Reporting question - Guild Wars Forums

dekusvamp · May 31, 2010, 03:44 PM // 15:44

So i bought a new q10 emerald blade, and i tried to sell it in Kamadan.
A guy whispered me and said that he wanted pictures of it.
I took it on, and he took pictures of it.
He then walked far away from me and told me to drop it so he could take a picture of the text.
I thought he was Mo/Me so it couldn't hurt (I know there's pve, but i forgot).
He walked away, i dropped, he shadowstepped, i failed.

I know that i was a big retard in this matter, but can i report him in any way? I can't find out where he is.
Thank you.

Take screenshots and report him using the nc.soft website.

Yep, get him banned. Need to have each of these people removed from play. Screenshot, report, enjoy the email when they tell you he was banned. You are out the item, but small consolation I suppose.

yep you are allowed to report him/ban him.
also read up on the wiki's page about scamming. it can help prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

I didn't take screenshots, I was stupid.
No chance now?

Better luck next time, bud. Trying to prove something happened without a shred of evidence won't get you anywhere at all. Just don't fall for it again, otherwise it's your fault. I personally would never drop anything that prestigious on the ground for anybody, I don't care how hard they try to convince me.

I don't have the anser if you can get him reported/banned or not.
but next time show it to the person in the trade window, they can see it all from there.
sorry you got burned ;(

dekusvamp · May 31, 2010, 07:44 PM // 19:44

I have a witness though, another play which was in the party. Can this help?

*lemming* · May 31, 2010, 07:49 PM // 19:49

Do you have the person's IGN, the time, and the district of the incident? The one time I reported someone for scamming, this was enough information for a ban.

We were outside in the plains of jarin, his name was I_am_a_scammer (tell me if it's illegal to put it here?), I don't remember the specific time, but somewhere from 15-18 GMT. Obviously no district for plains.

Mod Edit: Posting names is not allowed here in guru. Removed name for a more... appropriate one

Arduin · May 31, 2010, 08:49 PM // 20:49

We don't post names here. Please remove it

Just provide Support with as much information as you can.

sykoone · May 31, 2010, 09:02 PM // 21:02

That should be enough for support, just should them off an email and see what happens.

No you are not allowed to post names here.

go ahead and send in a ticket with the name / time / place that this happened, Anet has records and may be able to do something to the scammer, they will not be able to retrieve your item for you but scammers should be reported anyway.
