Some of you may know about the material scam from before

where it would show up as 250ectos or w/e, but when the items would get traded, you would get some random common material instead.

i just lost 200k, just thought you guys would be more careful when trading rate materials, or anything worth alot of money

ow, report him

SilentWhistle · Oct 16, 2008, 09:56 PM // 21:56

Wow, that sucks.
Isn't it an exploit, not a scam = ban?

Lycan Nibbler · Oct 16, 2008, 09:58 PM // 21:58

So it wasnt showing as 1 wood plank on the trade before you pressed accept? what was it showing as??

Not sure that pic is allowed with names on either, even if you want to name and shame him.

Lichtenberg · Oct 16, 2008, 09:59 PM // 21:59

i was buying a armbrace, thats what it showed in trade
until i accepted, i got a woodplank in my inventory

Tell me, did he have any "troubles" during the trade?

Lycan Nibbler · Oct 16, 2008, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Yep, report the issue as a bug and him as a scammer. Sorry for your loss

Nope, i remember before they would have to show the other material, wood in this case, then try to play it off as a joke or something

now i guess not, since the first and only item i saw him put up was the armbrace

guildwars hero22 · Oct 16, 2008, 10:08 PM // 22:08

i dont see how this is possible ,

Trader of Secrets · Oct 16, 2008, 10:13 PM // 22:13

wat is this, a hack or some kind of bug that makes items appear incorrectly?

would be somthing with quickly changing would be my guess,making it show one item but actually be another.

someone needs to pm that guy and find out what he did. If this is true, it is not good. and I don't recall the material scam from before.

but theres a warning message when someone tries that or something gets changed.

Did you talk to him after,or did he ignore you or what?
It could have ben a fault with the game rather then him scaming.

guildwars hero22 · Oct 16, 2008, 10:19 PM // 22:19

but the warning message comes up so u must have known?

I meant before hitting submit,like changing an arm brace for a piece of wood right as you hit enter,no clue how you would do it but i was just saying it could have possibly ben how s/he did it.

read my other post

armbrace is the only item he put up,

the other time it was easier to spot when it was done with ectos because the merchant price would be wrong for the amount of ectos

Luminarus · Oct 16, 2008, 10:47 PM // 22:47

In this case wouldnt it be the price of a plank of wood?

armbraces dont have merchant price, so it didnt show anything.

I'm just saying,avoid big trades till this is fixed
