Is it just me?

**Kingzila** · 01-05-2014, 06:32 AM

Or is scamming & begging becoming like the only thing you see now in trade chats.

And on top of this I've been seeing more and more successful scams lately then normal, like people are just giving up on even thinking before they whip there gold out (which to me seems very stupid)
Like today I was sitting in cs and spotted a scammer in chat saying

""who ever gives me 100k will get 250k after a minute!!! (NO SCAM)"" ((yes and someone fell for it))

I can imagine this is not just me seeing this but I'd like to know from you all here on the forums if you all are seeing this more often or if it's just ramping up again with this past fest update.

**Doodlebeast** · 01-05-2014, 06:37 AM

Dude I entered to balefort and shouted " DIVIDING MONEY! NO SCAM DOE! ".

Lol I seek the same guy 10mins ago and it's so common now days but what gets me is trying to buy ewt ebm esb and black dragon sets which are past the cap gold trade limit? I'll be honest even if I could buy these items I wouldn't coz ur running the risk of being scammed 30m The beggers are constant but people who show off "zillionaire" are asking for it coz it's a dead give away.

And that's another thing about these scams I've been seeing, there not new there all old scams like doubling or give me this il give you this after on another account. Now tell me there yolo scams or something new "ish" that would explain to me better why scamming is getting worse.

I just don't understand how scamming it's getting worse when the scammers are getting lazier and lazier with how they scam. You would think that would make it easier for users to spot them since they have seen that scam millions of times before.

Yesterday I even saw a community guild member saying if you give him gold he'll double it. Isn't that supposed to be a guild that helps players and the community?

You can't expect a guild without a bad seed in it.

I think it's safe to say that we the players shut down the yola nubs, and there aren't really any new scams. Sometimes I have too much fun trolling doublerers cuz they're usually wearing 5k worth of gear talkin about they can make YOU rich O.o

The thing that gets me is when you spot a beggar wearing an OCD and a lavaforged armor with a holoshield and yeti pets...

Pretty darn hard to control and see who keeps inviting randoms into TCG

People that add fire to the flame I guess. Scamming is always part of mmo

**Cheenivie** · 01-05-2014, 01:30 PM

I don't remember the name. It was yesterday. I tried to get a screenshot in case i was asked this but he left balefort too quickly to take one. I know he is a 15 bear but that's probably not much help.
