You might as well close this thread because it's like asking RL people if they committed murder, or other harsh crime.

Now as for your question, not really. Didn't even thought about it. I've only been on the receiving end. Thank the gods they weren't anything major. Just a few easy runs for me and quests. If it was anything like account stealing, I'd be screwed. Both front, back, and side ways. >_<

I have... Not in GW tho.. Was way back when I played runescape (about 5 years ago i guess)
Me and a friend scammed a few people for some items (think we managed to do it 3 times) Fun thing is that 2 of the times we didnt really get much, just a bit of junk.

Havnt done it since tho, grown out of the behavour.

Been on the reciving end a few times aswell tho. Had some people run off without paying for last bit of the run and such, nothing major. And also got my ass handed to me back in D2LoD, was my own stupidity tho, so cant blame anyone xD.

Never scammed. Never been scammed. But GW does seem to have more of a problem with scammers than the average online game. With the notable exception of EVE where scamming, piracy, and dirty tricks in general are the whole point of the game.

If you really like scamming and don't mind a monthly fee, try EVE. But keep in mind that even the worst scammers here will find themselves sheep among the wolves over there.

Don't think I've ever scammed someone on purpose.
Been scammed a few times. Whenever I'm trading I always make sure they accept first. :|

ALF71BE · Oct 12, 2008, 10:38 PM // 22:38

Nope, never.

My conscience would consume me untill the rest of my days.

But I've done intelligent bussiness here and there, if you know what I mean :P.

Unfortunately I've been scammed over a dozen of times, if I recall correctly. By small amounts only, though.

romeus petrus · Oct 12, 2008, 10:43 PM // 22:43

Never got scammed, never scammed anyone. I had a few trying to scam me though.

Did you really compare acts of thievery in a game to real life murder?

When I first started, the merchant in Pre-Ascalon scammed me for a black dye...cheapskate only gave 1 gp for it.

Kyp Jade · Oct 13, 2008, 12:40 AM // 00:40

Yes

I've never scammed anyone, but I once sold a minipet to somebody for more than it was worth. They were the one who offered to pay that price though.

Haha that coulda been me

I did use to "scam" in D2, actually only did it a couple times. Telling people I could "dupe" their items, and end up just stealing them.

But heh that was 8 or so years ago, I've grown up since

Luminarus · Oct 13, 2008, 01:05 AM // 01:05

Not worth the effort usually, anyone ith a brain canspot a scam, so it rarely works on anythig with value.

Skyy High · Oct 13, 2008, 01:31 AM // 01:31

Never been scammed, never sold anything for more than it's worth. The only things that you can truly buy for less than they're worth are materials, dyes, and runes, and I've only done that once.

PuppyEater · Oct 13, 2008, 02:03 AM // 02:03

Does telling annoying pm happy newbies that the key to riches is to "mash Alt F4" count?

I believe Cale has said it best. It is a sad fact that most people cant even spell integrity or define it, let alone live with it.

How much is your integrity worth??
500 fake GW gold on a "Ferry to the docks"
2 fake platinum on a "run to droks"

Im interested to see how much or how little someone will sell out their integrity for.

My integrity is worth at least a million Real dollars.

I once sold a mini destroyer custumized for me without realizing it. Guess that count as a scam? =/

Basically, you'll sell out just as much as anyone else, but you believe you're somehow more dignified because you want more money for it.

Pretty sure I've posted already, but since we're still going, no I have not.
