But I didn't have 100k, so the game put into the trade window the max ammount of money I had - 100g. I pressed "submit trade", but realized immediatly that I made a mistake and changed offer (it took me around 15 seconds to figure out what's wrong though). The scam 100k-100g works, because often pple don't notice. It might have happened, though ofc not very likely, that nor me nor the person i was trading with noticed the mistake before the trade was made. After that, he would have reported me, probably without bothering to tell me that at all. Do i deserve a perma ban, losing 3 years of play, 11 chars, etc because of such an accident? There is simply no way for me to prove I didn't mean to do that - nor there is a way to be 100% sure that somebody who did it, did it with purpose (to avoid being contacted by the unhappy seller, one could just log out, set himself to offline or pretend to afk in a populated place like spamadan - the seller will eventually stop trying to contact you and you could spend/move the money to avoid being able later to give it back).

Now this was just an example. A lot of mistakes can happen.

And you have time to see your trade log if all is ok..check your trade log every trade save your game..it took just 10 seconds to check and you immediatly can see : xxx traded you xxe , you traded xxx 100g...100g?its an error, so you can contact him/her to resolve the problem before report you.
Im not a perfect guy, i made a lots of mistake every day..and for this reason i check all that is do because i know that i can do something wrong...infact i never get banned in a game,and i made big mistakes too...

I wasn't referring to item identifiers, I was talking about game code (programmed code). Anyway, Diablo II items are different: two identical items have the very same final ID, and you can just build them up with an editor by reproducing this item ID.

I believe that's not the case with GW items: any single item has most likely its own (unique) final ID. Think of it: any item has a specific and random, merchant value, which makes me think two appearently identical items won't just match internally. For the game, they're two different items that look the same.

So, whoever is put in charge to restore items MUST know what item you're missing and build another one from scratch. But gold drops are generated randomly, so there's probably no function in the code to "spawn" an item at will. Even if they have some magic trick to spawn items, they probably could just rebuild items with a fixed ID (like, say, a tormented item, or green weapons), but probably not a drop.
