    No.

    You clearly hit the "GIVE" button knowing that you may not receive anything in return. That is why it is called a "GIFT" not "Trade."

    Now I am not for scammers, I have not nor will I partake in scamming someone, but I think the developers have better things to do than punish people for abusing a system. Especially when this system will be outdated in the next update to the app.

    A report button would be nice for inappropriate names, and vulgar language, but it would need an app update to implement i think. The next app update will include the trade system. Therefore no more scamming. Or no more for most people.

    Trade on the forum instead, not in some random town with a person you don't know.

    I have traded some very good items with fellow board members here, just look for the threads with people posting positive feedback.

    Their fix was putting in a big warning on the give screen saying you are giving an item away and may not receive anything in return. Which is sufficient.

    Good points but don't you think if this game is going to grow, especially the community there should some sort of accountability for the players. I say call out the scammer here so people can be aware. I have the names and items that were to be traded and were not.

    I'd say the warning is enough until 1.2 comes out. Unless the person can't read. Let's put up a link to a PL scammer public service announcement on youtube
    PL acct 4/7/10 - Setec Lvl 52 STR Bear | SL acct 8/29/11 - Setec Lvl 10 Commando | DL acct created 9/16/12 - Setec Lvl 17 Male | AL acct 3/28/13 - Setec Lvl 9 Warrior | iOS 8 on iPad Mini 2/iPhone 6

    I won't deny that I laughed when I read that, but that's just wrong.
