Shouldn't this be in Riverside anyway?

There's enough "OMG SCAMMERS QQ" threads in Guru anyway.

it's like selling anyother quest item. Where is the scam in that? People should not buy Moa eggs if they don't know what they are for.

When I see people selling moa eggs nobody sells them with all the accessories to hatch. Selling it without the accessories is still not a scam. But when I see people saying moa eggs will hatch into a moa birds and not mentioning that they need to buy items or materials for it to hatch then people become getting scammed. Also, people selling them mention that they hatch into a moa bird but don't mention that they need materials or items for it to hatch. So, think how many new people that came out of pre and are being scammed every day.

Sorry, but it is still not a scam. The moa egg will hatch under the right conditions.
Your way of reasoning would make it a scam to sell a weapon to a New player if the weapon have a higher reg than the player can use at the moment.
You are not defrauding anyone when you sell a Moa egg, since it CAN BE HATCHED. It might be considered ethically wrong to not inform the buyer of all the requirements for hatching it, but still not a scam.

I agree, although I would still explain it to potential buyers for good measure.

But I am not only talking about just moa eggs . I am talking about serious scamming in Guild Wars that has to involve of people stealing gold from other people. People scam usually in runs, items, and several other things. This issue needs to be stopped before it expands. I am not sure if this is true or not but I am almost positive it is. Someone told me 10% of people in Guild Wars Only Have above 10k and 90% of people in Guild Wars have under 10k. I am not sure if its because of they have been scammed to many times or another reason

In a case like your, there's a simple way to prevent this. They call eyes, try using them.

+1....

Just check....if you get scammed its because you failed to check things. People have advertised "WTS UNDEDICATED MINI FROG" in LA because they were standing next to the frog at the upper storage area. He offered it for 100k...

Theres about a million things wrong with this pathetic attempt.

Just pay attention before you hit submit...its not that difficult.
