Yesterday on my weekly trip to world 2 I noticed that rares have droped in price because of the upcoming hunter skill release, but thats really not my point.

When is removing the item before you decline the trade against the rules? Due to the recent rare price drop I decided to buy an easter. Later that same day I was back out selling it,why you may ask? simply because I rememberd that when ever I buy rares, they drop in price about 2m.

I am doing normal sales 'Selling easter 13m' getting maybe 1 to 2 trades an hour, then here comes 1 person, trades me like 100 times, thinking I might actually get a sale I accepted almost instantly. I put up the egg and he puts of 11M cash and nothing else. Thinking to me self 'gahh I knew that was going to happen' I remove the easter egg then hit decline. Almost 10 seconds later hes like 'haha owned I reported you, you ganna get banned for item scaming'. I had a little conversation with him..

'who me?'
'yes you scammed me'
'how'
'you took the item out of the trade window!'
'yes, but then I hit decline'

we argued at bit longer, but really nothing to be said.

Now before you go all 'If you hadnt removed it that would have never happend' let me tell you why i do it

As many members know, and maybe some nonmembers, world 2 is very crowded and can get very very laggy depending on your internet connection. A long time ago (year or year and a half) I was selling something in world 2, then After I had hit decline I had knoticed that the item I was selling was no longer in my pack. NO I WAS NOT WEARING IT. I had lost the item due to trade-lag, and ever since then when ever I trade in massly populated worlds, or when im lagging I always remove the item then decline.

So when has removing the item and then declining become one of the things that people use to accuse you of scamming?

And this was not some remove the item, wait 2 minuets then decline, it was remove the item and less than 2 seconds later decline.

I would like you hear your opinions on this.

yeah man ive been in the same situation before on world 1 and other crowded places. lagg runs rampant. but it definitely isnt your fault and the guy shouldnt have reported you. maybe if it was like 2 minutes before you hit decline but it was only 2 seconds. the guy just doesnt know what hes talking about but i think he was mixed up. i think for if it is to count as a scam you would have had to remove the item and then hit accept, not decline. that way it would be a scam. but because you hit decline you have nothing to worry about.

and by the way did jagex contact you?

Ya, he's the fool if he tried to report you for declining a trade.

"Item switching" is a common scam that should be reported. But that's only rapidly switching items and going thru with trades, not declining them.

I been scammed a couple times by item switchers in the past. Now I pretty much stay off worlds 1 and 2. For the most part, I just can't find what I want there, too much chat. I can't keep up. I see someone selling something I want, I can't find them. Too crowded, too busy.

Whats the big deal? You already won when you declined the trade, I wouldn't worry about anything with you, and the trade lag thing I guess doesn't happen much anymore, only to like 56kers I would think.

As I told you in-game: This is NOT a reportable offense and if by some strange stretch of the imagination, you get a black mark for it, you need to appeal it immediately. The decline button is there for a reason. Since you hit decline, there is no scam.

I personally think this moron was someone looking to report as many people as possible in the hopes of being made a player moderator.

We need a hall-of-shame to post the names of these kinds of idiots.

Ace, honestly, where do you keep getting this from, you keep us ircer's laughing. Nonetheless, it doesnt, its a pointless rare which heals 12. Please, and im not backseat modding here, but stop making stupid posts and/or leave Runeweb

Teh_Evil also sends his regards for you to get hit by a cement truck

On Topic: People just want to become pmods, if you decline, jagex can't do anything to you. You did nothing wrong.

the best defence against item switchers is to wait.when the trade window opens u put ur offer then wait.don't push nothing.even if u accept,firstly look what u gonna trade for what.only after that push the final accept.
with this method i report more then 5 people every time i go to world 1.
