent, it is actually extremely difficult for any company to establish a base of "brand enthusiasts" or "brand supporters".

What does this have to do with anything?
A) Google "Playerauctions scam". If you count honestly, you'll find about 200 complaints, stretching back many years. Not bad considering we've been in the industry for 15 years.

B) In contrast to the complaints around the web (which you can see, there aren't very many since I took over the business in 2013), check out how people rate us:

• Business Consumer Alliance: "A" Rating + 5 stars
• Trustlink: 4.5 stars with 595 real* user reviews
• Site jabber: 4 stars with with 288 real* user reviews

*I specifically mention real users, because unlike a lot of other companies who spam fake reviews, we're fortunate enough to have our own users post reviews of their own accord.

Does this prove my accurate numbers? Nope! But it does show that
i) PA has a lower ratio of vocally outspoken people who have had bad experiences (and even if they do have a bad experience, we usually like to make things right by those people)
ii) PA has an inordinate amount of people willing to take time out of their days to actually speak positively.

I feel very warm and fuzzy right now. But, let's get to actual numbers which I think you guys would find more interesting. It turns out, that my previous estimation of 2% was not correct.

2) We actually have about a 1% recovery rate platform wide for game accounts.


This is a modified extraction from one of the weekly reports my team does. I'll explain a few points:

Credit Given: This refers to the amount of insurance credit we disburse to members.
B.E. Point: This refers to our "break even" point for the insurance we paid out. Since we work on a 10% commission, a full payout in insurance represents a 90% order loss for us. So, in order for us to break even, the BE Point represents how much in transaction value we ought to make up, in order to cover the loss of the insurance payouts.
Incoming Cases: These are new reported cases each week. This includes orders which did not have insurance packages purchased.
Credit Awarded: These are the number of orders which were closed and awarded credit. This shows a 63% reward-rate based on incoming-credit award. But bare in mind, that the "incoming" metric also includes orders which did not purchase insurance packages. Therefore in reality, the % of credit reward for those who purchased insurance is much higher. People who purchased insurance but don't receive the reward are usually those that a) are suspicious to begin with or b) don't respond to their our emails [a very high proportion in fact].
Cases Open: These are currently open cases still being investigated. (We only have one person on staff currently who handles game account reclamation cases, in addition to a ton of other work she does. This is why GA cases take on average, 14 days to resolve).
Total GA Orders: I'm sure many of you were interested in this figure. It represents the total amount of successfully completed orders in a week.
Recover Rate: This refers to the % of game account orders that file for a game account reclamation case.

Anyway, time for coffee. Hope you found that interesting
