Angry Scamming

Scamming should be outlawed. There are many people out there who are with me that think, Scamming should get you banned temporarily, or maybe a jail for them to be in, and the item they scammed taken away.

It's just not right, that you get items you worked for taken away. Then we can't do anything. We should try to get it taken care of! Please people please, try to do something.

You can hardly be scammed if your using the tables so NO, if people get scammed it's their problem!

Scamming should be illegal
and if you look at Graal's Code of Conduct, I believe it is illegal

Oh, so its okay for "friends" to scam you? You probably don't feel the way most do, because you might not have anything of value. Or you have been ignored when you were scammed.

We have to do something, or this will be just get worse and worse. People leave because they get scammed, then wouldn't it be better if they could get their items back?

If someone scammed, they should be sent to something like a jail, and the item they scammed returned.

I totally agree, I mean part of it is because of stupidity but most of it is just cruelty and greed. Since the human population isn't getting any smarter, let's go the other way.

YES

but

It's unenforcable.

Anybody could "claim" somebody scammed or even have all their friends claim it with them. As it stands, the only way would be if a passing admin witnessed it.

Scamming should be outlawed, but it's much more difficult to do than you're making it seem. There would also have to be some kind of way to prove that you were scammed...how do you do that?

Person1: he r scammed my shield
Person2: no i didn't ;[

How do you take it any further than that?

I can understand why some think scamming is 'legal' and the people that are scammed is their own faults.. I see that. But what most have to understand is, that some of those idiots actually pay USD for items on GK.. I'm not talking chump change either. They waste all that money for things on a game.. Gah, how stupid can you get?

I think there should be some kind of staff people that look over trades and what not... like people PM them and ask them to watch there trades... :o

I havn't been scammed simply because I don't trust any of those *****s that go up and say "Yo!!! Is taht nagi blesed?!?" and then offers you difrent rings and weapons when you tell them it is blessed. And I don't feel sorry for those people who get scammed it's their own fault for not using the areas used for trading. And even if it were a "freind" who scammed you and a person you trusted, i don't really give a **** about it. Sorry.
