[be careful] never trade with Shielding

[okamaokama]

last time when I trade with Shielding, he said I can get a launcher after trading. So i trade 3 or 4 ( high lv shields, helmet) items to him in exchange for a lv 3x wing.

Then, he suddenly disappeared and delete me from fd list.

I lost gold and lots of items, so be careful. Never trade with this person(Shielding)

[Roasty]

I suggest you reporting this to the moderators (devs)
Sounds serious, best of luck to you

[Otukura]

You can report him in game by typing "/report shielding" or send an email to support(at)spacetimestudios.com replacing (at) with an @.

Thank you guys for help.

Yep, scamming is not tolerated. While you may not get your items back. You can be sure that this guy is probably going to get a permanent ban, provided that you have been telling us the whole situation and the truth, nothing else but the truth.

[okamaokama]

Luckily I find the person and have time to surf his profile. I have report him scamming in the game and now I have sent a email to the dev. Thanks for advice

It seemed that I was not intellectual enough at that time since I really need a launcher

If it's too good to be true, it probably is. The only people I lend things to are people I either excessively know IRL, or forums members who definitely(almost all) do not want to be banned. Makes me feel better.

What's the devs policy on trades like this? I know that some people choose to let friends "borrow" items for pvp and other events, but what happens if those friends have a falling out and you don't get your items back... is that considered a scam? Perhaps I ask random stranger to borrow his Expert Leathers for a pvp contest and promise to give him half the winnings if I win, then just delete him and keep the traded item... scam? I see plenty of people in Balefort Castle who say things like "If you give me 20k now, I'll give you 40k by the end of the week"... scam?

I couldn't imagine being a dev, and have to sift through some of these accusations because I would think that if anyone was willing to give an unknown player something with the promise of another (better) thing in the future, I'd have to think that both parties were wrong to a point and call it a mulligan. We have to remember that most scams are based on using someone's greed against them, I've read plenty of people say this and it still holds true: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

... well I think that Shielding does this intentionally, and the trade is already an immediate one. I know I have fault of not being careful, and I just want to report the dishonest behaviour of the player

[okamaokama]

Sorry only have one lvl 2O launcher.

You got one?!

[Waterrforest]

U will get it eventually
Here is a piece of advice, happy waiting

The only problem with that... well my only problem is that there are people who use the fact that they have been scammed to their advantage also, creating a sort of scam in itself. You're telling us about this individual by name and trying to get others to listen and condemn him on only your word. Now it seems that you're trying to roll that into getting the launcher for cheap from a sympathizer. I'm not suggesting that is your intention, but I've seen it before. Threads like these are numerous, and the report button is the simplest way to deal with players like this. The players on the forums can do nothing for you so threads like this should probably stop.

[Fyrce]

Yes, report this person.

However, the only person you can change is yourself. Have you thought about WHY you got into this situation? Maybe if you cannot yet afford something, you should work for it? Or acquire something else?

L20s are rare and expensive and are supposed to be. Note the correlation between rare and expensive.

Saw a level 20 snow gun for 10k the other day. It was a purp though
