Every single day, every moment, in every world, there are people at GE pulling scams. I find this disheartening.

Please find a solution to the GE price estimates. The irony is players are getting scammed by Jagex. If GE says X item is worth X price, anyone would assume that was the current value. Only much of the time the item is not worth anywhere near what GE says it is worth.

Please do whatever you have to do to discourage player to player trades. I understand a max cash solution is coming but what good is it when we now have a tax that will discourage people from using the GE.

Lastly I see the same people scamming day after day after day. Is there no punishment for scamming?

I literally cannot go to world 2 and advertise to sell an item without at least two people trying to scam me. Can you put mods in world 2 and do sting operations and get rid of these people? The more money they make, the more power and influence these people have over the game, spreading their disease.

I understand completely. Although I do see a lot of player mods actively keeping up with this. Most consider it to be to great a task to be constantly surveying it. The fact is scammers will always exist and will try any method to obtain your items.

The problem is so many slip through the cracks undetected. As you can imagine most of the people doing this are using throwaway accounts meaning their actual investment in the account is close to nothing. Therefore the risk of their account being banned has little to no effect on their decision.

With that being said you can still prevent this by being aware. I understand your frustration however take a positive from it that because you are aware you can avoid something bad happening. Have a wonderful day and keep your head up.

The max-cash lift should help. Though I suspect they'll have to manually set the prices of certain things. We can't rely on the G/E to update us if people avoid using it due to tax.

If it's the same people scamming, replacing M with K for example, download OBS, record a clip of them doing it, send it to that 'tip off' email Jagex has, that might help. Who knows.
