    Default "S) Cool Names!" Needs to be discussed.

    In almost every Balefort, I'll see someone saying "SELLING COOL NAMES PM FOR OFFERS" when its a scam. It's saddening to see that this is being said in public, totally disreguarding the ToS.

    ToS:
    Anything that can not enter the trade window (Such as platinum) shouldn't be traded and is against the ToS.

    (I think that's what it says.)

    Has anyone else seen this?

    This is pretty obvious but most people don't listen, so let them learn from their mistakes.

    STS makes that rule to protect their own players. Also, it removes them from having to do anything if someone get scammed.

    What is the general rule? "If it does not fit in the trade window, don't trade it!" Why should a player's stupidity be something that STS has to waste resources on?

    I've learned my lesson, now it will be very rare that I do lend a set to someone. If I do, it's usually something that I can afford to lose.



    If players cry about being scammed of a name, that is their problem. They should not have tried to make a dealing with anything that cannot fit in the trading window.


    However, if STS made a feature that allowed the selling of names via trade window, I'd love it! Heck, I'd pay extra platinum for that feature. I have a wide collection of names that I know other players would love to have.

    I see it all the time. I advise of ToS and if they continue, or get rude, I report, mute, and move on.

    Still, like Apollo said, selling character names is forbidden by STS. What if the seller asks for gold first and you, not knowing gave him. He couldd log off and not allow you to change your supposed name you wanted.

    Name selling is almost always a scam because you never know if the seller is trustworthy or not.

    At the very moment when people started to turn unique names into profit, support didn't give unique names anymore.

    It's IMO peffedic to ask a name from support just in order to sell it.

    All names are born unique, but some names are more unique than others.
