Uber upgrade?

how about PROVING that these sites do dupe and bot, instead of just flaming me, and saying you JUST KNOW that they do?

Well, proving every site may be time consuming and annoying. I think we can determine a general trend in such sites, and stick with that.

Say, for example the site that hosts Chippy's skill calculator. Search the AB for posts by the user "jesse". He/she is the owner of that site, and openly admits to selling dupes/hacks in the past.

Have you looked at some of these other sites? They commonly list a quantity column for *rares*. That tends to strike me as a bad sign. Read the FAQs on such sites. They often have instructions on how to avoid having items deleted.

And as for the runewords, well think about it. How many ZODs do you really think are found every day? It can't even be a tiny fraction of the amount that are sold. The drop %s are simply too low for there to be thousands of them out there.

Well, the botting is harder to prove. You are right, there is no actual way to prove that a site is botting its items. But considering the lack of morals that are already apparent, it's not exactly a leap of faith to assume that botting goes on.

Now, if you can prove a site is *not* botting or dealing in hacks/dupes, than that will be something. :D
