because it DOES happen, i've seen the offense logs of people who were banned for "trasnferring botted goods"- it WAS pre 2007 but still i'd rather be overly cautious than banned
so a lvl 3 f2p mule is sufficient? good enough for me
What people don't realize is that by using a mule you're just increasing your chances of getting caught. If you trade it to a level 3 mule and let it sit, you have absolutely no reason for doing so. And there's absolutely no doubt in Jagex's mind (if they even have one/care) that you're for sure transferring. If you just trade it straight to your main and use it for something, it seems more like a friend and doesn't raise as many flags.
In this case, being "overly cautious" will just make you even more susceptible to getting banned.
Is drop trading any safer? I did like 4 drops trades today between my main and mules. I use 3-4 different mules though, I really hope Jagex doesn't care. Xo
