Running those Damn Scams!

Hey all,

This is just my first whinge about scammers. It took me three different 'runners' to get me to a place that excapes me at the moment.
The first guy says its 2k to get there and has three attempts at 'getting there' and couldnt and decides to leave the game ripping three other people off in the process (thanksfully i was not one of them).
The second person basically suckered people in including myself (i did not pay him thanks goodness) to believeing he could 'run it' and then once we began he too left the game with other peoples money!!!

Finally i came across someone who would only require payment half way along the journey. The two people who worked together were going well, until one of them dies and leave the other to do it alone as they 'had to go' (this time i had already paid 1k as we had passed halfway) i was nervous he too would die and not get us there. Finally he got us there and i paid my money after waiting 15-17 minutes for him to 'get there' . Then they had the hide to ask for 'tips' (must be american, who else would aks for tips in a Computer Game).

Very annoying very annoying. The main prob was i have to go back and scrape that rediculous area (about 10% worth of map) at some later point if i am to be a cartographer.

Damn those scammers, they have thwarted my increasing 'trust' of the GW community.

So be it, lesson leanr't, thank goodness not the hardest way of all, loosing precious precious money!!

It sucks that people do that sort of thing. I think the best way to gois to pay half when you get half way, and the rest at the end. I would never pay for a run at the start though.

Really, we should have helped you out with that one, Mate. Runs are tough, but there are generally good drops and the chance for skill caps, so with the 4 of us on full and the hero army we are building up, I reckon there shouldn't be any part of the game we can't get to.

P.S. Sometimes we'll get there with 60% death penalty, but that just part of the fun I guess!
