    One of my friends got banned after one FALSE accustation, report, was something else as scamming, but it was only ONE report (someone was just mean), yet the reall scammers with a lot of evidence and reports run around freely and laugh at their victims.....

    People expect an immediate visual difference when someones reported and thats never the case. Think about how many people get reported a day for accurate AND non accurate reasons. Each one requires a very close investigation because if the wrong action was taken on someone that spent real money in game and is now getting banned for a silly reason, it'd be bad buisiness for STS. Things like this take man power and time so if you want less content and updates but more immediate report reactions then that's pretty much what you're asking for. Don't worry; justice will prevail
    System & others love me ;] U jelly?

    If someone adds something, is it most of the time a scam. Always check it anyway

    Sorry but need a little correction here. Lvl 0 player or lvl 1 cant use trade with lvl capped player, not even gift. Try it.. It needs some certain lvl to do trade and gift to low lvl. So all u have to do just be careful, careful on sweet offer that seems too goo to be true. Like someone said above me, if wanna buy, ask him to use his main char.

    My suggestion for a fix, the SELLER types in the amount of gold he expects. Here's the object, here's the gold i expect, buyer can only accept or reject.

    We do ban players for this sort of behavior that is in violation of the terms of service.

    Unfortunately, when we receive a complaint it usually reads, "This guy scammed me!" and no details about when or what.

    When you do report an attempted or successful scam, please include as much detail about what happened as possible to help our Customer Support Team investigate.

    Also, we generally do not reply to the person submitting the report as we do not discuss disciplinary actions on an account with anyone but that account holder.

    Also, you should know that we are adding comma delimiters to all numerical values in the Crafting and Upgrading client (that hopefully will be out this month if all goes well with the Apple review process). That should help make this scam much harder to pull off.

    Thanks!

    Yes commas are a nice addon but i think the trading window can be improved more. Here is an example:

    You advertise an item for 200 k. (200000)
    A buyer comes and trades with you.
    The seller should have a button where he inputs the advertised price of 200 k.
    The buyer adds 20k (20000)
    The confirm button DOESNT appear because the asked price does not match the gold offered.
    The buyer removes the gold and adds 200k and now the confirm button appears.

    Yet the commas should do the trick for most players.

    Please, some people open 2 trade windows and you can PHYSICALLY see the scam.

    So you're basically asking for an internal gold amount verification process similar to the one in the CS?

    Where if you don't have the gold, you don't get permission to receive what you you're trying to buy with a 'you don't have enough gold to buy this item" error message?

    Sounds extra legit if you ask me.
