Default The merchants are scammers too

I get scammed by the merchant on a daily basis due to lag. I clikc on sell item and nothing hapens so I click again and bam it sells plus the item under it, which sometimes is something I didnt mean to sell. I wish that there was an undo option at the merchant, something that wouldnt require an extra step, but it would be available if you made a mistake. Normaly I seperate items I dont want to sell, but sometimes my inv. is full and....... it happens

I’m afraid people will always be scamming and people will always be scammed. You just have to pay a bit of attention in the trade window. Check and double check the item they are giving you. It’s not a race, and if they complain that you are taking to long then the chances are what they selling aint what you wanted.

Be careful

I have done that to by mistake. What I do now is before I go to merchant, I sort out what I want to keep and what I want to sell. I also seporate the keep stuff from the sell stuff with materials... for example a couple feathers. So I can just click "sell, sell sell" until I get down to those feathers.

I sold 20 candy canes the other day for 10k. I made sure it said 10plat 0gold. And there was no cancel of the trade. Then I bought a black dye. I double checked that the trade window clearly indicated it was black dye and not dye remover or ink.

As people have been saying. Be smart with your trades and take your times. Scammers leave tell tale signs like opening and closing trade a lot. If it doesn't feel right... by dwayna don't do it!

Yes. I'm always very careful too, but it has happened to me but not for switching money but switching runes. Since they look alike its easy to miss the switch. Yes, I should have checked, but isn't it too bad that that some people think the only way to play is to cheat. The easy way to fix this would be to have the runes look different. When you look at 75g in the game it at least looks different than 75k and you have a chance to visually catch it. A warrior rune looks the same as any other warrior rune.

All you have to do is stare at least 5 -10 seconds at the money offer. Most scammers want you to hurry up like this one scammer was trying to scam me out of victos axe and he was like "i'l give you *more then i offered to sell it for* if you hurry,i go up to him and he just wouldnt keep trade window open, i was like wtf you noob, open trade once and keep it open... and he was like faster faster faster... then i saw the 95g whatever i was like cya you bloody noob, ..... anyways my point is, a true trader would allow you to look at the trade window for like 10 seconds at least.... if there paying the dough make sure they accept first
