Hi guys, I have been so stupid today

Let me tell my story:
This day I was hanging out in RA and after a while I exchanged my factions for Zaishen keys. Because I'm going for the zaishen title I decided to open the chests. Result: An Everlasting Phantasmal tonic! I was so happy. I even started a thread in High-End forum to sell it. Because I couldnt wait I decided to try to sell it ingame. After a few low offer (>90e) I got an offer of 140e. Off course I didnt really trust it but I thought "lets give it a try". He invited me in a party and he went outside in explorable area (outside kamadan). Then he asked me to drop it off course I thought he was going to scam me or zone (since he was close to the portal).

Then he went far away (even out of my range) and I decided to drop it - I know very very very stupid - and by the time I realised he was comming closer, he used return and took the tonic seconds later he left and went "offline".

I think I was blinded by the gold (or should I say ectos?)

Here are some pics:

Hope some1 can help me What should I do now?


Message to mods: I hope this is the right place to post this kind of problems?

EDITED by Commander Ryker : No, it isn't the right place, there is no right place for this. Contact anet. Next time, edit out names before you post pictures.

A) Block out names
B) Send a support ticket to ANet with these screens
C) We can't help you

Edit: Less nasty version:

GWGuru has a policy against using people's names in screenshots, so please block them out. We can do nothing except direct you to Anet support.

Is it even reportable? Technically, the scammer didn't do anything illegal. Was his name grayed out when he was far enough away?

Do you know if he used Recall or Shadow Meld?

Niether: Mo/Me, so an Ebon Vanguard skill most likely.

Take it as a lesson learned, bro. They might ban him, however, I doubt it.

LOL you did that to yourself dude. If it were me, I would have had him kill himself first. Can't believe you fell for it.

Yeah.. you won't get this back.

And if you had a better knowledge of the skills in this game it would've been easy to guess. There's no point in reporting it.

I'm sorry that you had this bad experience. Actually, this is the first time I heard of this one. Thanks for reporting and I don't care that you didnt black out the screen shot. Might save someone else from falling for the same trick. It amazes me how many people will cheat in this game and how creative they are at it, and how many people actually think it's cool. If they spent a fraction of the time they spend thinking up cheats actully playing they wouldn't have to CHEAT. And it is cheating.

I'm pretty sure that no matter what support you contact, they're not going to be able to comprehend helping you after seeing you getting conned by the first lesson in Scamming 101.

Edit: To prevent further blindness, I recommend you read this page and especially look at bullet #6 of Trade Scams.

So you thought he was going to scam you, and you went along with it anyway? Sorry, I cannot and do not sympathize with you. The minute you thought that, you should have left.
