Sythe for Dummies ;D

Hey guys, It's Monster. I decided to write a Sythe Guide for newcomers. I hope you enjoy it. This is my first time to write a Guide, So please take it easy on me.

-What is Sythe?
Sythe is a Huge Blackmarket Where people Sell and Buy their Runescape Rares/GP/Accounts/, Not only Runescape items, But also WoW (World of Warcraft) and many other games. You can also sell your IRL stuff such as Gift cards, iPod's, Clothes, etc.

-What are Vouches?
Vouches are basically a Recomendation of Trust based on succesful trade(s), The more Vouches a person has, The more the person is to be trustworthy. For Example:
Your looking to buy a Green Partyhat, You find 2 people that are selling it, 1 person has 3 Vouches and the other has 60+ Vouches, The person with 3 Vouches is more likely to scam than the person with 60+ Vouches.

-How to avoid being scammed:
There are many imposters that roam around Sythe looking for people that buy stuff to add their MSN making you think that they're Trustworthy, Example:
Your Looking to buy a Runescape account, So you made a thread saying your looking to buy a decent main, And you write your MSN. An imposter takes a look at that thread and adds your msn, His MSN: ([email protected]) You accept, You talk with him, And he tells you he's selling a Runescape account for $60 while your convinced that he is Hahanerd, You think its ([email protected]) You get scammed for $60. You have to avoid that, There are many imposters and there people that also hack Trustworthy people's MSN's. There's only one simple Step to avoid Being scammed:
Ask for a PM to confirm your talking with that user, Some people might be like Okay, Then two Minutes later they would say something like: "Sythe isn't working for me." or They just make up some random Excuses, Immediately Block them.

-Trading with a person you don't Deem trustworthy:
There are some cases you find an account/item you really want But you don't deem the seller trustworthy enough for you to go first. Either use an OMM (Official MiddleMan) That you have to pay for or use a Trustworthy MM that both partys agree upon using him to MM the trade.

A list of all the OMM's on sythe:
-Finn
-Tyro
-Nick
-Hahanerd
-Greg
-Rohail
-Plznate
-HamJam
-Louis
-Pen
-Feren Silver
-Giddy
-Vietballer

Feel free to leave me a feedback, Hope you guys enjoyed reading this guide.

 

nice start, 6/10
it should contain way more explanation. what are vouches used for etc.

you could also link to topics that help avoid getting scammed

goodluck ^.^

 

Thanks bro, Will take it in mind for my next Guide hopefully ^^

 

This is a very good guide for somebody's first guide. I admire how you're trying to help out the community even though you joined recently.

To the guide information: You've explained everything very clearly and gone through all the basic about trading very carefully. Which is always good. But to make this guide the absolute best I recommend these changes: Go in-depth with all the other ways people are scammed, example, you go first and they run off, how to post a scam report, easy ways of getting vouches. Also they're a number of guide on paypal, how to avoid being scammed, you could possibly link them in this guide so it can go off in different directions. So if somebody wants to learn about paypal and sythe - you could link them to my guide on paypal gift option where I explained what it is and how it helps you. If you need help finding guides, just pm me.

Formatting: The overall appearance for a person posting a their first guide is excellent. It's clear cut, the title are perfect size, and it's visually appealing. But I would once again recommend something. Don't worry it's not as bad as above ^.^. Just make the names of all the OMMs click-able. What I mean is, if I click their names it would take me to the OMMs profile.

 

Thanks, I'll try do that later on ^^.

 

Nice start Monster. Maybe make a market guide for Sythe since the market is so huge.

 

Thank you for your support FireZ, I'll take that into consideration.

 

that would be a great idea indeed

 

Not a bad start, keep it filled out with more information and it will be fine
