i got scammed out of 400 once,and i have a pic of it here,but when i went to tell the police,all they said was that screenshots can be faked

Maybe they could still disable the trading npc's in the market, but make a link from the market to another trading house... (it's pretty far to go to get to the trading house, and I believe that all the financial activity and trades should go on in one area of graal2001, not all over.) By linking to a trading house, you would still be able to give and trade stuff, and it would still cut back on the scams by a lot.

Definately. There should be one staff member in the market at all times, keeping an eye out for illegal activity. I seriously am trying to figure out the purpose for Police; most of them don't answer my questions, they don't help when someone is harassing me, and they really don't help when we need it the most, being scammed that is. Police should either take on more responibilities or they should simply be replaced. FAQ's do more than they do, they even do police jobs sometimes.

One word.

Screenshots.

I have plently of them to prove that I was scammed. But as I said, that was dropped before, I am trying to get support on these improvements so things can be better for graal2001.

Yeah, that would work.... I know many staff members who are not lazy (on other servers of course) who have multiple accounts, and are able to utilize them to go undercover and catch hackers and people doing illegal things. Of course on a p2p server extra accounts aren't available, that's why we need a whole new team to prevent this. Sometime even just the presence of authority stops things from happening, people wearing an Anti-Scam or whatever tag would definately do so.

This is what I think. I got scammed out of 1001g and 3500g before. It's not fun! I know...

Maybe Stefan should add a command that opens a window when the first player to say 'buy item 1' or whatever buy's the item. The window would have a confrontation box. You would have to select if you wanted to buy THAT item for THAT price. Yes or No. That way if you bought something for say, 3500g you could simply select 'No' and the item wouldn't be bought and stay on the stand.

The window would stay open for 4-5 seconds and then close.

I think James mentioned something like this before.

(though your case i could understand but im talking about the idiots that get scammed off some crap hat or a few/few hundred gralats and say they are going to get that person banned)

Providence_Admin3 · #24 11-24-2001, 06:39 PM

I mostly agree, but 120 is nothing, and it's KIND OF OBVIOUS IT'S NOT THAT HAT IF THERE IS A GREEN ARROW ABOVE THE HAT. ;/

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The one where Jerom, Ramirez, and basically everyone else was like "what the hell, you're an idiot." That thread is the reason Rufus is on my ignore list.

or make a rota like the other chiefs have done.

eg one in the market
one in the farmland
one in the mining and crafting place
one in the bread bakery
and rotate all the officers

Okay, scratch out all those ideas and do this:

make it so no one can BUY any item for 5 seconds.. so if someone puts a hat up for 5000 gralat, you can't buy it for 5 seconds.. giving everyone a chance to see the price first.

what are you talking about don't link the levels to houses? since when are they linked to houses?

Also, the reason the market lags is because of the npcs and people.. gee lets see:

each stand:
1 basket npc
1 table npc
1 green top npc
1 sign npc
6 item npcs

10 npcs a piece, plus 3 or 4 stands on the level means there are 30 to 40 npcs alone in the stands.. not to mention, lights, the railroad, and the TONS of items left in the basket.. we're talking about 70-80 npcs on the level not to mention the people, bomy pets, and anything they use to lag up levels (emoticons, bomy pets, torchs, any gani, etc)

THAT is why the market lags.. If you go in the market while it isn't busy, and the stands aren't full, and the baskets have been cleared, it doesn't lag.
