true. there are more trustworthy people... but then again you have to take in to account the number of players per game.
planeshift has, on a general day, about 80 people playing (average). if there is, say, 30 trustworthy players, that makes the ratio 3:8
now on runescape, on a general day, there is about... ohh, let\'s say 2800 (number of free worlds last time i checked multiplied by 1000 per world. this is obviously far less than actuality, but work with me, here.). and there would probably be around 400 decent people, the ratio being 1:7.
and, evening those out to make it easier to understand: we have 21:56 to 8:56. that\'s 21 (planeshift) to 8 (runescape). don\'t you just love math?
therefore, planeshift is only more trustworthy based on number of player ratio
however, you must throw into account the fact that there are not many items to scam, which will also make money less valuable (since you can\'t really buy anything). the only things you can do that are even scam-like are lying about duels or telling some newbie that ulbernauts are wicked easy. this factor will raise the number of trustworthy players (by lowering the number of untrustworthy players).
when planeshift has more items and more things to do, no doubt the number of cheaters/lyers/scammers will go up. but, as in the real world, there are always those kinds of people. i personally think they add to the realism, though i don\'t condone their behavior. you can\'t have good without having evil, for if evil we lack, then what is good?
