Be careful out there, now I don't talk to anyone in game unless they're my clan mates! Give people a chance. I'm sorry you got scammed, but ignoring the rest of the community like that is what leads to people having the idea the community is trash. It's pretty easy to avoid most scams if you aren't being greedy, like you were there. Don't punish the entire community because you were greedy once.

This whole lack of community spirit is why things like minigames and pvp are so dead. People just hole up and don't interact with anybody.

I've been dumb, like your post below stated and I don't deny that but when half the people who come up to talk to me just want to scam me, it makes me not want to talk to them. I get what Abby is saying, the community can be rough.

Most of the people who are friendly and want to talk are in discord or in clan chats, people just don't talk anymore in game as the game is mainly an AFK grind. I've tried talking to people during afk sessions myself but they won't and like I said, when I get approached it's people trying to set up a scam. Yes I can tell if it's a scam or not. Remember when you said we deserved to be scammed for being dumb (Which I agree). Well I've gotten smarter and now I'm not putting myself in that situation again....by not talking to people. Like you said, it was my fault but I refuse to let it happen again. It's just how I'm going to stay safe. Extreme? Yes but I don't want it to happen again. I've seen some pretty elaborate scams that didn't prey on greed but preyed upon kindness. Just saying

You only need a few good friends. It doesn't matter if the majority of players are not the type of people you want to mix with. Even the scammers manage to make friends. Just keep trying and you'll find like-minded folk. If you want something bad enough, take initiative. Bob says:

Never give your password out to anyone.

Runescape/Jagex are about money. Only. If you get insulted or harassed, they could care less as long as the cash rolls in.

thats entirely untrue. dont spread dangerous misinformation like that

do jagex care about money, of course they are a company if they didnt theyd go bankrupt we would have no runescape to play, but to say they dont care about harassment is a grossly misguided claim with no evidence. they take harassment incredibly seriously.

It's not that they don't care about harassment. It's that they have no qualms about harassing the players themselves to the point they think it's better to stop playing.
