Are Runescape services still a big thing?

I am curious if runescape services are a big thing still in 2022 can any of the services providers give a rough input whether they are actually getting a fair amount of customers or not?

 

I retired from taking custom orders around in december, and people still join my discord / add me to ask for a quote. I'd say there is still a good amount of customers, it depends on your reputation + activity pretty much tough.

 

right would you say account sales are a bigger thing? Also I don't understand one thing with account sales when a company sells an account and it says resale how do they buy it from a seller and resell it without it being recovered and if it does get recovered what steps does the company take?

 

I wouldnt touch second hand accounts thats being re-sold. Just because of the fact 90% of the accounts will be recovered and you are responsible for it if you re-sell it. best shot is to create accounts yourself and have workers to build them up for you, so the accounts are indeed originally created by you.

 

but thats one thing I dont understand too if I have my personal account trained by a worker lets say exactly what information needs to be kept so if a recovery needs to take place e..g because of it being locked I have no idea what will suffice surely a bond on an account won't just do ( bond date ) you have more knowledge in this than me please do enlighten me

 

Runescape services are definitely still a thing. I had someone train my combat stats to 99 not too long ago.

Account sales are pretty big as well because not everyone wants to grind hours and hours to play the game. Not everyone has the time. Usually these companies take IDs and other required information before buying an account from someone. Most scammers will not provide that information.

If the account does get recovered the company will reach out to the seller to figure out what's going on. Most sites include insurance so if an account is recovered, you could get a refund or an account similar to the one you purchased.

 

with regards to the insurance how will the seller be liable ( the one that sells the account to the company )
I want to understand this properly if i will attempt to get into this

 

Honestly I am not sure on this. I asked a company once what steps do they take if a seller does recover the account and all they told me is that they reach out to them. I don't think they do anything legal wise but I may be wrong.

@PlayerAuctions @EldoradoGG @Chicks

Maybe one of these guys can let us know.

 

Eldorado wont do anything when the seller recovers the account. I do recommend to stay away from that platform.

 

This is what I found out of googling up "Playerauctions osrs account recovered": PlayerAuctions Review: Osrs account recovered, order id:#3713225 | ComplaintsBoard.com

I consider not to get into that account re-selling, it might turn out something else than bussiness for you. But as I said few comments upwards, I do recommend creating the accounts by yourself and have workers to train them up for sale.

 

Hey guys, thanks for the tag.

What we offer is after-sale protection; it's not strictly insurance per se where buyers can instantly cash out the refund. We've reoriented this support feature so that it adheres more closely to the requirement that we still need proof from the buyer, and this can be in the form of email logs or correspondence from Jagex/any other company that says the email was taken back by the original owner — something along those lines. That email should mention which account it is.

There could be other forms of evidence but we approach this on a case-to-case basis. And while we're on the topic, yes, buyers are able to get refunds this way but I have to be honest that most of them don't, for the sole reason that others aren't able to provide evidence or because they didn't purchase after-sale protection (this would lead to many rants/negative experiences you read on other sites that do not mention the order came with after-sale protection, nor that it was with provision of the correct evidence).

As for Runescape still being a big thing this 2022, I would answer this with a resounding yes.

@Chicks btw continues to be a prominent and respected seller on our site; I can't speak of their team's activities for their confidentiality, however (just thought I'd mention it since they were also tagged). Hello, team Chicks!

I totally agree with @Special Delivery above. Account re-selling could really land the seller in a lot of trouble. This is because if the account gets recovered by the original owner, the fault would still be with the seller since it's considered their responsibility. Hand-trained ones by the seller him/herself or by his/her team are still the best. There are also accounts offered without email addresses, those are the ones buyers can just purchase and attach their email addresses to and they're good to go — these are usually from the best performing sellers on the site (a few of them are in constant communication with us here in Sythe).

Hope this provides some insights. Have a great week, everyone.

 

I would definitely say so, I know lots of people do the fire capes and leveling and stuff like that. That isn't really my forte, I enjoy gold trading and collecting valuable items in '07 personally! Myself personally I have never bought an account though, I always made my from scratch the long way

 

Just bought 79-99 rc from chick's a couple days ago. They're already at 87. Hopefully they make it to 99

 

RS services are very much still a thing.
I always tell people this, the money you spend on services is the same price if not cheaper than trying to bot your own account. By the time you buy the script, VPN, membership, and redo new accounts because they were bot banned, the service provider would have completed your accounts services.

 

You guys scammed me in around 2018 with your after market protection. I bought an expensive account worth over $1k USD and bought the protection. the account was recovered 4-5 months later and you required me to show proof from jagex that it was recovered. There is literally no way of doing this and I tried getting information off of jagex twitter and you guys just closed the ticket and I lost out on my money. (I still have all the emails and ticket logs for proof of this btw incase anybody would want them)

Do not use playerauctions for buying accounts that aren't original creators and do not buy their after market protection. Stay away from sites like PA and pay workers to level up your own account.

 

Chicks did on PA? Or you mean just someone on PlayerAuctions.

Buying accounts on PlayerAuctions is generally not a good idea, they get recovered. Even on here, its a risk and you have to be sure you can trust the seller. Unfortunately acquiring proof is difficult and the best way is to save everything and log your conversation with the seller when you contact them regarding the account. It is important to also know their terms and conditions as well, some of them may be more favorable towards a recovery, so when buying an account, make sure it has a lifetime warranty or at least some way to contact and ask for support from the original owner.

 

If you want to go into detail about your case, please post here:

If you want me to check on this, post your order ID there and I will check what happened so I can give you feedback — and assistance, if I can, depending on the age of the case/order (dependent on what I can pull from our end) and factors that support your claim.

As mentioned by @lazerlyss above, purchasing accounts always entail a form of risk regardless of where you purchase. Otherwise, we would not offer after-sale support and in the same regard, this is not a guarantee — clearly stated by the feature, a support system. The burden of evidence falls on the buyer as the accuser; this is not the responsibility of PlayerAuctions nor the seller. When you make this purchase, the system assumes you are aware of these elements.

This thread is for people gathering information about the viability of RuneScape services in 2022 so this will be my last response about the matter, I don't want to get in the way of everybody about this.

As for your sentiments and non-recommendation of PA, that is of course, fine, as that is your prerogative to write feedback for PA or any service for that matter.

 

Are you writing this down @Verzik Sales ??

 

Services with engrounded market position with returning customers base - yeah
Services without reputation - you can forget about decent incomes, even if you'll charge slavework wages to get some orders you'll get just small % of orders that trusted and reputable services get.

 

yes
