Seriously I don't care.
But Id say just KEEP it!
You want to get rid off it. Fine... the scammers will just scamming for the other wealth aps.
Getting rid of all those wealth aps then? Scammers will keep scamming friendly nice people for any other stuffs.
Is this midas touch scam > than any other scam in the game?
For me no.
Scamming for a pixel or a dollar, both are just as bad.
The problem is not the title ap, the problem is the scammer.
And here sts has the responsability to make al, pl, dl, sl,... any game they are creating/have created a safer, fun place.
For me it is just ridiculous how the same guy can perform several times any scams before getting caught or even never... report/mail not working or fast enough response.
But then what scammer is getting banned. Account banned? He can create others or have already others waiting to be used. Device banned also? So what he'll use an other ipad, pod, tablet, phablet, phone, pc... ip banned? Use an other. Credit card trace? That I dont know lol... not sure if theyll ban the number for making any purchase in futur.
Its a hard job for sts, im pretty sure.
Trying to root out scammers, accomplices, money laundry.
(Wonder if sts not giving back the 100kk is because they were scammed by false scammed people lol)
there are ways to make this or their other games
safer without simply deleting this midas touch ap for sts. And its not much harder or time consuming than implementing crafting.
If I had to give some toughts: make the wealth ap tied
to your auction balance. If its positive for ex: 100kk, you get your title midas touch. Or buy it with plat gold also.
Im the kind of person who is: "you get what you work for it".
And why not, when you get midas touch title: to have the option to give title to 1 heir (friend) so no
abuse.
The newly midas touch guy can give also to 1 heir max only if he has himself in bank 100kk. And it goes on and on.
Other thing maybe, when trading high amount of gold to your friend for nothing, your friend get trading/buying unavailable (like we have with the low lvl) until he gives back to the person lending him the cash. (At least with that, no money laundry and easy to trace if he delete)
There are other ideas here and there in the forum.
But it should be sts finding better solutions against scams not us.
The only safe thing to do atm is for people is not to trade your 100kk.
You do it at your own risk. The vast majority still does it and hey they get their cash back! Sadly some trusted the wrong people.
Hard lesson learned for them.
Thats part of life. Deal with it.
And complain to sts if you want. Its your customers right, you spend your cash in this game.
I got 20 years of mmo and
scamming has been in all the games. Nothing new on the internet I deal with it. Im a kind guy when I play, I give hand anytime as long its not my arm or my body. And I lost lots of hands over the years on the internet lol.
The first scam ever I remember is when I discover Santa is a fake as a little kid (sorry for the spoiler here).
Or the classic eat your spinach so youll get strong like popeye!
(Bad parents... joking).
Irl,

gf scammed me,
bankS scammed me,

Ahaha... Yea I know wth...
Thats the world we living in.
But hey, still live happily.
