Resolved, leaving this at the bottom though
Would also like to add to anyone thinking about buying legacy accounts, or any account for that matter from another person, that the account is never yours, even if the email is unregistered. I was actually going to train this account at some point and make it my main. Imagine putting 5000 hours into an account then you wake up 1 day and the password has been changed. This is the reality with the account sale section, even high tier sellers have T&Cs where they are no longer responsible after X amount of time, and Sythe staff cannot do anything about it due to the time passed, and insufficient proof.
Probably the most sketchy section out of all of RuneScape trading.
I highly recommend if you do want a statted account, but don't want to do the work, make an account under your email so you have FULL control, and have someone powerlevel it. Sure it will cost you more, but it will be TOTALLY yours. Please be aware though that most services treat their workers as sweatshop workers (paying them the equiv of $0.50 an hour in some instances, while keeping upto 80% of the amount themselves for literally middlemanning the sale lmao). A much more ethical way of doing it is sniping a worker from a service and proposing them to level your account, this way the worker actually gets paid fairly, and you can often get the service for cheaper, as they're making wayyyy more than what they would have made through the service, so it benefits you both.
