Original Content:

I've edited this thread because it gave false impressions, and was unfair as I only supported one side of the argument for reasons of bitterness and deceit. This thread will now be used to weigh the pros and cons of buying an account so that you are aware of what you're getting yourself into when purchasing one.

Pros & Cons of buying an account

Pros:

- You save time
- Many prerequisites are prepared and finished for you

Cons:

- The account you buy will always be recoverable by the original owner of the account
- You cannot recover the account yourself
- You are at risk of being punished for acts committed on the account prior to purchase

The Breakdown

You save time:

You save the time needed to do everything the account has already done at the time of purchase.

Many prerequisites are prepared and finished for you:

Objectives and achievements that you would've sought for if you created your own account are already completed for you. You don't need to spend the time and effort to do these things which makes the account more appealing.

The account you buy will always be recoverable by the original owner of the account:

It doesn't matter when you buy the account, the length from when you bought the account, and how long you spend time playing the account. The account will always be recoverable by the original owner. This condition was set by Jagex to assure rightful ownership of accounts, and to dissuade the act of buying accounts.

You cannot recover the account yourself:

It is not possible to recover the account yourself. It does not matter if you have all the information related to the account. If you aren't the original owner (which can be determined through log tracking the original IP/ISP/Location of account creation), you cannot recover the account.

You are at risk of being punished for acts committed on the account prior to purchase:

Acts like real world trading, macroing, and account sharing can be delayed to receive punishment, and because of that, you are at risk of being punished for these acts while you are in possession of the account.

The Conclusion

Buying a runescape account is very dangerous, that's a given. Does that mean you shouldn't buy an account? Perhaps, but it also means that you need to take the necessary steps to assure these risks presented are minimized to the fullest extent if you still intend on doing so. This can be done by buying accounts from highly trustworthy users. The only thing keeping your account from being taken or banned after purchase is trust. This is something you should always keep in mind when buying an account.
