Rushing Scam...Any Ideas? - DisposableHero - 11-05-2005
So here's the scam, when I've completed rushing up until forge they go through your tp and grab the hammer and open a tp. Then they just wait until you leave to pop the hellforge.
I've tried everything I can think of, I've tried to out wait them, I've tried to lure monsters around their tp, none of it worked. Anyone have any suggestions on how to stop these people?

Don't scam?

are u saying that you just wait inside with a tp to hellforge and remain afk until the rusher gets bored and leaves?
There is one thing that i think could go wrong with this scam:
Once the rusher realizes what you're doing, he'll probably lure a shitload of monsters outside your tp, then leave.

Thats the fun of rushing people on a game that is mostly played by 12 year olds...so all you can do is deal with it.. get the game to drop somehow...if it bothers you that much.. don't rush anyone..

don't stop rushin... cuz then people like me who are honest are affected and i don't mind givin up my forge for someone's patience to rush me. of course i can give you this advice, rush because its fun not just for the rewards. when i get a character that can pwn all 3 difficulties i either pvp everyone or i give out free/forge rushes. you do it cuz the game is fun not cuz you might get a crappy rune.

some of you have made the mistake thinking he is trying to scam. from what i am reading it sounds like he is trying not to get scammed. i've seen a few strategies for not getting scammed out of forges when your rushing...the one i've seen that seems to have the best chance of working is not giving any waypoints till after you get the forge. this probably wont help if the person has a friend who can just give them the waypoints later though
really the only way you can prevent being scammed is to not rush people you dont know...and charging people you do know for rushes is kind of screwed up

like i said do it cuz you want to not cuz there's a reward.

how would that help him? that would be the same thing as if the person left. the person gets a free rush to a4 and he still doesnt get forge...

rushing is pointless for a reward, all that time and u have a chance to gt an ist at best.
Rushing Scam...Any Ideas? - dkim - 11-05-2005

Many of you misinterpereted my initial post. I am not trying to scam. I am merely searching for a way to stop getting scammed.

Best you get is a Gul, and I've gotten quite a few. Regardless, its the only reason I have the items I have today. I dont know where I'd be without rushing people for their forge, I'd be much poorer I know that much. It only takes me about 20 minutes to rush someone so I'd say its about a fair trade off. I'm just sick of people scamming me.

You can't stop someone from scamming, remember the IQ of the people you play with in this game, no one is trustable unfortunately. You have to live with it while playing this game, we are all tired of it. Sorry
And people please read the thread a bit before making assumptions.
Immortal I believe he/she is talking about rushing, not getting rushed.

you have to be kind of a jerk to ask friends for payment for rushes...and they are definitely not an @$$hole for wanting to keep it, everyone wants to keep their own forge

This isn't a scam. This is about being decent or not. Ofc u take a risk every time you rush... Pointless post
However to avoid getting scammed, and I do this EVERYTIME, is request for smthng as guarrantee. Then its up to the guy u are rushing to trust you or not and you can't really lose. Don't ask too much. A Mal or item of the same value is OK and most serious players will give it to you. If the HQ drop is better they may still keep it and leave you with the guarrantee, but getting nothing at all is worse.
People that will refuse to give you ANYTHING of value are probably gonna try to scam you anyway.

i dont rush for forges i just do it for fun and alonG the way i find some good stuff like i picked up a trap gc 3 hate keys from summoner on uswest ladder 1 rush.
Rushing Scam...Any Ideas? - commandwolf - 12-02-2005
its still sorta sad these days, i see hammerdins with no maphack or enigmas taking half an hour to rush people for their forges and then get ditched in act4. Another bad scam is that some people will trigger the forge drop and try to take the rune themselves. 50/50 chance i guess
