Market Improvements.

Since someone deleted the thread posted by Hype, and everyone did not get to see my market improvement ideas to stop scamming, I will re-type them. (btw, it's funny how she deletes it when everyone points out that I have enough evidence for a legal case)

1. Disable the trading and hat trading npc's, unless you own a rented booth. This will stop a lot of scamming (as listed in the picture below)'

2. Put a 10 second time interval on all items that you place at your stand, similar to the 10 seconds you have to wait when changing nick names or heads. This will stop those annoying scammers who put an item for 0 or 1 g, then take it and put it back for tons of money, and since the market is laggy, they find it very easy to do this.

3. Get a new team dedicated to keeping an eye out for illegal activity, like scamming. This is needed because the police are lazy, and if we had a team to do their job, then scammers could finally be stopped.

4. Separate the market levels, so that they are not linked to the other graal levels (like insides of houses.) This will cut back on the lag, which scammers use to their advantage when they try to steal your money.

Below is a picture showing why we need these things put into effect, scamming is just getting done too often, and police refuse to help you out (HYPE.) If anyone wants to help me get my 120 gralats back that these two players stole from me, pm me, I have their account names.

You know; I hear posting in the "Future Improvements" forum is quite cool nowadays.

Definately, but I want lots of people to support these ideas before they are sent to Stefan, so he considers them and doesn't dismiss them.

If support is what you're looking for, why didn't you make a poll?

just want to point out

im new so i dont know what im talking about makes sense, but above the hat is the little green arrow and you see that when someone is using the trading item, but i guess you didnt notice it cause of the good price? i dont know..... i probably dont know what im talking about. i do support you though, i only have about 140g and it took me forever to make that, and i know i would be pissed if i were scammed, but if its legal theres nothing much to do untill its made illegal

I just don't want people to vote and then close it, I want to hear their opinions about it, maybe they even have some additions that will improve it even more.

(i answered this before, but whoever deleted the previous thread.)

That's just a still of the scene, when it was moving, the flames were all over it covering it. And besides, if you see an amazing price, you don't think that you may be scammed by some sick player who wants to ruin your fun, all you think is buying the item as fast as possible.... It's a shame that I have to think twice before buying something now though.

1.) make it so that stupid people like rufus can tell that there is a real bright green thing above the hats in the trade icon

You're my hero Torankusu.... You don't think those suggestions would be good?

We (police) are not lazy. We can not be in everyplace at once while still monitering the market. One or two people that watched the market could not hurt.

Exactly (btw, you weren't on at the time so I have no problem with you, I was referring to Hype how she refused to see my evidence.)

One or two people would not hurt at all... They don't even need tags, I am sure they would be able to keep an eye open for the good of the server.

You have SOME good ideas,the 10 second thing is good,but i think it should be lowered to 5,you wanna get rid of something fast,and its long enough to see a scam.the Trading item idea is NOT good,i give out lots of stuff for free,and sometimes all the stands are full,but everything else is good,also,there should be a police in market at all times
i got scammed out of 400 once,and i have a pic of it here

it would've wasted her time, unless a police member had witnessed it. Or, enough people complained to Loriel.
