I'd put this in the suggestions forum, but scamming needs to stop ..

Locke_boy · #1 05-07-2003, 02:15 AM

Yeah.

This is more of a cry for help than a suggestion.

Please remove taxation from the trade window, and allow people to trade items along with money.

Yeah, I know this'll be censored, but I think you should model it after the trading system on ******ok Online. It's a perfect trading system -

You right click the player, and propose a deal. If the player accepts, a window appears.

In the window you can type in an amount of money to send, and you can also drag items from your inventory to trade as well. You see in the window what the other player is offering, items and money both.

When the players are satisfied, they press a confirm button. A second confirm button lights up. If they are completely sure and both press it, the deal goes through.

No taxation.

This would STOP SCAMMING altogether ...

.. please seriously consider this ..

How about we get a way to spend taxes, and Not worry about *****s who rip off the kingdom of the taxes.

Well if you don't want to be scammed use trading window, Although I think trading window should have slots to put items in to trade via item and no taxing, but don't expect that to happen.

I wasn't scammed, but I know people who have been scammed HORRIBLY, and y'know, I think something should be done to prevent such things from happening.

.. if a tax must remain, at least lower the main island tax to equal the highest tax of the Kingdoms .. example, if Zormite has 5% tax, and no other Kingdom has a higher percentage, make main's 5%. It's logical.

Any tax money on main should go to an event pot or so .. or perhaps the more money gained through taxes on main, the better chances there are of good items appearing in stores .. I dono...

.. but all I'm asking is for a logical way to stop scamming ..

Yeah, of course you're going to not care about people getting scammed, because you support it, and encourage your kingdom to scam. That's great *sarcastically*

Until then, you could always find a middle person everyone trusts (although scammers seem to trust nobody and the newbies don't really know either) so either find someone you can trust or do it the old, scammable way.

This is also similar to Diablo 2's trading system.

How about there can be a trading house you go to like on bomy moon. Problem solved. You drop the items onto the trading guy you want to sell, and the other guy drops the plat or items he wants to trade. Then you will both have to check a box to agree to the purposed trade. Something like the trade menu for HabboHotel and CokeMusic.

Nobody should get scammed for doing anything.

That's a better idea, actually. It would fit better into the RP atmosphere..

Very nice plan i agree.

I agree that scamming has to stop - and trade should be improved in the same step. If it shouldn't be too easy special trade areas or houses seem to do fine. Another idea I could think of would be trading bags - that is, both players put what they want to exchange in a bag, be it money or items, then they both hit a button and they can see the contens of each others bag - then, only when both agree, the contens is flipped. Maybe that, too, should be limited to certain areas, towns or shops. So to say, safe and free trade should be possible, but not too easy (i.e. not everywhere). It'd also add a little realism, as it's less likely to get robbed in a crowded town than in a deserted remote forest.
