Because that really won't be abused.someone ought to start a website specifically for mentioning scammers by name.
Yes... and no...
You can report scammers on your shard forum or even U-hall - but you can not mention their name, guild, etc.
I tend to post a general warning to be careful in (whatever situation applies) as it can help others avoid that scam... but I also try not to give details of the scam that might help create a new scammer... It's a tricky line to walk.
Posting a name or a guild to say congrats is fine - that is certainly not a personal attack.Does this mean that I can not list anyone's name or guild even if its to say congrats on so and so?
Just out of curiosity why is it that we can not post the persons name or Guild?
Why would the scammer be protected by the terms and services agreement, when they abuse it and don't follow it themselves?
I understand not mentioning the specifics of the scam, but who cares if someone posts their name to warn others? Just seems silly to me.
In the end EA owns everything about the game, so again, unless EA is involved in the scam (which they are not), why would they care about saying someones name?
Heck a lot of people use their char name for their forum name here on Stratics.. does this mean they need to change their names cause we know them?
Also think about how many people have the same name on a shard. There are some guilds that have many people with the same name.
So I say again, who cares if we post someones name? It's not like it would be slander.
edit:
Also its not like they cant make a new char and transfer all the skill to it and delete the char that people know as a scammer.
i'd prefer a site that has too many people to watch out for than too few.Because that really won't be abused.
So what you are REALLY saying is that car salesmen are scammers? I KNEW IT!I sell used cars for a living so I try to keep my eyes open on scams but I still fall for some once in a while. The scammers are just like people in real life who are out to scam you, they change their names and get new tactics all the time. Here is some scams I have heard about or seen done:
Show you an artifact then switch it out for a cursed one or faction one, I also see cursed/faction ones on vendors just a little below the current market prices.
Runic saws/kits/hammers/pof/toknuo dyes with just one use left at near full price.
Replica items with a lot durability already gone.
Show you a great Greater Dragon then switch it for a bad one or show it blessed.
Show you a Dreadmare and sell you a Nitemare(saw a guy waste 30mil on this one)
Put the item on a Fel vendor then have stealthed friend steal it back.
Guy in your guild offers to dye your item for you and you don't see it again.
The trade starts then guy cancels and puts 100000 checks up instead of 1000000 checks.
Why won't you post it here for all of us to read? Ohhhh I wonder if Adora isn't so adorable after all? HmmmmIf anyone wants details, feel free to PM me
