scammers are everywhere. there are scammers in RL and scammers IG. people are lazy as a whole and that is why they scam. Face it, get over it, learn to love it, because scammers are like gnats, they never go away.

There was one guy in TOA spamming 7k per ecto. Thing was he was doing the scam WRONG, all he did was put in 7 gp didn't even show the 7 plat. Also didn't know english cause he will PM you saying like " chi bai no da".

Scammers will always be around, but at least most people are now wise to them and don't let themselves get sucked in

Eh that might be true, new people, but even a new person can smell a scam in a second if smart enough.
People join other games through games. Scammers are the same going from game to game. Scams in games people who played the game would know, smart new people will see scammers, even if just starting the game.

Factions is coming out and a few eager kids are becoming desperate for gold, so they resort to less-than-honorable ways of making a quick buck on careless players.

scammers are everywhere. I seen more crazy way to scam peoples such as the good old Malinon Shield trick where you pay for the shield at 40k and they switch it out with regular Aegis shield.

the merchant scammed me many times 
selling things to fast / lagging.

Most people don't get scammed because they know what to look out for because they have been playing the game for a while. It is pretty hard to get scammed, unless you are a noob, even though GW is noob friendly, scammers aren't.

Is it really that hard to confirm what you're trading before you hit "Accept"?

I saw some guy trying to sell the "Fiery Flame Spitter" for 10k... 
90es
Not considered scam because he is selling the item for 10k. It is his asking price. No one is telling you to buy it.

So far, at least 50% of the people I've sold anything to have tried to scam me.
When I sell 8k worth of materials for example, they put in 8g. A lot of people try to make a good deal that way.
I usually don't see anything and wait for them to put in the real price >_>
But there are lots of scams that are often not considered to be a scam.
People who sell unid items usually already know the stats...
A lot of people buy materials UNDER the sell-to-merchant price. Some guy wanted to buy a huge amount of tanned hide squares. I offered it to him at 10g each (If I sold to merch, I'd make 9g each) and he told me "no thnx, too expensive".
I bet a lot of people would then lower their price to 8 or 7 and then the scammer could go off and sell it to the marchent himself.
Like that guy who sold black dye for 6k...
Then there's also people who sell the collectors crimson carapaces for more than 60k.
Lately, the troll tusk converters started selling the collector stance swords for 5k and up...
(I call them scammers too)
But if you get scammed in GW then you really need some help. You have to press accept, you can carefull yinspect what you're buying before you're buying it.
The only acceptable excuse imo is not knowing the current price for an item (like not knowing that you can buy victo's blade for 8k from other people when you buy it for 35k -_-)

When I was selling Ecto's awhile back, I said 6k per ecto, one dude put 6 gold. lol what a little noob.
I always double check everything, I look over it 2 or 3 times before hitting accept.

People who set out to screw someone else over, purposely, are dirty, cheating, lying scumbags. PERIOD. No one *deserves* to be scammed. If they were stupid, they were stupid, and shouldn't have accepted. But they did no *deserve* it because they were stupid. The person setting out to scam THEM is at fault, 100%.

I have made all my money by trading stuff, so I have made hundreds of trades, and have only run into a couple scammers.
one of them I reported to his guild leader who told me he hated scammers -- got that idea off this board.
thx, whoever.
mostly, I've met a lot of cool people.

It's like asking those kids back when Pokemon was popular: "Why buy pokemon cards when you'll stop playing next year?"

Seeing comments towards scammed like: "he offered 55g instead of 55k and you pressed accept what a n00blet", nobody deserves to be scammed even if it would have been easily avoided.
These things happen to many of us by accident, it's not about brain capacity (or lack of it) if you get cheated.

IMO the only sure fire way to not get scammed is to be scammed, because then in the back of your head you will always know to check twice.
