IMO they should go to jail, as its stealing.
Are you 12? Kids rarely get time for stealing ipods, let alone gold pieces in a game.
I'm going to break down the stuff I've learned about luring after being a part of that section of the game for a couple of months:
- Luring is what it is; taking advantage of people that are less intelligent, have less common sense, or have less game knowledge than you.
- ''Treat others how you want to be treated''. Well that's a joke. We aren't in primary school anymore, that's not how the world works. People don't live in harmony in the real world. It's human nature to take an opportunity to better yourself at the cost of another person.
- The 15-16 year old argument is moot. I was luring at 14. The bigger problem at this age on the game is gambling. I've seen kids lose thousands of dollars worth of gold to a stake or a flower game because the hosts manipulated them into betting higher and higher.
- Let's face it, luring is fantastic money if you're good at it. Lower tier lurers can except a set of claws or a bandos piece every 60 minutes if you're effective, higher ones like CLS product can make up to 100M an hour.
- Luring is based off people's greed. I used to simply go around saying that I was hosting a youtube giveaway in the dangerous clan wars portal. The person takes the risk to go in the portal and if he dies, he dies.
- The videos you see on youtube aren't the real thing. Those partyhat lures are not 5 minute jobs. They require potentially hours or days of 'grooming' the target before he is actually lured.
- There are different levels of luring. Luring a long time 'friend' on the game is more severe than picking up people at the GE.
