Anyway I agree with Runescape teaching some real world skills. Runescape (and some other multiplayer games) also taught me about scams and I think trained me to be skeptical whenever something seems too good to be true. For a really basic example, that opportunity to double your BTC that Elon Musk is always offering his followers is literally the gp doubling scam, the most common Runescape scam from 2 decades ago.

Isn't this kind of thing illegal with real assets?

  • I'm fairly sure all scams are illegal regardless of the asset because a scam is by definition fraud which is illegal.
