Does Anet not care about scammers? It is so easy for scammers that im
thinking about becoming one.I mean hell what can u do, /report and what ?
report as a (bot,leecher or my fav spammer) ooh and hope they dont know
about leaving a dis so they cant be reported woot great report system there.
Or you can go thro all the trouble at support and try to make yourself belive
they got banned.
Why cant Anet just put scammer on the /report and take that rule about
being in the same dis out?
Why has Anet made it so easy for scammers

Also, I thought I read somewhere that the stance on scammers was basically "buyer beware" as they don't want to police every transaction....

it's not easy for scammers because the trade system is pretty full proof. unless you're a comlpete RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing moron you won't get scammed

2 & a half years playing, I've never been scammed. Not needed.

Scamming isn't as easy as you think. As long as you look at the trade before you click accept, you won't get scammed.

And for the record i never said i got scammed im just sick of seeing all the scammers and how easy it is for them.
It needs to be made easyer for us to report them so we can cut down on the scammers

Because the majority are stupid, it's not A-nets fault.

It's easy for scammers because people are gullible.
If people were smart enough to look at the trade screen and not drop things outside for a screenshot cover for the recent edition of Playboy, then scammers would probably just give up.

Shit happens. Its a game, learn from it and move on.
There will always be people try to scam someone in any aspect of life, wether it be a game, or with some stupid pyramid bullshit in real life. Use restraint, investigate what you're doing, and learn from your mistakes.

Anet doesn't make it easy for scammers. The ones being scammed do.
Use common sense. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Triple-check before clicking "accept". Don't drop your crap on the ground outside, ever.

whitedragon, guessing youve been scammed one to many times. if thats the case dont get mad at Anet for your foolishness, ive been play for what will soon be 3 years and i have never been scammed. i think it may have something to do with just thinking.

ArenaNet doesn't care about scammers and they seem preoccupied with real money traders to the point where it has been hurting their reputation and innocent users. For an example, a guild mate was recently banned and her account was marked for buying a couple stacks of iron with in game gold from a known real money trader in olafstead, though this guild mate did not know this user was a real money trader
I myself was recently scammed about a month ago and after reporting and going through a long fight with ArenaNet I can confirm to you that they do nothing about it. I and many others have now been having a long fight with this scammer as he continues to try and abuse other users. I haven’t discussed this much here at guru since it would be closed as I suspect this thread will be shortly.
They also don't seem to care if you buy accounts with in game gold since this scammer and others I know have done just that.
There are a few other reasons why you are seeing more scammers now:
One being the fact the game is turning into a grind game (in an effort to try and keep people playing so that it delays the inevitable ghost town guild wars is becoming).
Another is the fact people want more money for titles, pets, armor etcetera.
Finally the most glaring reason would be the awful trading system Guild Wars has, to the point where I believe it to be the worst trading system of any currently active major MMO game.
If you were scammed I suggest that you only trade with users that you trust and even then always take pictures. Otherwise use auction sites such as the quality auction site guru has here.

Best part is when I tell them someone is a scammer and buying it over 5k is too high, they still buy it for 15k, and try to sell it for other people for 20k.
How do you like that math?

People dumb enough to get scammed aren't smart enough to use /report.
Also, you don't need a "scammer" option on a /report. An a.net employee looks over all /report cases' chat logs. They will see what happened. Just report them for... anything.

3 years playing...never been successfully scammed. I've seen through every last one attempted on me.
How about...use common sense? Don't be gullible? Research prices? Its not anet's fault. Its the stupid people who want duplicate items and sit there dropping their crap on the ground.

While all these "don't get scammed" messages are all fine and dandy, it IS a poor report system that doesn't give good choices for the reason and doesn't allow the name THAT YOU TYPED IN! to be accepted for some stupid "not in district" reason.
OP is perfectly correct in suggesting this

Scamming is in no way easy in this game. let me give you a run down of the trade system.
trader puts something in, he submits offer, you see it, you think that its not fair you click decline...OR you see that it is a fair you put in your money/item you click submit offer, you both accept and walk away happy...IF he changes something you get a very nice big red box in his window SAYING he changed something. at which point you see if you or he made a mistake to see if hes trying to mess with you...This system is perfect and nothing is worng with it as long as you check both screens to see if there right.

can you imagine the flood of false scam reports they would get?
every angry trader that paid 20k too high would report because he cant tell the difference between a scam and a hiked price tag.
and all the tired gamers that would get reported because they didnt put the exact amount in the window teh first time by accident...
they made it hard to report because they dont have the manpower to sort thru millions of claims

Put scammer in the /report and take out the rule you have to be in the same dis to do so
o m g pizowned
if your definition of a scammer is someone asking 100k for something, or buying an item for a low price..then QQ.
people enable scammers.
