Go away googi.

Faheria_GP2 02-22-2002 08:52 AM

actually, it is impossible, as long as people are stupid enough to think one apple for $1000 is a good deal, there will be "scamming"

Gangster88 02-22-2002 08:55 AM

YAY anti scamming

Well, nobody ever thought $1000 for an apple was a good deal, they were just saying "buy item #" at the time it came up, that will no longer happen.

Flameuss 02-22-2002 08:56 AM

how will this help? poeple will go i buy item as fast as possible just so they can get it and wont pay attention to the thing that comes up until the end make something more interesting like the shops and stuff

No, because as soon as you say "buy item #" until you say "no" or "i buy item #" nobody else can buy the item, so it's perfectly safe.

has to have a time limit or people will do it to all items and prevent from being bought

You can only do it to 1 item at a time.

Yes, 15 seconds.

Shorty2Dope 02-22-2002 09:58 AM

02-22-2002 10:13 AM

Then BOOM, it starts all over again!

Googi 02-22-2002 11:54 PM

Well, so far I've gotten half of what I wanted, which is more then most Graalians get...

Of course, if you are a scammer, it is.

Actually no, I think it's annoying and stupid too, and I don't even have the money to hire a market stall :P

But I'm not.

Thank you drive through~

vsignasv 02-23-2002 01:27 AM

Its annoying and stupid. Why do it in 2 steps if you can do it in 1?:p

02-23-2002 02:19 AM

the only way to get rid of scamming is to get rid of stupid people, so it is impossible.

scottman5587 02-23-2002 02:29 AM

:D Yay finally they made anti-scamming!

Falcor 02-23-2002 02:40 AM

It might be anyoing and stupid but it will prevent people from doing

"OMGI FREE ITEMS!!!" and put a couple apples for 0 up and then put on on for 20k and someone buys it.

You scammers made us do it, it is all your fault, if the market scams would have never started, i would not have to put this in. But alas, you cannot trust normal players with too much power.


btw: and the time limit is now 10 seconds and you don't have to say no.

Actually no, it's not the scammers fault, it's the person that was stupid enough to get scammed's fault.

It prevents something illegal from being done, therefore it is good.

02-23-2002 04:22 AM

Did you ever notice that when someone gets market-scammed, it is usually the same person everytime?

How? People will continue to be horribly dis-observant till the end of time. How will this help any? It won't. It will just make the scammer sweat a bit, nothing more.

Not really, only happened to me once, there are a few exceptions, like people who don't have chest-slots. Anyway, anti-scamming is here, and it's not leaving.

02-23-2002 04:25 AM

Do you realize, Googi, that this will just cause more scamming in other areas, such as Mining?

Let him have his enjoyment for now, so we can crush it all later. ;)

Whoopedy-doo for anti-scamming, we could all care less.

Valder 02-23-2002 04:31 AM

Scamming should only be legal if it's an idiot asking you to reupgrade their account.

PuffyPuppy 02-23-2002 04:47 AM

ya but then it will take the fun out of giveaways :( At least you can't scam!

People will still get 'scammed.' I don't know why they named it anti-scam.
