Hey gang,

Just a reminder to please keep the conversation friendly. I totally agree that someone being dishonest and skipping out on a pre-arranged trade is lame, I wouldn't want to see this thread turn into a witch hunt or an excuse to harass players. We know that the current gift system isn't secure (see the post here (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?1044-WARNING!-Trade-is-about-trust!-You-can-currently-only-give-with-no-secure-swap.)) for trading. Expect a secure way to trade in the future.

Thanks!

I've got a load if stuff I will give to friends but I haven't once used this GIFTING system. People have given me stuff. Keep ya epics until secure trade comes or even an auction house. The Internet is filled with scammers don't trade just give. Don't expect to receive anything in retun, that's why it's gifting 1 way trade. V1.2 will be out soon guys. It's just really annoying on every second thread on here is someone being ripped off, hold off until the next version because we will probably be able to sell for gold which will be cool.

The good thing about this system is that when your on a quest and recieve an item which you can't use you can give it to someone that can.

Don't trust anyone unless you know them

Legit
05-02-2010, 02:28 PM
This "Amoorez" Guy is a scammer, he says items that are not legit.
If you see him trading, tell everyone in a simple message he is a scammer, and he will leave.
He has another acc, "Pknight" Same deal.
Another scammer: Spartandude ursan

I'm all for protecting ppl from being scammed but half the players or more don't read the forums. IMO, these types of threads should be on private guild forums not on the official PL forums. If there are complaints, why not email/pm them to the devs privately?

Legit
05-02-2010, 07:22 PM
Yes, but SOME people come to forums like people posting on the threads because more legit people would come here, and instead of getting scammed we'd rather know who we are trading, too bad to people who don't come to the forums. I hope they will one day check it out and see the advantages.

PvP
05-02-2010, 07:34 PM
I believe this trade should be used for "hey, I got this in a dungeon do you want it?" not "hey trade me your bow for mine." Wait for secure trades. After the new maps come out, the current high level items won't be as good. No point in rushing a possible scam.

setec
05-02-2010, 07:35 PM
I read these forums every day but a player should not have to read the forums for this game. Every warning should be in the game itself. Most people want to play not read forums. Yes, those really addicted to PL want to play & read the forums to soak up as much PL info as possible. But if you're just playing, I agree there should be a warning in game until 1.2 comes out. You shouldn't say "too bad to people who don't come to the forums". Some of these ppl contribute financially to PL and you don't want to exclude ppl because they don't log onto the forums. Not every is a forum reader.

Got scammed today by Deathwar, also has a character named Kyrawarr. Said they had the Conquerer's frozen shield, traded a Dreamer's Bone Staff for it, and yea, no shield lol. Oy Vey! They even added me as a friend, but later removed me. My own fault really, just such a bummer to have lost such a great item :(.


*EDIT*

Retract complaint, found them today and was able to retrieve bone staff :). Chalking it up to a misunderstanding.

I don't see the problem.. If you are afraid, or don't want to loose something, then don't "give" it away. If you need the item wait till 1.2, or farm it. The drop rates for decent items has been increased in the lost expedition. If you cannot go into the lost expedition then you more than likely didn't loose any weapon or armor of value.

You just cannot trust everyone. This proves it. Just quit "giving" your items away and all will be happy.

I'm sorry for those who got..what is it called scammed? I understand when you Say i will GIVE you this for that, but you guys are getting mad at trusting a complete stranger LOL!!! The button says GIVE not TRADE, so until it becomes secure and makes it safe..you got exactly what was coming to you. Saying don't trust this guy and that doesn't help lol you GAVE it to them according to the game. STOP doing it till it becomes secure and threads lIke this don't have to waste time. Would you let a stranger say " give me 100$'s and I'll come back in 10 mins to give you a 1000$, just wait here"? Same rule applies here. Well im sure there will be ppl who think this is stupid because it happen to them, but you did it to yourself so sorry about being cold hearted lol.

Chrisgta ripped me off. Was supposed to give me bone cloth of the owl for bone plate of the bear. Instead he skipped town with my plate. It's okay though, I'll remember him :)

I completely understand that trade is currently not secure, and knew the risk I was taking, but I am building up a character in Alterra, and I don't know many people there yet, so I just decided to give it a shot and trust. Bad call on my part, and I just wanted to get his name out here in case it might help someone else in the future (I did try searching to see if he was mentioned in the forums before the exchange).

Anyway, yeah, don't trade with Chrisgta. In fact if any fellow mages are sympathetic and see him in game, please refrain from healing or resurrecting him :)

In my case it ended up being an example of how the really awesome part of the community (the big part), more than makes up for the losers. Later I was in town and met a couple of players who are regular contributers to these forums as well as all around cool people (Edit: I removed their names so a search for them would not return this thread). Like so many people in the PL world, they just handed me gear that I could use and they no longer needed, without being asked or looking for anything in return. So not only did I wind up with my cloth, but I also got the matching staff :)

PPhhiillii made off with ma Jewel Thief's Heavy Xbow. Beware.

Furthermore, my laziness prevents me from going back a page, but whomever mentioned that we were 'giving' our stuff according to the game and we deserved to lose it: Just because the game doesn't allow secure trades yet, does that mean that we shouldn't expect simple human decency? If you agree to purchase a burger at a restaurant, then you are expected to pay, and you expect to get a burger. This is clearly not a 'secure' trade; there is nothing keeping either party from running off with money or burger (except laws, you say? Nay, I live outside the law). Despite this not being a secure transaction most people would probably be pretty outraged when they were denied a burger. Their reaction would not be: "oh well, it wasn't secure, I deserved this." They would be pissed off. It should be pretty clear why people are reacting the way they do. There are basic guidelines for how we are supposed to treat other people, and when others don't follow the guidelines, we get real mad. Like hornets. Mad hornets. Thank you for your time.

Your playing with 6-12 yr old ppl for one, for two like they care about that hahahaha, until it's secure you GIVING them your thing is taking a chance so try and say human decency blah blah haha the fact is your deserved it for trusting a stranger.

Your attitude appears to be: "Trading is not secure, so you accept any risks. Scamming is legal within the terms of the game. Get over it."

To which I respond:
Yes, and posting the names of scammers is also legal within the terms of the game. If you don't care about scammers, then don't bother reading this thread. Meanwhile, some of us will exercise our rights of free association by not associating with people who play unethically.

I do wish this was a perfect world who doesn't, but sorry to say it isn't, and what your asking is almost impossible so for saying you got scammed is saying here take this and i hope you give me something back, but if you don't your a bad person for it when it's totally a TRUSt thing right now. If they don't give it back and log off ohhh well swallow a big gulp and say it was my fault, i trusted a stranger and that's that. Why say blah blah blah they are scammers blah blah blah...really? Lol just saying waste of time arguing about it when your asking ppl who don't have to face you in a real life situation to give you common courtesy and trust, they will make it secure but until then just know it was you who did it if you handed it first.

Yes ive played console games that made me throw my controller across the room, but i didn't go to the game forums and make it a issue, and the issue on this game right now shouldn't be one, because its not even really called trade..it's not trading at all. I know what ppl have told me "it's our right to speak out, we are mad, it shouldn't happen, we have a right to say this, blah blah" but do you remember your just playing a game? I guess i don't understand the pixel world, or don't live in it. I play the game for a bit get off and do what i do in the world. I'm sorry though =) I'm actually a nice guy lol.
