Some of you may know about the material scam from before
where it would show up as 250ectos or w/e, but when the items would get traded, you would get some random common material instead.
i just lost 200k, just thought you guys would be more careful when trading rate materials, or anything worth alot of money

Isn't it an exploit, not a scam = ban?

Not sure that pic is allowed with names on either, even if you want to name and shame him.

someone needs to pm that guy and find out what he did. If this is true, it is not good. and I don't recall the material scam from before.
but theres a warning message when someone tries that or something gets changed.

Did you talk to him after,or did he ignore you or what?
It could have ben a fault with the game rather then him scaming.

armbrace is the only item he put up,
the other time it was easier to spot when it was done with ectos because the merchant price would be wrong for the amount of ectos
Luminarus
In this case wouldnt it be the price of a plank of wood?

It is really hard to tell what is broken without a screen shot or bug.
Hanging Man

^ He said he was buying an armbrace. 100k + 100k worth of ectos = 200k.

i faced same kind of problem yesterday. i was selling armbrace in kamadan when this guy whisps me and gives guest invitation to his GH. i go to GH and press trade with him. it takes pretty long from him to add 50 ectos to trade and press submit. (dont know if this matters something) i had inventory open whole time. i press accept, then he press accept and fast removes my guest invitation. i saw ectos in my inventory like 1-2 seconds before i get mapped back to kamadan. when im in kamadan my 50 ectos have changed to 50 wood planks. and im 100% sure it was showing ectos both on trade and my inventory before mapping back to kamadan.
guy still keeps telling he has no idea about this but im going to report him anyways.

Sickk, did you click accept before the scammer did?
does anyone knows, let say if i key in the agreed upon gold amount, then i click submit, and the other person, submit their item, and i see that it is what i wanted, so i click accept. on the other side you would see, so and so has accepted your offer (something like that) then they change the thing before hitting submit, that would means you won't see a notice, since you've already click accept?
i don't trade with people very much, so does that work that way?

Sounds like you should just avoid getting guested by traders in the meantime... still, an exploit.
Edit: wood planks are likely either "item 0", "material 0", and possibly a default when the item data can't otherwise be recognized. The mid-trade termination is causing exploiter to gain ectos, keep their trade item, and partially modify (corrupt?) the victim's item data.

idk how this would be possible to do and it would be just Wood Planks. There most likely coded like all the other materials. Most likely a bunch of liars ^^

Might explain why there are a ton of arms for sale by no-names the last day or two in kamadan. I was thinking last night maybe it was cuz of hom update, but now maybe i am thinking it is this new glitch?
Was the OP trading in town or was he also guested/kicked from a hall?

Didn't something very similar happen in the past?

So, seems we can narrow it to:
1) Happens when going to a GH to trade
2) Trades taking an odd amount of time to complete
3) ???
Yeah, I'd advise against going to someone else's GH to trade. There's no real reason for it anyway. They should at least be able to get to SOME port town/GTOB.
Fleh. My sympathies to those scammed, people effing suck.
