Renting out 'Trusted Dicers'

[Bl0w Ranq]

I don't know if this is already against the rules, but people should not be able to rent out what they call 'Trusted Dicers'.
It's a too easy way to get scammed, what happened to me today.
He didnt want to do a 5M, he wanted a big one.
It already seemed fishy to me, but then i decided to give it a go though.
As soon as i traded over the other 35M from my account, he ddosed me, and i felt it coming already.
Why would people anyways rent out trusted dice accounts, they know it's a too easy way to lose their reputation.

Conclusion:
It's too easy to get scammed with this sort of services (renting 'Trusted Dicers')
Every thread, renting these sort accounts should be locked immediately, to prevent scams.
If this is already against the rules, i did not find it, and please ignore, and lock this then.
If it's not, i would like to hear you're opinions about it.

Its also easy to scam having a skill training and questing service, yet we have those services.

That's different, because if you skill for someone, you won't put money on it, so there is no point for those people to scam you.
When renting a dicer, there is nothing of value on it, and they make you put you're money on it.
They are sure, you won't scam, because there is no value on the account anyways, untill you put it on there.

how about u just ruin his reputation on his account instead of putting money on it?

Well, simply said, there is no reputation.
They claim the dicer is trusted, and when you log into the account, people will ask you for big pots.
However, that guy that asked for that big pot, is the same kid that rented you the dicer.
In all opinions, this is a clever scam, and easy for those that know how to use it.

I'm not getting what you're saying. Trusted dicers?

People are claming, they got an account, which is trusted in the dicing community.
They claim a group of people are willing to dice with him, up to big prices.
So to say it simple, They got an trusted account, which does 56x2 or W/E and people are willing to place bids up to 100M to those accounts.
So, you rent the account, put 100M on it to dice, and as soon as you've put the money on the account, they ddos you.
So the guy who rents you the account, is the person that wants to place a big bet.
So, the account is not trusted, it's just a scam.

I wouldn't trust them, also it's easy to get scammed from them. I've been lose some golds. So regreted, should not have been to play with it.

Don't see how on earth you fell for it without a clan chat full of people to add persuasion, one person asking to do a wager makes this scam very obvious.

I think there still are legit people out there, i decide to give them some trust, and then shit happens.
I'm not complaining about my 40M, i just want to prevent other people from this scam.
It's an attractive deal.

I think this is similar to the rule that makes account giveaways against the rules. I'd like to see this happen as well.

It is in someway, true.

So a total ban on borrowing accounts is what your asking ? such as dicing, staking accounts ?

There are enough trusted staking accounts, rent from those people.
Dicing is just too easy to fake, and scam.
I think a total ban on dicing accounts is a good step to prevent scams.
Also, dicing and staking accounts are a little bit different though.

 

[iBuyStoof]

way to risky, i would never risk my dicing position like that.

 

[ritzbits]

it's a bit hard to explain but renting out dicing account is a terrible idea, it would be a huge opportunity to scam an unsuspecting player who thinks they're trusted; the owner should be responsible for their dicing account and should not share it.

 

[Toploader]

Yep, it should be forbidden.

 

[ViTa1z]

Bl0w Ranq, I really don't understand why you were renting out a trusted dicer's account anyway..

were you planning to use it to scam?..

I think it is a bit harsh to outright ban all renting whatsoever. Botting up a beastly staker is fairly easy (meaning we'd be banning a lot of potentially good trades), but there are only a small handful of legit dicers. For dicers, the potential for a scam vastly outweighs the potential for a good trade; in staking, the balance is the opposite.

 

[Crazy old ppl]

The whole dicing/gambling is a sham.
It's way to easy to scam, just like the flower game.
Hmmm give a lot of money with nothing in return, and trust a random person to pay you if you win? Hmmm... sounds alot like..
"trimming all armour for free"
"legit doubling"
If I were you I wouldn't even bother with it, thats just my input however.
