First of all: scamming is simply admitting that you are a ***** that is too noob to get decent items on your own.
Secondly: I disagree that botting is cheating. Actions cease to be cheating when the actions turn into competing.
Thirdly: hands down. the best and most effective way to get rich is by learning the trade values and finding good trades. If i lost everything including characters, id build a shitty tal rasha sorcy and bot the hell out of her for a few days to collect some decent trade goods, then i'd get on the real hunt. Have a kick *** 90 hammerdin in 2 weeks TOPS, few days if i played like some of you fellas.
Trading tips: always good to have low, but in demand items such as shako, angelic rings and ammy, occulus, hoz, wizardspike etc etc etc...you would be amazed what kind of stuff people will give when they are a bit noobish, or just started again and going off >.10 prices. it can be done and it can be done quickly.
example of a couple hours of trading:
purchaced a 3-20-18 for about 4 mals worth of gear (four peices of gear worth a mal a piece if i was selling, an um a piece if i was buying, perfectly minimum stat 1os coa, dirt low arach, a decent rare ring with fcr and res all, and a crap gc)
created about 3-4 rooms negotiating and figuring out exactly what people would pay for it (set price high and keep lowering until they quit "LOL'ing" you.
ended up trading the 3-20-18 for 8 ists.
just as i was about to quit for the day, satisfied after a good quick profit, I entered a trade room, and just as i was bout to hit quick esc key, druid enters room asking for a shako. i had one so i decided to go see what he had...about the third item he put down was a +2 sorc circlet with 30% R/w 20% fcr 1X res all, and minor life mod. i asked what he wanted for circlet and he begged me to give him shako for it... i felt bad, but didnt want to spoil the deal and have him think his circlet was worth more than the shako, so i agreed and traded, but told him to hang on and gave him some more shit to clear my concience. I'm good enough not to have to resort to an admission of noobishness such as scamming people to make profit.
I gurantee no one tries to scam me in real life without having the security of hiding behind a computer monitor. Not trying to talk like im a BAMF but im just saying no one got fears of repurcussion when thier nerdy pimply arsed nose cant be bashed in. If i was going to hack peoples accounts it would be anyone and everyone who created an : i dupe room, or cheap enigma here room, et cetera... wouldnt be worth the items id get cause i doubt id ever get anything godly from some noob still caught up with trying to scam people compared to the shit i could have traded for in the same time. would be worth the satisfaction, though, in putting you noobs in your place.
I hate lag, i hate random C/I, i hate when a 5 high rune pcombat drops and someone does rollback while im letting the beer back out of my system and i come back and my goodies didnt get saved. but more than anything I HATE A NOOB THAT THINKS HE'S A BADASS.
