Scamming

[xAndrewx]

Illigal or not. I want a admin to tell me.

[Malinko]

Scamming. Hm.

It's one big subject to debate on. If you lose an item from a trade which someone "scammed" you, then it's legal. If you use some sort of tool that steals passwords or something of that, then that's illegal. I'm sure you get what I'm trying to say.

yeah, that GK staff encourage trade scams and are too lazy to do anything about it when some innocent guy loses something that he worked hard for because he's stupid.

Well restoring is only for serious cases and that only Stefan can do. Other than that, we don't control who someone trusts by a scam.

Yea, heh. I see it more like this.

The GK Staff arn't responsible for table scams. If you're naive enough to hand your possessions to someone else then perhaps all that hard work was a waste, and should have been taken into consideration when you stupidly handed your possessions to another player, Si?

Oops, owled.

[EDIT]

Also - if a scamm is proven I will put the scammer in pillory as a punishment, but I will not do anything more.

But what if that player is young and stupid? You're going to let the little guy get hurt like that? I havn't been scammed, but there are a lot of people who take advantage of stupid people who have nice items.

Nah.

What if the scammer admits to scamming?

Then perhaps he shouldn't be trading his items away, yet. But I can tell you this - the staff shouldn't be responsible for your lack of responsibility... or we would setting your food to 999 everytime you let it get to 0, or finding your pet because you didn't tie it up. Yea, I would let the "little guy" (what about girls?) get hurt like that.

heh well someone gave me a item intrade tables by accident, i got ****ing banned for it, for not returning the item.

[GoZelda]

It's legal as long as you don't violate any rules of Graalonline [such as hacking]. Kai had a very nice quote on something alike.

Yea, it would be interesting to hear Kaimetsu's opinion on the matter.

When trading only was possible by dropping and safe trade, he said something like 'Anyone who drops an item is a fool and deserves to be scammed'. And I think it's ****ed up pathetic how people still get scammed even though there are much more secure trading methods. Some people just are idiots.
