    Default I was scammed

    Great game.. Too many cheaters

    I have been playing this game for over 2 years. I admit it is quite addicting. However, there is one annoying problem with this game. And that is trade. Players (such as Beenijikin) scam every now and then and it is hard to prevent it from happening. Here's a popular scam trade:
    P1 originally set item(s) out to sale. P2 finds it is a good deal and set his/her gold out for trade. Now here come the tricky part only professional scammers can do. Almost immediately before P2 taps the check to confirm the trade, P1 exchanges the offered item(s) with different item(s) (usually, but not necessarily, an item wit a similar name and color). Now that P1's exchange is over, P2 tapped the checkmark and P1 quickly taps his checkmark to finish off the trade. Before P2 notices and reports, P1 logs off or teleport to a different place so P2 have no way of reporting P1. There is also no way to message P1 for P1 must accept P2's friend request. With this being said, I have been scammed over 150k from Beenijikin and a few others.

    Character: Deathscar

    Ps. This is a wonderful game, and I credit the dev's hard work and continuous patching. It just needs some extra cleaning for scammers and cheaters that exists within the game. I would also appreciate it if receive some compensation for my losses. Thanks.

    First of all, this game hasn't even been out for a year yet. The anniversary for 1 year is in a day. As for the scams, there are scammers in every mmorpg. You just have to be vigilant and careful when trading. Make sure to always double check and even triple check before accepting.

    Yes, you can. Using /report (name) will enable you to report them without clicking on them. Also, go to town and type "/who" x)

    Same here Klemen! I keep reporting myself for the same reason I keep booting myself. Because I keep stealing all my pinks!

    Usually you've chatted with whoever you are trading with. So you have a name. You have a name, you can report the person whether they are online, in town or wherever.

    As others have already said, type /report <cheater's name>

    Logging off does not prevent you from reporting them. You just need their name.

    Star light, star bright...

    One thing this game needs is player mods of some sort able to atleast mute players ingame. To many annoying people in balefort spanking the same thing over and over. And yes I know there's an ignore but not everybody is going to ignore them so you can't write anything without it being gone off the chatlog after a few seconds.
