I'm sure we've all been scammed before. Everyone remembers the first time they get scammed, it's a horrible feeling to lose something you have worked hard to get. It would be nice to have a staff member there to back you up, at least the first few times it happens. Era has one of the shadiest, dirtiest communities on Graal and it needs to be cleaned up. One step in cleaning up the community is to make reasonable effort to reverse scams.
Some people might say "this person is so stupid to get scammed, etc" and "it's unfair that some people would get restored and some wouldn't."
That's what I'd like to see changed. It shouldn't be "this person is stupid for being scammed," it should be, "this person is stupid for scamming."
The rule would only allow a person to get restored 2-3 times before they are finally just blocked from being restored from scams, so essentially the person will still learn their lesson, "oh no, I'm getting close to my limit."
It is not unfair that some people would get restored and others would not get restored, because it's fair in the sense that everyone would get a chance at having their case investigated. Just like everyone who enters the lottery has a fair chance at winning it, not everyone can win, or a murder case can be investigated, but there's no guarantee that the detectives will solve the case. At least this gives some people the chance to get their item restored, rather than no effort for anyone to be restored what-so-ever.
The person who scams someone would get banned or jailed for scamming, and if the item couldn't be restored, the person would still have to pay the consequence of jail/ban.
Someone said, "well if scamming is illegal then people will be more trusting of others and more people will get scammed." This isn't true, in the sense that scammers would know they would get banned/jailed and the item would probably get restored, and it would be a lost cause to scam. This would create a cleaner, and more friendly atmosphere for Era.
This is just a single step for a better community in Era. We can all play our part in improving the community, but it should at least start here, with a few rule adjustments. Scamming should not be a part of game play, and you shouldn't have to scam to enjoy your game. |
