You know don't start trash talking that person until you make sure they ARE trying to scam you... I once put up 3 g instead of 3k for a shard by ACCIDENT... didn't go over so well but the guy believed it was an accident and I of course paid 3k for it like I intended and went on my way.

Its not so much the scamming as it is the wasting of time.

I had some guy today say he would buy my item and he traded and then backed up out of range to cancel trade about 10 times and then i just went to another district. then he continues whispering me say "why did you leave nub" and spamming me till i ignored him.

I remember back when SF greens were high price. Gotten Malinon Shield once and tried to sell it. One person wants to buy it for 80K.. i was like sure. He opened trade and put in 80g! Not once but twice. I cancel and laugh at him.

for those trying to figure out who's fault, i would like to quote a well known maxim: "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

I, for one, have done something like that on accident. Honestly, a genuine mistake made from really not paying a whole lot of attention. Probably bad on my part, but that's what happens when you have ADD.

I was supposed to pay someone 50k once, and accidently tried to offer 50g. He pointed it out, and I fixed it an apologized but if there's anybody else out there stupid like me, it's possible. I'm not saying people don't scam - I know they do. And more often than not, it's a scam and not someone's ADD. But it does happen, unfortunately I'm proof.

yeah, but i've had plenty of scammers say 'oops ADD' and then just cancel and move on, ADD shouldn't be viewed as a handicap but as an alternative way of thinking (i also have it)

as for the 100g vs 100k, yesterday i was trying to sell kuunavang in droks and kaineng. and no less than 7 times i had people try to offer 100g, and each and everytime i whispered them 'nice try, thanks for wasting my time'

You'd think they'd have more entertaining ways of wasting their lives. I guess some people have never heard of drugs or real-life crime. Or ESPN.

^^ Oooh, ooh!
ESPN for me!

What Anet needs to add is right before you accept something, your screen should turn a shade of gray and says in TEXT, something like "You are about to trade a Totem Axe for 5k. Do you accept this trade?"

Problem solved. If you still get scammed, you need to learn how to read. Or better yet un-install GW and give me your account.
