    Default Regarding the recent increase in scammers....

    Easy solution to this problem for the devs? Make it so when both players hit accept trade, another window could come up saying "look closely, are you sure you wish to trade (your items/gold) for (their items/gold)?". With this screen showing what both players are exchanging, coupled with the fact that from this screen you can only hit yes or no and cannot add/remove items while on this screen, it would be a relatively simple ( I think? Lol ) fix to the current scamming problem. It's worked in almost every other mmorpg I've played to eliminate trade scams, it should work in PL as well.

    I originally posted this in another thread, figured it belonged here.

    LoL I simply got in the habbit of watching the other persons items for trade verrrryyy careeeefuly. Great idea though, in many MMO's. Just somethings like "Are you sure you want to trade <..........> for <................>?"

    Here are solution for not getting scammed
    1. Never give out money unless you don't care about getting it back
    2. Count the number of coins when trading
    3. Before you click look at everything items or gold make sure everything is what its suppose to be
    4. If you trading more than 4 items, pay as you go, pay the amount of the 4 slots and then pay the rest after the first trade
    5. NEVER give out email, password
    6. Gotta be smart
