Accidentally deleted last post?? 🙄

Here it is again. Haha

This is a great idea in theory, but honestly most of the scamming I have seen is done by 'friends' not by complete strangers. The trade system had nothing wrong with it. There were plenty of chances before finalizing the trade where one was able to verify payment on both sides. Scamming will always be something that people do; most of the 'good' scammers befriend and or get in virtual relationships with their victims, gain their trust, then take their items (we all have seen this time and time again). Sadly those who are susceptible to these tactics will continue being so. It is not up to the system, it is up to the individual person, don't trust people you don't know, and always verify before agreeing to anything this applies not just in game but in real life. At the end of the day, as horrible as it sounds, the only one responsible for getting scammed is the person who falls for the sick tricks which scammers use. Personally, I believe the trade system actually provided some sort of guarantee, you could let a friend borrow something as long as they either gave gold or an item of equal worth... Now there is no guarantee. It will be easier for conniving people to brainwash the younger player, as they have been doing all along.
