They have no honor.
When you die, all you leave behind is what you did in life.
They will die in shame.
A little question... why people try to scam?

There are 3 possible reasons: 1) lack of empathy. 2) misguided view on capitalism. 3) people being utter jerks. There really is no excuse for scamming and anyone who tries to justify it by "People should be more generous" or "people don't have any money" or any such things really get on my nerves >.<
I'm gonna go a social scientific here: You are a realist.
A realist, in terms of social studies, is someone who look completely realistic on how the world is build up. A realist only describes the world as it is and try its hardest not to actually put in any ideas on how to improve it. The realists view on the world is often, not always, rather pessimistic. A descriptiv view on the world so to say.
It is opposed to the idealist who doesn't describe the world alone, but also adds visions to how it can be improved or illusions to how it is. An idealist would often in the eyes of a realist seem rather naive and childish for having these visions.
Where is my point? It's right here: It is realistic to think that idealism is the way forward. For example: A realist before the American revolution would say that the British will always own America where an idealist would demand change, which the realist would consider naive. What happened? Revolution. The idealist's vision had come true and a nation was born. If it was up to the realist that revolution would have never happened.
Conclusion: Cheer up my friend! Even though it seems impossible now, there is always a glimmer of hope for humanity XD
Heard that one before. I really find the second half ofit creepy lol.
Please don't triple post. Thanks. - Earth.

People steal, scam, everything, be it in games or real life. People are degenerates. There's not much more to it. In a computer game it is anonymous, so there is even more detachment and less guilt, so even people who wouldn't do it in real life are tempted. |

That's just how people are. They USE you. They TRICK you. Never trust PuGs. As mentioned before- scammers don't play to win and enjoy; they play to tackle and mock. Some people are just twisted, which is why i have a character in pre-searing to try and help the GW players. At pre, people are "young". They are easily influenced. I try to make them better GW players.

Oh come on... There are many factors to why they scam here is the most popular theory.
Do you know about the win and lose concept? There are people who just want to win at everything and some video gamers these days has never won anything in life. In context, the people who have been told they are losers has that win and lose scenario in their head. So, they think in order to win someone has to lose making them a winner.
Hence, scammers are losers trying to win by making you lose. Why do you think when someone is called a loser they try to be a winner by making the other person lose something. In other words, you two fist fight.

I have done a few runs during the event for the keg run and before I go anyway I tell them I am recording them using fraps and tell them I want half the cash half way there and I haven't had any runners yet.
People who don't pay for a run are scum in my eyes and don't have the right to live, they are degenerates and have no honor or morals, they shouldn't even be able to play the game. So if I ever get a scammer during my run I will hassle support until there account gets banned which I have done already to one player for abusing my trust.

To the OP: TBH, it's the internet and the way they were raised. There are no consequences so they feel they can do as they please and hurt anyone in their way.

Scammers are usually little kids... they just don't want to have less money and sometimes they don't have their parents allowing them to play. Its to anonymous and easy to scam in GW. Support doesn't do enough to punish and in the end you won't get back anything anyways... I for one have been scammed several times in trade - true i should have known better and each time I have learned, but it doesn't make it any more right.

Be glad it's just 5k, it's not a big deal :]
and as to the why, i believe part of the it's due to being unknown to you, you don't know their identity outside of the game and can't hold anything on em with what they do, this seems to turn at least 50% of the humans to trash in online games....
and i'd just laugh this off, since i came back from a game where it was much worse really, small community and we even had spies in clans, people that would pretend to be someone else for a half a year just to steal some high end armor and clan leaders that manipulate and exploit their clannies...
In general i'd say to keep somewhat to yourself and friends + clannies, ofc try to make new friends but never give out to much trust in the start (if they're good ppl they will earn the trust first)
