How to stop people from being "scammed"
Lots of people claim they have been scammed because they let somebody borrow an item and the item was never returned. Technically speaking, this is not a scam, this was a legal trade and nobody broke terms of service so it doesn't do much good to report somebody for that. All that happens is some people are too trusting and some people are too selfish.
To help prevent these common occurrences, and to reduce the threads on forums and spam in game about scammers, I think they should add in a system where you can lend items to people for a set amount of time and then the item will be returned. For example, I could lend a weapon to somebody for 24 hours, and once the timer is up the weapon would disappear from my friends inventory.
They could create an interface similar to the auction, where instead of typing in the amount of gold, you type in the person's name, choose the item, and you can lend it for 12 hours, 24 hours, or 3 days. As the borrower, return to the same interface screen to collect your item back. I feel like this should be possible to implement into the game

Here’s a thought which makes it even harder to think of lending and even more afraid of accepting items ppl give you for free rent. Player A is friend with Player B. They farm often and all. Player A has his dark side. Player A scammer Player C a lot. Player A wants to hide it. Player A says to Player B: „ here you are my best friend and I am away for 1 week vacation you can try out my Gears or merch my gold if you want“ player B says „yes sure if you propose me and trust me I will do it“. Player A gives Player B scammed stuff and gold which is worth a lot. Player C recorded the scam of Player A to him and sent to sts support. Our well loved devs get mad because they see another scam report. They look into Player A account and see he transacted scammed stuff and expensive items, gold to Player B. It looks for them like Player B is helping Player A with a scam which was talked about outside of the game for example no in game chats. Sts thinks they worked together and try to hide it. Player A gets banned and player B also.
To sum up when you give away your items you aren’t safe of not being scammed but when you accept items and don’t know information background and have no idea what happened you can say bye to your Account. And yes I know sts doesn’t ban without good reason and will look 3 times up, but mistakes happen.
A happy new year to y‘all soon.
