Heh, you call them stupid for losing their stuff. You call them stupid because they don't know the value for an item (which seems to drastically change, you cannot argue that. The economy in this game stinks). The fact is, this is all ignorance on the part of the players who become victims. Ignorance isn't the same as being stupid. Thinking that way is actually being stupid.

Yah I agree, players should ask around before they sell or pay for something to find the value. The trade tables and trade menu should also be used. A newbie player, however, does not know of all these things. They are ignorant to what you expect them to already know.

Still, everything you've said zell12, doesn't justify that these people should be scamming others. Just because of their ignorance they deserve to be scammed? Nope, scamming is still wrong. Maybe rather than telling people they are stupid and it's all their fault for losing their stuff, we should try to tell them what they need to do and perhaps help them out in recovering their stuff like Majin_Mush is doing for his friends. That or blacklist those scammers and punish them for taking advantage of others.
