Nope.
But I do seize the opportunity when players screw themselves.

No, not that I know of anyway. I try not to be an arse to anyone if I can help. A little jibe here and there, such as 'Now you can get a job and buy yourself a pen.' but that's it.

I'm quite a quiet person to be honest.

What Upier said. I think this will be a quiet thread.
What d'ya mean by "Scam?" Do you mean quite deliberately offering one item, then swapping it for another? Changing bids to amounts in gold, not plat? Asking for people to drop items on ground, swiping, and bailing? I would hope the numbers of "yes" responses would be small...and not because of ... under-reporting.

Anyway, I've bought items for far less than their market value, and then resold. That's 'bout it.

Define scamming.

If you mean taking advantage of a person that's acting like a total morron and has only himself to blame, then yes.

If you mean going out of my way to scam people, then no.

No, I have been scammed and know how it feels. Last night a guild member was scammed on a desert run, she reported it with screenshots etc. Don't do unto others that you would not want others doing to you!

No. Never have, never will. It is important to remember that there are other people on the other end of the modem, treat others as you want to be treated and such.

I once left without paying for a mission run (the one where you have to carry crystals in the Crystal desert, Elona reach or something) but that is all and that was when I first started playing. That was the only time.

Kinda, was buying a sword for my husband from an in game friend. He didn't know the value I told him what it was worth and ended up being wrong and shortchanging him by 40k. Immediately let him know tho and he wouldn't take the 40k I offered for the mistake!

I have never scammed, but I have been paid more than the asking price on one occasion. The other party was kind enough not to ask for a refund, not that I would have given one ;P

Depends on what's considered "a scam" or not. There was a recent thread here debating whether buying underpriced items with the knowledge that you were buying it cheap was a scam or not.

That said, no I've never "scammed" anyone nor performed the above.

No, I was scammed fairly early on in the game and it really stuck with me. I generally try to go out of my way and do the opposite, for example if someone messes up a trade in my favour I correct it. I try to do my part in balancing the...less than nice side of the community.

Nope. Never scammed anyone, why bother? It's quite easy to "succeed" in gw without hurting anyone else's play time.

I did make an honest mistake once, putting 1 of a stacking item in trade when I was selling 7 of it. Guy hit accept without noticing either. However, a minute later he did notice and pmed me. I immediately said oh crap sorry! and put the other 6 up. He was amazed I'd give him the rest. Was a no brainer to me...my mistake, of course I rectified it.
