actually, it is impossible, as long as people are stupid enough to think one apple for $1000 is a good deal, there will be "scamming"

Well, nobody ever thought $1000 for an apple was a good deal, they were just saying "buy item #" at the time it came up, that will no longer happen.

No, because as soon as you say "buy item #" until you say "no" or "i buy item #" nobody else can buy the item, so it's perfectly safe.

the only way to get rid of scamming is to get rid of stupid people, so it is impossible.

It might be anyoing and stupid but it will prevent people from doing

"OMGI FREE ITEMS!!!" and put a couple apples for 0 up and then put on on for 20k and someone buys it.

You scammers made us do it, it is all your fault, if the market scams would have never started, i would not have to put this in. But alas, you cannot trust normal players with too much power.


btw: and the time limit is now 10 seconds and you don't have to say no.

Actually no, it's not the scammers fault, it's the person that was stupid enough to get scammed's fault.

It prevents something illegal from being done, therefore it is good.

How? People will continue to be horribly dis-observant till the end of time. How will this help any? It won't. It will just make the scammer sweat a bit, nothing more.

Not really, only happened to me once, there are a few exceptions, like people who don't have chest-slots. Anyway, anti-scamming is here, and it's not leaving.

Scamming should only be legal if it's an idiot asking you to reupgrade their account.
