You're right for most of us who've played a while it's obvious. But most scammers don't prey on the experienced. Think of the person who's been playing a couple weeks and is still trying to figure stuff out. Does that answer your question? You kind of asked a dumb question there.

yea at least you can't mix Ink into Dye like you could during beta to make a fake black dye, and try to sell it that way. Although That is how I had Black armor back in the beta days and it was really cheap, so in some ways I miss it, and others I don't. cause people used to use that to scam quite often.

You have to have Granite Slabs to throw with your cloth sling shot.

Ya but my point is how do NEW players get the kind of money for it and how do they even want it?

Only ones I can think of are E-bayers.
