Re: Free mats scam
yeah, they can get a GM involved. The GM can track the convos you've had and all the talking you've done in /2. So, if you offered an enchant if they provide the mats and didn't go thru with it you can get anything from a 3 hour suspension to a 3 day ban, and if the GM isn't in the best mood or hates scammers, you can expect the latter if not worse.
lol, man i was watching a movie a while ago and in it there was some guy talking about how people discover the same things almost simontaniously (sp) and i was thinking about this scam a little while ago. freaky... but yeah, hard scam to pull off without getting banned.
I dont think you can be banned for it on EU servers. I got scammed with this and the GM said "We believe that this is your own responsibility, we apologize for any inconvenience caused"
yea you will almost definately get reported for doing this. hell, if this happened to me i would report the person :P but its a good idea when it works tho
Lemme rephrase that, I have been scammed with this EXACT scam, I talked to a GM and they said "This is your own responsibility" basically they believe its your own fault for being such an idiot. Also on RP servers scamming is RPing, if you play a dark character you can steal other peoples mats in role and your excuse is that your a dishonest evil character.
Quote from site "We do not want to encourage players to use this kind of roleplay in-game scam but we consider them as part of the game mechanics. So we will not take actions in those cases and we invite the players to be very cautious with their items. In short, don’t give items to players that you don’t know! However, if this kind of behavior is found to be systematic from a particular individual, we will investigate further to determine what course of action should be taken."

So scam away people, just not too much :P
I used this scam today, worked like wonders. On EU servers, YOU CANNOT GET BANNED. No seriously, you can't. I had some guy who is "Loved" by the server going round shouting my name and that I am a scammer. I even admitted to this, and I got no ban.

Read it carefully.
When I trade mats with someone unknown I ask them to trade money of equal worth, so I dont lose any money if they are scammers. If you want to scam, you obviously wont trade money. So only stupid people will fall for this... which is the basic idea of scam, I guess.
