Ok so if someone pretends to be your friend for months, and then you decent to trust him with a item, its your fault for getting scammed?

yes. it's your choice to trust them. it's not like you're automatically obligated to lend someone your items just because they were your friend on an online game for a few months.

I always lent my **** out to friends. fortunately my friends weren't fake douche bags. tough luck for those who aren't so fortunate, but people suck and will **** you over. not just in games either. lesson learned kids.

Still Frankie, this game is targeted to be played for fun and not to be upset that someone scammed your items. This isn't a game where we're all supposed to feel upset when we play it since we were scammed. It's unethical and not needed. People lending have the right to and a PR watching will insure its safety. There's nothing wrong with that.

the possible outcomes of allowing supervised borrowing just isn't worth it. there are still idiots that will take another player's item and trade it off to other people. then the GP has to dig through logs to find that item. a huge waste of time. all because of something stupid.

But the Player Relations job is: help players who don't know Era well enough, enforce the rules (which includes reversing trades and looking through logs), and make sure that society on Era is stable.

You say that it's not worth it, but in all honesty, it's to make Era a better, more enjoyable place as well as it make it noob friendly.
