too bad anet wont think of that as a scam tho, its called buyer beware, always mouse over what you're buying to make sure it is what they said it was.

IBL?

Why not take this up with Anet then? I mean, just cause you can't READ the words when you mouse over something in the trade screen... that's whose fault again?

Jana, go back to WoW with that IBL spam.

To OP: chances are they won't do anything because you weren't careful enough to double check the trade window. At least it's only 1k... which is like, 5 min worth of farming?

I must have lost like 500 brain cells and 2 minutes reading that garbage. I want either, or both of them back.

So termite... your saying you want Dgbtboy to give you brain? your sick...

Edit: couldn't resist muaha...

Dgbtboy, no offense but he didn't need to scam you, you scammed yourself. Just be glad that you didn't buy 100 of them like it looks like you were going to... with that talk about 100k. If your buying a Gold weapon are you not gonna scroll over it to make sure its not just some random white item?

In my head

Both parties are at fault here. However since the scammer admitted to lying and purposely selling him a web instead of ecto then yes it's a scam no matter how careless dgtboy was. If this was reported the scammer WILL get banned.

Somehow I fail to see why the hell this thread was created.

Why are we concerned about this...?
