Time to call in a real Super Hero! @Larisa
Okay now I need a cool costume.... ;)

E-mail forwarded through proper channels...and I do know that they are aware of these issues (One of my many super powers ;) ) And remember that the next publish is going to be a HUGE bug fix so lets hope that this one gets squished in that!

As for a resolution in the meantime, ALWAYS let the player that's paying with gold click first and wait up to a minute before clicking at your end. The people running this scam/exploit will not wait that long before changing the amount ;)

If everyone did this, no trades would ever be made. I know that I would give up and move on long before waiting anywhere near a minute to complete a trade.

Don't judge people that don't check after entering a gold amount either. It's not that known... I've seen people get upset immediately at people for not checking first... The person they were upset with wasn't even aware of the exploit.

Just wait for them to check or calmly ask that they check first.

For you and others that are less patient, 15-30 seconds then :D
