Default Why has Anet made it so easy for scammers

Does Anet not care about scammers? It is so easy for scammers that im

thinking about becoming one.I mean hell what can u do, /report and what ?

report as a (bot,leecher or my fav spammer) ooh and hope they dont know

about leaving a dis so they cant be reported woot great report system there.

Or you can go thro all the trouble at support and try to make yourself belive

they got banned.

Why cant Anet just put scammer on the /report and take that rule about

being in the same dis out?

While putting an option for scammer in the report could be easy, the same district rule may not. Consider it like someone asking you to lick your elbow. It's not nessicarily built to work like that.

Also, I thought I read somewhere that the stance on scammers was basically "buyer beware" as they don't want to police every transaction....

Scamming isn't as easy as you think. As long as you look at the trade before you click accept, you won't get scammed.

Well why is it you can put someone on you friends,ignore list and not be in the same dis.

And for the record i never said i got scammed im just sick of seeing all the scammers and how easy it is for them.

It needs to be made easyer for us to report them so we can cut down on the scammers

It's easy for scammers because people are gullible.

If people were smart enough to look at the trade screen and not drop things outside for a screenshot cover for the recent edition of Playboy, then scammers would probably just give up.

If you honestly think nothing is done with scammers and expect to become one yourself, please make a thread here whining about your ban. I collect stupid threads.

Coming up on 3 years, never been scammed. Basically only morons get scammed, or possible people who play while drunk

Shit happens. Its a game, learn from it and move on.

There will always be people try to scam someone in any aspect of life, wether it be a game, or with some stupid pyramid bullshit in real life. Use restraint, investigate what you're doing, and learn from your mistakes.
