Ban "landmine" trade scammers extension

As once again game is plagued with scammers and cheaters and GGG seems to do nothing about it, I wonder how hard it would be to make a community browser extension which would automatically ignore all the "landmine" scammers who put 30 div map in the middle of bunch of 30 chaos maps.
(just watched the video of some streamers falling for that - hilarious)

So for people with technical know-how the question is - how hard is it to do?
And for general audience - would you install it? Is there a demand for it?

Here's a better idea, how about reading what's on your screen?

Don't go zoom-zoom through trade.

Currently, it's easy to make the mistake of mispricing something, I did it twice already, from 25c to 25D, and the reason is, the pricing window remembers your last value.

Just pay more attention to what you're doing, why do people expect GGG to babysit everything?

How dare you?

Yeah, I really don't see this happening. It's hard to distinguish between a scammer and an honest mistake. I agree that 90% of the time yeah, it's probably a scammer. But imagine you're an honest, normal player and you accidentally list smth for 10 div instead of 10c and suddenly half the playerbase has blocked you and you don't even know.

Also, as a person who has been scammed in game as well as IRL, I agree that yes it sucks. But it's also your fault for not paying attention, and it can be a great learning experience.

Some scams are obvious, but some are less so, and if we went in this direction there would at some point be a very fine line between scamming and actually trying to make an honest profit or just plain ignorance.

People will always find ways to cheat and abuse something. It's your job to protect yourself from it. And again, this is coming from someone who has been scammed and knows how bad it feels. Been checking stuff very carefully ever since.

But but but, it effects my divines/hr if i read.

We had this discusion also in the poe 2 forum and im wondering why are there so many people that dont understand how humans work.

You cant pay always 100% attention to everything, thats just impossible. Thats why we have accidents every day all over the world.

The only thing you can do is to move your valuable currency out of your currency tab to prevent this happening.
Im would appreciate if there would be some kind of protection against that.

Gotta pay attention OP really all that is.


You can ask support if its reportable and send in evidence.

It would be pretty clear they are attempting a scam. They had to use the drop down and then select divines so its not like that could be an accident.

Exactly, its called a dummy tax not a scam.

Workaround in the meantime is to type 'chaos' or divine' in the search bar. It will highlight what the item is listed in.

Can still zoom while not failing at minesweeper.


Actually this wouldnt work if they made a map 100c instead of 1c.
