" oh sorry I must be as bad than nazis xDDDD Sorry I don't feel bad, I never bought something the original price and never will. |

" Eh, not point in arguing. Anybody wanna try to give some real arguments in favour of the scammer, rather than cheap rhetorics? Save a Carrot, Eat a Rabbit!

< not affacted by this shit
< no shop, no trade, no problems this community was taught by ggg to be exiles... be sneaky, hostile, use every advantage, don't post your discoveries, deal with people you would never deal with in rl, and ofc -> alwas protect the scam/scammer (no name n shame bla) ... if you want to participate in this gomorrah do it on your own risk and without being surprised you got fu**ed by an exile occasionally. Have a problem with something I said? PM goetzjam don't derail a thread.

" I offered a possible explanation, but the consensus of the responses was dismissive of that scenario. My impression is that you have made up your mind and that nothing and nobody will sway you, so the back and forth is futile. Only the person knows what their intention was, and they can't be named or asked, and they probably won't post in the thread. It only highlights that PoE would benefit from a different trading system, but this is the kind of situation that can only be remedied by an automated buyout system, and that was categorically ruled out. GGG can't be expected to police this, so it remains up to each player to keep track of their prices. | |
" I am sorry you felt dismissed. I don't believe that you were. But the point is not to decide whether the accused is guilty or not. That is indeed impossible and quite useless. The fact is that the scamming method presented in the OP is a possibility, which is very probably used by a few people (at the very least one, by his own admission in this thread). The more people are aware of that possibility, the better. And then the discussion deviated towards whether it is right or wrong to lie in the virtual world of Wreaclast. I absolutely agree that a different trading system would make things better. The disease cannot be cured, but it can be treated. Save a Carrot, Eat a Rabbit!

" Gah I forgot we live in a society with no accountability at all. The future is grim. Reminds me of the dumbass in my guild 2 days ago who got "scammed" because some guy offered him 60c for an item that was really worth 5-10ex but he sold it without checking poe.trade and only found out after when he received another much bigger offer...but the problem was of course not him but the "scammer" Remember kids....we are all victims and we have no control on our lives. Our failures are not failures but the failures of others...we just have to figure out who and point fingers. Last edited by Kezz123#5086 on Jan 25, 2016, 11:20:18 AM

" it's your guildie's fault for not checking |

You know you are getting old when you read threads like these.
People in "my time" learned to be accountable and responsible. So what I do is this...and I expect nobody here to follow suit... When I receive an offer, I actually search the item and ensure the price is still valid. What if the price went up due to demand increasing? what if the price im given by the buyer is incorrect. Id rather not blame others for things that I have 100% the power to prevent. I also dont believe in asking the Devs to waste their time trying to protect me from....myself. So I do what adults in my time did...I spend extra time where i feel there is value doing so in order to prevent regrets. |
