    Did Mason really quit? I'll miss him. I have a l56 bear called 'Demon' and it looks cool when I stand beside his bird called 'Demonic'. Don't think STS can do a thing even if you post it on forums. What scammed is scammed, you can't get anything back, I think.

    Everyone can trust me. But I won't trust you.

    I've never scammed or been scammed. Try it out.

    You know the number of scammers would decrease if the number of stupid people decreased

    Don't lend anything you can't go take back if its not returned.

    Other than forcibly using the scammers device to return your stuff, pixels are included.

    How many of these threads do we need? The stupid will keep doing stupid things, and suffer the consequences. We don't need 3-5 of these threads every month to remind us. If someone is scammed, it doesn't need to be announced. Quite frankly, it just shows how stupid the person that got scammed really is, rather than how much of a jerk the scammer is.

    Nice insults btw. Let the person who got scammed fight their own battles. If they quit, then that's just how they want to react to the situation. Let STS deal with the final result.

    Hunnyhunter is a complete scammer!
    You think you know someone, but this shows you that you can not trust anyone. I have been playing alongside Hunnyhunter for almost three years now, and I thought we had become great friends. When I was level capped at level 35 in the swamps and he was just getting started I would farm gold and items just so HE could catch up. We would share everything! I even gave him access to my stash, and would let him wear my GOA shield from time to time. We were that close!
    Well, goes to show how much you know people. I looted a Tiki Dex set and said he could ~burrow~ it to try it out, and he REFUSES to return it!!!! In fact he is NEVER online when I am. It is like when ever I get online, he has just gotten off. He is completely avoiding me!!!
    So, moral of the story, no matter how much you THINK you trust a toon, even if that toon happens to be on the same account as you, NEVER LEND ITEMS!!!

    Feeling bad for mason, but as most of the cases, it's the fault of the person, who got scammed. You should not blame sts, and sts also should not take serious action against the scammer(unless so many complaints from several users) , cuz who knows, I may give someone few items just to ban him, saying he scammed me. That make no sense.

    Anyway, u can make it again mason, making gold is not that much tough specilally for experienced players.

    People who get scammed are usually 9 yr olds anyways. Its not surprising they get scammed. Still their fault. Plus they should not be on the internet for a matter of fact, if all they do is whine.
