So your left with no car or money, and they got your money. So by Geno's belief its a win win because the dealership got free money and the person learned a lesson in trusting people....

Better. But this is a video game, and I don't think m16s are valued at the same as a real life car.

I disagree with Geno because people aren't playing Graal to "become more knowledgeable about cons!" I think scamming should be legal only because making it illegal is just saying "if you're stupid enough to fall for a scam, contact a PR and then just get scammed somewhere else." It also leaves players thinking they're safe when it's illegal, and makes them think it's unfair when they don't get their items back because a GP wasn't watching.

I agree with Rams' idea, and people saying "NOBODY NEEDS TO TRY GUNS," nobody needs to play Graal either, they do. It's called entertainment, that's what a game is for. It's fun to be able to use other people's weapons every once in a while; give some guns a test drive and make an educated decision on which fits best with you. What's wrong with that?

It'll probably never be implemented though. Too strong of an opposition and too difficult of a system to script.
