scammers deserve punishment.

Someone just scammed me for a uberlab trial, it's a guy with russian name.
Small matter actually but how hardup must one be to scam even 1c?

Karma will get them eventually.

Just let it go.
I have an Alien pet.

Charan, you're usually writing very smart, and well thought-out posts, but this one is just over the top conspirationist drivel, going completely off-topic. I get that you're disappointed in the Tencent buyout, I am too. But posts like these are not painting *you* in a good light.

GGG's laissez faire approach to "scammers" (in quotes, because they do not break any rules, just naive players' misplaced trust) has been known for years before the buyout, there's no reason to connect the two.

Sorry, am I unfairly assuming your species here?



Not idiot enough to get scammed by a person with IQ below than potato
Why do you get scam?? When you trade you see what you trade, so you just get scammed because you are dumb. Paying people to do uber labs or uber shit's?? Make a build that can do it, if you can´'t do it, forget that build, do another one. Why you are paying people to run things for you, the objective is to do things your self.

I'm great, i can do all content... oh sorry, i pay for people to do the things for me because i can't do shit with shity build..... i will start my political career right now xD

I imagine you've never really fairly quantified the IQ of people around you in general, let alone legumes and tubers. You don't strike me as someone particularly gifted with empathy for others.

Still, why potato? I hear cabbages are the traditional idiots of the vegetable world. Do you have something against potatoes or something? Did one of them do something so overwhelmingly stupid you decided potatoes are the standard for incredibly low IQs?

Or did you just pick a vegetable at random and figure, hey, they're all stupid, this will do? Must be those squinty little eyes they have. Fucking potatoes, always up to something.

Now I'm imagining what sort of scam a potato would try to pull off. Convincing someone it's a sweet potato, maybe.

Point being, it's easy to call someone an idiot for being fooled when they're not you, and again, *everyone* has been fooled by someone.

Probably not by a potato though.



Why do you even try act like smartass? The discussion is about people getting scammed in a game not if you have been idiot once in your life so if you get scammed in a game then you are an idiot and deserve to be scammed becuz those scammers are using so cheap tricks that only idiots would fall for it

Eh, please point out where I connected the two in any conspiratorial sense. I'll try to clarify my intentions, because at no point did I want to allude that this has much at all to do with the transition of GGG into TencentGGG other than it opens up the chance for the domestic PoE's built-in marketplace to pick up the slack and bring overdue order to the chaos. Or is my usage of 'TencentGGG' confusing you? That's just what I call the company now, and will for as long as the company known as GGG is owned, effectively, by Tencent. Which I imagine will be a while yet, so I suggest you get used to it. As my spoiler said, maybe don't read into that either.

I think it was indeed mostly the use of "TencentGGG", "$" in "Dollar$" and derogatory-sounding "Father Chris-mas", in combination with overall tone of your post. You are right that you did not explicitly state the connection, it was just that that was the sentioment I got from in-between the lines in your post. Perhaps I read too much into what wasn't there. Still, the childish terms I mention here kind of cheapen whatever point you were making.

I guess it reminds me of terms like "Micro$oft", "Winblows" or "Winsux" back in Slashdot and even pre-Slashdot days, whenever Microsoft's shady business practices and FUD anti-opensource campaigns were discussed online - it was hard to take anyone using them seriously, and not see them as an angsty 13 years old nerd yelling at computer in mom's basement.

I've been gently honest about my depictions of PoE and GGG for years. The soft watercolour glow of Middle Zealand's lovely landscapes is gone. It's all hard edges and crass scrapes of thick paint depicting layer upon layer of unleashed, pent-up frustration now. Different paintings, same artist. Call it my 'Holy Fuck He Finally Lost It' Phase, if you want. You'd be wrong, but it's as good a name as any.

Loving the poetry in this paragraph. :)

If they changed the rule structure to "punish" scammers, those players who are currently scamming you would simply change their game to getting you in trouble and "punished" for something you had no intention of doing. Happens in every game that tries this. More innocent players are punished than scammers. They get good at getting people into trouble.
Gun laws? Don't get the connection.
Sorry, but I don’t understand all OP’s rage associated with “scammers”. What 'scam' is it all about? Someone took his currency for making it through the "uber lab" and ran away? In this case, the biggest problem is not “scammer”, but build, which is not able to defeat "Uber Izaro", because when it comes to traps, you still have to go alone.

Every other “scams” are childish. “Switching items” scam is about 18 years old, I don’t know anyone who would now be deceived in this way. What else? In my opinion transactions, when somebody buys Tabula rasa for 2 ex and then suddenly realizes that armor is worth 15c is not scam, as anybody is able to do proper price check, without any intellectual effort. So what scams are we talking about here?
