I don't try scams (such as that idiotic go-outside-and-shadow-step or put-up-the-wrong-item/gold), but I take advantage of anyone's mistakes instantly if it benefits me.
Just like in real life; if I find a wallet lying around on the street, I take the money from it, then search of ID, call the person, return everything except the money. I like to call it the Stupidity Tax. Stupidity isn't free, y'know.
Admit it guys..its time. Have you ever scammed?

Nice. 
A Peasant Crown is at least good for mid-low level though, whereas eld runes are low enough drops I don't even pick them up if I'm running out of space. Still.
Re: topic, no; firstly, I wouldn't scam on principle because it's just damn low. Secondly, because it's over items in a freaking video game, it's also damn sad.

I have not scammed anyone. However; if someone is stupid enough I would take advantage of it.
Well, maybe if I wasn't so kindhearted and suttle to do something such as tell them they put in more money than what the thing I was offering to them costed.

I used to do allot of power-selling (buy low sell high), but no scamming on my part. If someone will sell an item for half price I won't say no to them and if they will pay double value for an item I won't refuse either. I've been scammed 3-4x on runs and once in a trade (my fault for not noticing) but that's about it.

i scammed a new player a long time ago into giving me his account details because i said i was a hacker that could dupe items, but needed to be logged on in his account if i was to dupe his own items hahah

The closest I have come to scamming people was in the very first days of the game, like the first three, I would ferry expert salvage kits from yaks bend to old ascalon and sell them for 500g saying they were a "special rare kit". I actually sold a lot of kits that way and my friends thought I was so rich when I said I had 10 plat.
I have been scammed before though, again in the early days when there was no reminder on the trade screen if it had been altered. I saved up forever to buy a sup vigor to take my PvE warrior to tombs for iway (lawl) and ended up gettting a superior tactics for like 90k. Maybe there was some justice in that considering what it was for. It was the first time I had ever been scammed in a video game and I thought it was hilarious that some loser would do such a thing. Never cared about being rich, when I make gold I spend it on shit and I still think it's hilarious that people waste time scamming for gold and flipping items (buy low, sell high).

Prof Of Black
Yes, I did. NOT ON PURPOSE THOUGH.
I was buying/selling colossal scimitars like 2 years back to make money.. I bought one, for like 100k. Then I logged to another character. An hour later, I hopped back to the character I bought the colossal scimitar with, I saw I had 99.9k in my invent, which means I bought the scimitar for 100g instead of 100k. NOT on purpose tho. The guy who sold me didnt tell me about it, so I thought, meh. nvm.

No. I'm not pathetic.

I don't scam. I try to treat others as I would like to be treated most times. I will buy low and sell high at times though, but not to a degree that I'd consider my trading activity to be dishonest.
bigtime102
I just been scammed by Anet. While I was sleeping they stole 3 stacks of victory tokens from my inventory. I dont know how they did it but they left some ugly masks in their place to mock me.
eskerod
Nope - never ever - sometimes pay more than ppl ask for - if the item is worth more than they ask for.
Actually i think scammers should be banned for life (ppl who try to buy for 100g instead of 100k - its NO mistake - they really are scammers - and should be banned for life)...

If power trading and buying at really low prices is scamming then sure.
Otherwise no.

Have I ever scammed? no
Other people scam themselves for me (they make the prices, I say "whatever"). A few times I have told them they are scamming themselves, those few times they just say they don't care.
There might have been a time when I accidentally put the wrong amount of gold up, but no one ever told me so idk about that

I once sold a Celestial Sigil for way more than it was worth.
He was the one that made the offer though, I wasn't going to argue. :P

Not because it's against my morals or anything, I'm just too lazy and there's no real benefit to it.

someone sold me a customized FDS back when i was a noob and they were the coolest swords ever
i spent all my cash on it (like 6k) and was really dissapointed when i couldnt use it, so i sold it on to some other noob for a slightly lower price...
does that count as scamming?

hell yea i've scammed. i didnt pay for about 90% of my runs and i've saved hundreds and hundreds. i'm damn proud of it too. I've tried like selilng scams with the shadow step thing and i've succeded about 4 times. i love scamming people, it's so fun and gets me pumped! I actually scam about once or twice a day, not paying for runs, etc
Best sort of scam thing but wasn't really a scam, i was buying 25 ectos but the guy put up 250 by accident so i got 250 ectos for like 80k lol. if you guys seriuosly were about to get 225 free ectos, you're full of shit if you say you would tell the guy.

I did buy Trade Contracts about 200 gold each and then turned them to rare crafting material and sold them to rare crafting material NPC. However it was back then because in this game making platinium is much harder than games like WoW, LOTRO, etc. However it went back then by logic "customer is always right". I did not whisper spammed them to sell me trade contracts. Nowadays I would not do that.

One time I was trading with some idiot (trying to sell him something). I wanted 70k for it but I needed to borrow a perfect salvage kit to take a mod off. We had been bartering back in forth and he had been showing money + items as offers, and when he offered the salvage kit, he didnt take off the 70k, and hit accept. I eventually accepted, and then when I was done salvaging, I gave the kit and his 70k back. He gave me an obs shard for my troubles, and being a "fair player"
. It is all about fun, for you and everyone else.

Do I scam: No
Have I been scammed: I guess you could say yes. Once "true friend" that I have known for over 2 years. One day he asks if he can borrow some ectos for his Fow Armor...I say sure and give him the 75 ectos he needed with all it being understood he would pay me back in about 2 weeks...
6 months later: Put on ignore and no ectos given back to me...GG when so called friends do it to you!

Nope sorry, can't says that I've ever been scammed, guess I'm just not stupid.
I still laugh when just about everyday someone posts about them being scammed by going outside and dropping the item.

I did the whole, "drop on the ground so I can see skin" thing, and had a R/A with some shadow step spell (the name escapes me right now) and picked it up. Those people had it coming to them though.
I really don't feel any remorse like most of you seem to. I'm not one that's like "THE INTERTUBEZ R SRS BSNS!!!!" It's just a place to f*k around in with no consequences.

Sweet Mystery
I haven't scammed or been scammed but I know a fair few people who have been scammed....
People have tried to scam me, the gold submit instead of platinum, the mursaat token and not ecto etc.... but I spot and then cancel. And then when I mention in local the person is a scammer... the "noob scammer" insults come back from said person, although others then comment on said scammers.
Unfortunately there are idiots in the game who think it's fun to try and scam, tho the trade system now plainly says what is going on... being scammed is so much harder but I guess some people are rushing so much they still get scammed....
Scammers will never go away....
