Just wondered as it would help with something im following up PWA wise:

Quote:

''Scamming is aloud if its fair''

To me thats like saying: You can steal from a shop if its legal.
I dont understand the concept. btw Stefan said the quote.

I can see where he's coming from by saying that.
People complain about being scammed but in the majority of cases it was there own fault they got scammed i.e not using the market or trading window to trade.
But however there are some ocasions when it isn't entirly there fault when item for item is being traded.

So really he's saying that you have the safe ways to trade if you don't want to use them that's your problem and I think that's perfectly fine.
Although I do think something for item for item trading should be made.

Okay that seems to make sence. Ideally if Stefan could reply, it would be good, so we know exactly what he means.

Note to players:
Yes it is annoying if you get scammed, but keep it on that server. The reason I am asking is someone got scammed on kingdoms and wont leave the 'scammer' alone now and follows him around on PWs shouting offensive things. I think I have capped that now, but it makes it easier to sort out if its kept on one server, and following the scammer around and shouting abuse and other ways of insulting someone on graal will only complicate the matter.

Scamming is as legal as being stupid enough to fall for it - now that tax is limited to 20 plats no matter the actual price, everyone should be able to agree to safetrade...

You would have to be stupid by now to realize you cannot trade item for items. My god, people have to resort to trust in the other person.
