" You are right, he did basically brush aside your point but I believe he in a roundabout vague way points to what is likely the conclusion of this discussion. GGG created a system to protect trades for the portion of the game that they have seen fit to do so. At some point they have to take the training wheels off and let players learn/fend for themselves. The areas not covered by the trading window fall more into the 'enter at your own risk' type territory. Tell yourself what you tell your child:  Thanks for all the fish!

" and what are those items? since drops and currency are all of the items in the game, you just said that there are more valuable items... than the items in the game..... that doesnt make any sense. also ive been scammed 3 times in closed beta, when there was no trade window, we had to do drop trades in mudflats/old fields, they never did anything about scammers but fortunately with the new trade window you have to be really fucked up or stupid to get scammed.

" Scamming is simply to vague to put into the TOS, particularly since the majority of the player-base can't even agree on what a scam is (even though I think it's pretty straightforward). Further, GGG doesn't have an army to respond and investigate. I had an account flagged as a bot once -- that investigation took quite a while before they cleared my account as not a bot. Imagine if you piled on the "FadeXF traded me 2 chaos for my 10 exalts, and then I learned the exalts are worth more" type reports. (BTW, that's not a scam for anyone reading) Weeding through the garbage would be quite tedious. GGG has to draw the line somewhere. Trading things that are equipment and currency seems like a good line. Trading services is quite a bit of work to police and/or build a framework around in the code. I agree this is a scumbag thing to do, and I personally hope people learn to take great care in these areas. At this point, if I were to engage a service -- it would only be with appropriate collateral or payment after services rendered....but it's more fun to do it myself :) Thanks for all the fish!

Scams are allowed and not regulated. Feel free to scam up the place with a second account. The devs don't care and neither do the players.
A good rule of thumb is 7x scam for every time you get scammed. That way you make a profit. |

" Yes, and "the funniest thing" in this is that, according to the Dunning–Kruger effect, you will not be able to convince those "stupid" people (who were "scammed") that they were stupid enough to fall for "scam"; and won't be able to explain why exactly they were stupid. On top of that, in the end you'll be even labelled as "defender of the scammer" That's why there are "don't turn over the cup with hot coffee" labels and "don't dry cat in microwave" notifications exist now. That's sad... Remember, suffering is convenient.
That is why many people prefer it. Happiness requires effort. |

IF some1 is too stupid to get scammed, they deserve it,period..
also GGG is not your babysitter to look after you when you cry about scams etc.. Squirrel is love, Squirrel is life.
