Ok, so here was the deal. I was to buy this dude, -----, -----'s HoD sword. He wanted cash only so i said give me 2 pieces of your armor, i trade 100k, then i trade 100k+ the armor back for the sword. So we trade and he LEAVES!! Now I'm stuck out of 150k, and he only lost about 40k worth of stuff. This totally sucks, so I'm warning everyone to watch out. I knew it was a scam from the start, and I shouldn't have done it, and now he has my hard earned gold.

I never do high end transactions like that. I tend to stay away from it. I got scammed like that too, but it's not Anets problem or any of us for that matter, it's you, my friend, no offense.

Never buy something for over 100k, because then that's when you have to depend on trusting a stranger which is not smart at all.

So why don't we let people "announce" scammers, why don't we keep running lists? Because we have no way of proving if that's what truly happened. You can present me with all the screenshots, videos and more in the world and it doesn't prove anything. Screenshots and videos can be edited, can be changed. Snippets of conversation can be cut out. I've seen some convincing stories in my time only to find out that things were not as they seemed. Or, that the person was set up.

Guild Wars Guru is NOT responsible for what goes on in game. I can not verify what goes on in game, I can not get the full story, I can not know if someone is manipulating a story since I wasn't there.

If it's truly a case of someone being scammed and you have proof, bring this to arenanet. I can't make decisions for arenanet, I can't tell if this was legit or if you just need to watch yourselves better and be more cautious. If it's truly as outrageous and serious as you mention, then let Arenanet take care of their own game and their own people within that game.

I hope you can all understand the position we have to take on this. Screenshots and Videos are not evidence. The proof is only available on the side of the arenanet servers. As I said above, I've seen some good honest people set up, I've seen some great photoshop work in my time, and I've seen people deliberately edit out snipets of conversation before. I am only responsible for what happens on these forums. I am not responsible for what happens in game or the situations that people put themselves in.
