yes, well in the real wold we wouldent be digging for eggs, now would we XD
and in real life all those wolves that r in dungeon would have died from hunger already, or resorted to cannibalisme

That doesn't really help your case of promoting scamming cause it's realistic

As for somebody telling somebody a EA is worth 500 plat,
that's not scamming
if they both agree to an action and carry it out, it's perfectly legal even if it is an utter rip off

yes but for most peaple:
"scamming=getting ripped off=getting items stolen when they drop them"
even if its not scamming most of those that complain about it think of it this way

If you agree to sell something to a lower price than what it is worth and you were cheated to do so, it is not a scam... (my point of veiw)

yes i agree, thats what ive been saying but for those who were scammed any event when they found out they didnt get a good deal is a scam, even if they were the ones setting the prices

Scamming should be illegal, but it isnt. I've been scammed more then anybody, and the value of all the items could of made 5 people VERY happy.. You cant do anything about it.. just don't trust people, unless you can get EVERYTHING they have at any moment (barrow).

That, or get their acct password... -shrugs-

I almost always get some kind of compensation to make sure they don't just run off with an item I'm letting them barrow
unless I have some kind of power over them to punish them if they do run off

Ye that could work, but i have something that works even better, its a little word, as i demonstrate in this conversations:

Some guy: hey can i borrow that just for 5 min?
You: no
Some Guy: ah come on, i thought we were friends!
You: no

trust me the magic "no" works great!

i wont agrue the case of getting scammed by ignorance (not knowing the price of your item) but i do know one thing, getting scammed somehow where you don't get anything, SHOULD be illegal, doesn't happen often, but it should be anyway.

Note: no this never happend to me

the only thing should be illegal is to have your item stolen cause of a bug, like for example that tade table bug when your items stays on the table after you lcose the trade =/ i have no idea how that happens but atleast i didnt have that yet XD

I don't think it should be outlawed, as has been said before, this is a role playing game, and people are free to be thieves.
However, maybe someone should come up with some sort of "Kingdoms' Travel guide" or something. Something to give new players a heads up on what kind of scams to avoid and such.
Scamming will only continue as long as people know that others will fall for it.

The thing about Role Playing Games
Not only are they for Role Playing, they are also Games
And as a result have rules
And unless you can make up some kind of in game punishment for scamming, then scamming doesn't apply to role playing
and any kind of in game punishment I can think of can be brutally abused, so I would rather not add one

ITS A FREAKEN GAME.... jesus. You don't go and find and stab somebody for taking your virtual items... get over it, start new, or leave. 3 choices. For now, ****.

leave as in kill your self? :o

I wouldn't say that to somebody o_o Get over the loss and go on miserably, start new and try to earn it all back, or leave Graal Kingdoms -> Graal itself.
