Suggestion for anti-scamming

[inkredible]

I heard that next update, commas will be added to the gold numbers when trading !, great idea
But i would also like to suggest something to help get rid of scammers!

i have seen diff kind of scamming, done to me and to friends..

When someone get so excited trading a good deal.. some people fail to realize that the scammer
changed the item from "armor " to "helm" etc because of the First few words similarities

I suggest maybe.. some how put some indication or image somewhere of what type of item/s are being traded. Whether
it is a helmet, armor, weapon, amulet, ring


Thank you!

It is a good idea ink. A slightly higher level of protection.

When i trade, i always double check everything in confirmation to the details. Its all about being aware.

I like this idea! Last week I was trading a myth helm and actually put in armor! (Blonde moment but it happens) luckily for me it was someone I knew and he said "em look again I want a helm not armor" touches like this in the game will make it more secure +1 Ink :subdued:

Good idea ink, and if it means I won't have to worry about Em it will be a bonus :D

Is it just me have some formers suddenly posted loads of threads with ways to stop scammers :). Hopefully STS will start doing more than they do already cos scammers seem fearless

Well the confirmation screen is there for that exact reason, it's only your fault if you dont use it. Generally, if someone is stupid enough not to take their time and double check the transaction in the confirmation screen, then they are stupid enough to get scammed. Im not saying this idea shouldnt be implemented (I personally think it should), i'm saying people should be more cautious of their trading interactions, instead of blindly rushing through it.

yeah but some people just get overly excited and just confirm n confirm, it doesnt hurt anyone for this implementation
and ofcourse scamming doesnt occur without someone stupidity, but implementing this would not hurt anyone and it helps
everyone to know what theyre trading.. and also some noobs are not always aware of the full name of gears.. there are kids here too..
PEOPLE should be smarter, but also people make mistakes

well, the commas do help. that will definitely remove one common complaint

this will help - images or somethin, small icon when trading

[valheeru]

imho the icons and item name and gold number font sizes should be increased, adding commas is a must, another thing is colour coding on addition of zeros ex 1000 to 9999 will be red, 10k to 99k yellow etc etc

[valheeru]

that will remove the removing one zero scam

[chitgoks]

if they dont want to increase font sizes they could underline every 3 digits in groups

I think fonts fine , commas enough,, but small icon images would be nice
