Scamming..-Legal- or -Illegal-

[chrisga101]

GK has had many problems with scamming, how can they fix it? Easy..make scamming illegal. Here is a poll please be honest with your votes.

[Crono]

Scamming should be illegal for everyone but the thief class. That way classes become a LITTLE MORE USEFUL.

[calani]

Illegal, yes.
Hard to prove anything, though, so many people would get off free, but for those with plausable evidence against them, they should be punished, unless they can prove it otherwise.

Even a nice court setting with a jury of players would be a nice added touch. Impractical, probably, but something needs to be done.
GK is losing players, as you all should be able to see, and this is mainly because of staff not helping/being able to help, few updates, and because of scammers. Something needs to change or GK won't last long.

Any ideas?

People quit all the time due to scammers, they destroy what people have worked very hard to achieve, scamming should be illegal and bannable in my opinion (aslong as there are table logs of some sort to prove)

[chrisga101]

Yeah table logs should be proof enough or even a screan shot =\

[Sam]

If you use a trade table or the trade system nobody can scam your stuff! And if you give your stuff to someone and he give it back it is your problem that you trust somebody you better not trust!
Staff is not able to watch always all around who scam stuff or who got the right on an item from someone else.

If you not able to remember this simple rules it´s you problem that your stuff is gone. So think about who you can trust and who not!

Scamming is not the same as hacking! That are two different things.

[calani]

A simple thing to add that would help reduce scamming is to add another confirmation on table trades. one that brings up a window with all the items of both sides listed in two columns and the item's respective value in plat listed next to them, and a total at the bottom. This would help prevent people from replacing the item they're trading with a look-alike and fooling the other player (ros -> ring of adornment).
Also, adding logging to dropping/picking up items on the ground (maybe only if their value is greater than a certain ammount to reduce log size), and also put a flag on the item to denote who its original owner is so the logs would show both accounts.

Again, if something doesn't change, there may not be a GK left for Graalonline to make money on. It is in their best interest to change the way things are being done, as things are obviously not working as it is.

scammers should be punished too many people have been scammed also usding is becoming a big problem i think if enough players know about a scam it should be fixed like what juggernaut did to mydia and kinkino he should be banned or in my opinion beaten with a plush hammer

[calani]

Jugs isn't being banned for what he did to Mydia because staff can't track it down to either jugs or plasma. Jugs logged on Mydias account and swiped all the items. Mydia later logged on and found that her items were gone. However, since Jugs ip isn't on Mydia's account any longer, since she logged in and found that her items were gone, nothing is being done, since it can't be tracked. Its pathetic.

[chrisga101]

The reason its sutch a problem is because WE PAY to play this game and if we get scammed the items it took us a long time to EARN...why play the game? Scammers come on and scamm and get it free its bull**** that they get away with it.

[Sam]

It´s currently impossible to prevent all criminal activities. It´s like in real life!
Be careful with your stuff, NEVER give someone else your acc. or password and dont lend stuff to another player when you cannot be sure, he will give it back to you.

That's a great way for thiefs to be discriminated against.

[protagonist]

Currently, isn't the rule that scamming is only illegal if you abuse a bug or something like this? I think it should be changed to = illegal.

its funny that some people wonder why im quitting graal chris is right we do get scammed on a game we pay for so im quitting graal for world of warcraft and kicking juggs ass this summer for being a *** (i know it wasnt plasma because ive talked to him jugg just became a douche )

[calani]
