SCAMMER ALERT, $$GGG$$ - we are busy.
" I'm sure that's part of it, I'm a d2 vet myself and man, I remember being scammed back in like 2001-2002 and never forgot. Yes I sometime take like 20-30 sec during an important trade to audibly name the damn important stats of an item JUST to be sure it's the proper item, especially in this league where I trade for various cluster jewels for my necro and occultist. - 2 jewel socket > yup - notable 1, 2 , 3 -> yup - uncorrupted -> yup accepted. |

So in other words oldtimer you are just accepting games with cheats, scams etc.
Well Im not, and I belive that is cureable. Just some determination from GGG, but yea Im the kid whos first pc game was DN3D How, can u tell how old am I? I wont ask If your brain function well, because u probably want to keep it for yourself. But even small information from GGG about banned accounts because of scams in POE, would prevent lot of this shitheads of doing that what they doing right now. Because they would be AFRAID. And yeah I know that mostly its my fault. Last edited by taribo#0064 on May 11, 2020, 6:45:33 PM

" Banning accounts doesn't actually do much at all, because accounts are free, and most of the scammers aren't using their main account to do the scamming. The only way scamming will stop is if there is no longer any reward in doing it, and that will only happen when people stop falling for the scams. |

" Maybe if Chris Wilson acts as arbiter between the trading parties ? Maybe that would help ? I mean people could just use their eyes, but I agree that might be too much to ask for. We play computer games because we want to relax and recover from our hard working days. I should not need to pay attention to anything when playing PoE. I bought a currency tab back then least they could do is provide a proper trade broker that I can trust with my business. |

" So you can't name one game that had no scamming in it.. Seriously, how many conformation screens/boxes do you want? 1st confirmation: hover over, means they want to make sure you check the item/amount you buy.... 2nd confirmation: Are you sure you want to accept what you hovered over? Do you really think this person wouldn't not be scammed if they added a 3rd confirmation box and a 4th and a 5th... really... Last edited by Shadeless01#5109 on May 12, 2020, 3:31:17 AM

The problem is not limited to POE. Nowadays a lot of people are not able or willing to take responsibility for their own actions. It is always the other party that is to blame.
As others have stated already. The POE trading window is actually foolproof. You have to confirm the trade twice. Last edited by QuaidN2#3702 on May 12, 2020, 4:22:33 AM

" The opposite would actually happen. The more checkboxes you have to go through, the more likely people will just try to get past of all the annoyances as quickly as possible; making bait and switch scams even easier. The only thing that helps is if people pay attention to what they are buying like explained plenty of times in this thread. |
