Watch out for this.

ok, watch out for this one.
I had a gold sword that was selling at 35k, i post it in lions arch, someone messages me about it, ***name edited*** was thier name. They ask how much, i say c/o is 35k, they say ok and in the trade window i see 35 plat, so i accept the trade. WHen the trade goes thru i look at my inventory, and it shows that 35 k was no t transfered to my account, i look at the trade info in the text screen and it transfered 35 gold. Now i thought maybe i mis read and accepted, but it showed 35 plat, 35 little silver bars offered, i always check, and i wouldn't of excepted if it wasn't. I dont know if this is some BS hack or something, and really it was a sword i found, yea it would be nice to have the 35 k, but oh well. Just watch out for this person and anything that may happen like this on big ticket items.

Forum Rules state that it is inappropriate to post specific user names...

Please don't use player names in posts. This is, as Algren Cole stated, in the forum guidelines and is frowned upon.

i think u have bin an unfortunate victim of a scam ?

Does this mean I can scam as many people as *I* want and no one can do anythting about it because we're a society of complacent douchebags who would rather look out for the feelings and rights of assholes then actually contribute to punishing them and stopping the problem?

Contemplates a Guild Wars career change.

Dumachum, relevance check. Naming names on a forum doesn't do anyone a whit of good. What -anyone- who is the victim of a scam or griefing or whatever needs to do is take the appropriate screenshots and send notice to the appropriate persons.

These forums are not the place to vent people's names. Get them banned through the right channels. It's not as if we have any power to do that here.

If you can't abide by the forum guidelines here, there are lots of other places you can go and *gasps* name names!

It is some hack, ANet just didn't got round to fix it.

Too busy stuffing us legitimate users.

Really now, how would you be able to know for sure after the fact?

My guess is yes, they were a scammer, but you weren't paying nearly as much attention as you claim.

I doubt it's a hack. Maybe you just wern't paying close attention this time and let it slip by? I know some guys try and scam me like that and I just laugh in their face. They always leave once I say, offer 40 plat not 40 gold.

Yeth thir...

It's properly, "Yes, ma'am!" with a snappy salute.

what it means dude is that no one will get accused of diong anything that he/she might now have done ebcause someone is angry at him.

would you want your name all over the boards here for something you did not do?

use your brain as to why names are not alowed here.

i know it might be tough but try

Weezer,

Same thing I told Dumachum. NO ONE is saying to take it easy on scammers and cheats. What we're saying here, on these forums, is we can't do anything about it! While posting a rant about how someone cheated you makes you feel better, it accomplishes nothing.

The guideline exists so that, hopefully, people will use the proper channels and report things to ANet. Gaile has said that they do, indeed, aggressively pursue scammers and cheats. They will never know if things aren't reported to them. That is why reporting to the proper "authorities" is critical.

Several of my guildmates and I have seen this kind of scams from at least 5 different people in Lion Arch and Ascalon. The sad part is that this sort of scams are being practiced by people who are fairly rich (one or 2 are very very rich), based on their other trade/buy spams.

My suggestion for you is adding their account or name to your ignore list. You don't need this kind of business in the future regardless of how rich they are.

I have also heard of people that say they SWORE platinum was placed in the trade window but they received gold.

*forges screenshots and starts a vendetta against certain players*
*puts up screenshots of offensive behaviour and fails to mention any wrongdoings I did*
*uses screenshots of some people to encorporate others who may not even have been involved*
*takes screenshots completely out of context*
*doesn't even use screenshots but uses only my own word*

Those're most likely why the guru forums don't allow names and blacklists.

How would you like being put on a blacklist when you didn't do anything because you got on the wrong side of the wrong person?

I also agree on this it would be nice to know scamers names to be able to watch out for them.

knowing a scammers name would mean nothing you prolly wont run into them and likely they will scamm for a while then change names

what sword cost 35k ? OMG

I GIFTED max dmg sword of swordsmanship (~15%+) with around 15%+ double adrenalin on hit and increased deep wound upgrade.

NO SWORD cost 35k.

It can depending on the Hilt and Pommel, and it's Colour of rarity

If it's a Gold Vampiric Fellblade of Fortitude (Req 8, both pre/suffixes maxed) it can exceed even 50k gold, but only if the mod bonus is +14%-15%(20% MAX if HP is under 50%).

On regarding Aniewiel, she is right... If you want to post a bad player, try the Guild Wars support pages. They will try the best they can to stop the problems unless you're offensive to them
