General Discussion - If you have proof you have been scammed ( twitch vod / screenshots ) does the scammer get banned? - Forum

If i scammed you and you used the in game streaming to record the transaction and or took a bunch of screenshots and proved to GGG that i scammed you will i get banned for it? watching bakers stream some guy "allegedly" got scammed for 50 sc exs and people in chat are saying GGG does nothing about it even if there was proof and was jw if this is true? EDIT: IMO trading between leagues is un fair and should be bannable offense. EDIT 2: IF you decide to trade between league USE IN GAME TWITCH STREAMING for 100% proof.

Cross league trading section specifically gives a "Unsafe warning" Sadly the warning goes mostly unnoticed. Also according to GGG Policy if you are "name calling etc" then your post will get removed. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT. Regardless, it's a sad sad system. There's one person in particular (no names) that is constantly scamming people in the cross league section and he will continue to scam as long as he can. I'm an absolute 100% fan of GGG and Path of Exile but this can't continue to happen. Either the cross league trading system is removed or regulated so that no one can get scammed.

Thank you for your fast response however im kinda looking for a yes or no answer, also if this was a legit situation and i did get scammed there would be no need for you to "look into it" because if it happened to me i would know im right.

Another Dev says they will try helping people who do? Now I'm confused. Hopefully I can clear a few things up for you. 1. Bex is not a dev 2. Scamming involves more than cross trading between leagues, in keeping with that Bex is correct. 3. Chris's stance on Cross League trading has been addressed multiple times, and I believe he has said they would like to have steps taken soon to try and curb it.

" [...] EDIT: IMO trading between leagues is un fair and should be bannable offense. [...] Chris, the GGGuy, hinted that he dislikes the cross-league trading and feels like it is cheating. Maybe they bury down the Cross-League trading forum for good on release and make it a ban-able offense after an initial warning.	Posted by Nightmare90 on Oct 2, 2013, 9:59:23 PM Quote this Post
