Returned to play a bit of Guild Wars this weekend to find people "scamming" ectos. Here's how:
1) "WTB Ectos 5k each"
2) Open trade, offer ectos
1) Offers 5g per ecto, not 5k
Nothing new, but I don't remember this happening so often before. A couple of these people were low level chars, probably a secondary account, but another guy was monk with all the usual bling.
Heads up: Ecto scammers in Kamadan
Evil Genius

Veeeeeeeery old scam. Like trading Crystalline Sword for the crappy quest sword from pre-ascalon.

Before it was easier to scam with this method since we had golds exposed like this: 1 gold, 1platinum, with their respective icons (if I am not wrong).
Now that we have only golds listed, it's way harder to don't catch the eye onto the numbers.

As I'm sure you gathered by now, it is not a new scam. That scam only works if you are not paying attention. So everybody, pay attention!
