Look at this...2 players in giran selling soul ore at the name of crystals A grade...ibought 20 trying to make *** to make money for my char....after i bought it and saw that was soul ore i got desperated!
My luck was that a girl close to me saw everything and gave exatly the money i lost...
i really wanted to have something to punish this type of player.
I am affraid everyone us walks in to such a trap. I did too... long ago :P. But since then trading with people I don't really know and buying I always check and double check the actual name of the items and the price.
Only this guy will not earn a lot with his scamming, I think. Who buys less then 100 spiritsshots? And when you try to buy more then available on a vendor you get a nice purple warning these days....
But with other items/prices it may be a successfull scam... specially when people are in a hurry :(
yes look very close sometimes farmers scam themselves. Clan mate bought a majestic helm for 9.5mil. the seller was selling A wep enchants clan mate bought one the seller stood up and replaced the bought enchant with a majestic helm but at the same price as the enchant.
Haha, priceless. x.x Don't tempt me to buy random farmer enchants please!
The scam I fell for was quite devious - it was a store with three items, one of them overpriced, and two of them so that you'd make a slim profit selling to NPC. Unfortunately, I was feeling too insecure to check whether the third item was really a good deal or not, and so I lost (to my horror) 10k.
Since then, I've been careful.
As I said: Better learned on a small than a large scale.
