100 Gold For Reading 10 Chapters Of A Novel?

[Elldar.1647]

Honestly the biggest scam in all of this is getting paid only 100 gold for reading whatever nightmares that person's mind has concocted.

They're still at it.  Possibly with more frequency, I keep seeing them in various maps.  It's at 150 gold now.

I was replied to, it was a story about a certain topic, i forget which, it seemed harmless. Like, spaceage/myths or something like that, thats approximately what was said. So, if that be real, whatever, I didnt go farther beyond they replied a typical normal subject, nothing off or odd.

Rmt + known scam. Basically they are trying to get you to promote their ai generated book and using in game gold as payment (rmt). This is to scam people to start spending real money into buying their trash book that you just helped promote.

I mean if you have to pay people to read your book, maybe being an author just isn't in the cards for you lol

I don't think that's the case here.

 

This is a single player with multiple accounts who keeps getting people to read their written book (not audio book). From what I understand its a very basic work, and they seem quite young.

 

I've not heard of them actually sending gold to anyone but they do get upset if you give feedback as the "advertisement" is just to read it, not comment on it. They're also well known for just not replying to people at all, which makes me doubt its a scam. I mean, if you don't even reply to the person with what they're supposed to be reading, you can't get anything out of it anyway.
