Please feel free to prove it. I have 5 computers, run ec and cc, run vpns, and other misc. programs.... I have not been able to reproduce what anyone here is talking about. As far as I am concerned people are mad they got ripped off over a simple exploit that is easily avoidable. Their Pride has been hurt so they feel the need to complain about a bug that doesnt exist.
Until anyone produces a video or some other form of legit proof this topic is an unwarranted complaint.
yet you have no proof of this. If I had seen this multiple times id probably get wise and record it for the devs sake.
In summary... On a good day i do somewhere around 20 trades a day with random people. I have never been ripped off or seen anyone attempt to rip me off.
Im not saying its not possible. Im just saying that if its this prevalent in the game we should probably have some proof by now.
I don't even follow what you think you are saying here. Have you read what I said? Prove what? That one side can tick and unstick and in between swap the sum? Of course that is possible, per the design of the trade window. I am describes several scenarios, and
this scenario is at least quicker and easier in the EC: You can type in a sum, tick accept, wait a few seconds (buyer is checking sum), THEN ---> [ untick, select all->delete->paste, tick accept again ] <-- and you try to time this RIGHT before the buyer would accept. This part doesn't require any hacks, it's just far quicker and easier to do in EC, because the sum swapping part is that much easier in EC. And obviously a script can be written for this, as these are
client side actions. Whether they are out there, I don't know.
Other scenarios may include more hacking/scripting, I don't know that. It may be possible.
What I am starting to find pretty annoying, is that I actually said I got a 20M scroll stolen off of me right after purchasing it at a Felucca vendor and I am not looking to blame others. This is normal, intended gameplay. Well played! Do you see me looking for blame anywhere but myself?
In the case of this trade,
I read the sum and counted the zeros TWICE, The buyer accepted FIRST, so I then clicked accept. What more should a normal player expect, assuming the trade window mechanism works as designed?
Of course armed with knowledge of these scams, you would now not merely have them accept first as Scribbles suggested - that is not enough, as they can super quickly unaccept-swap sum-accept right as your finger went down on the mouse button (point of no return), but actually wait a long time. Like 20 seconds.. and see if anything changes. But as I've said several times, this trade window even says "secure trading". It's anything but. It's at the very least a
cat and mouse game. It should't be. That's just absurd. Even without any hack, the fact that the sum might be swapped at the blink of an eye, right before you accept, is just bad design in dire need of fixing.
Okay, I just ran the EC and CC side by side, and the EC is definitely the culprit. The EC:
