All you need is one poor bastard who's too eager, too tired, or just too lazy to bother checking and some scammer has just made more plat than they could have in weeks of legitimate grinding. Transfer, /q, delete character, and the only way justice is served is to ask even more of a bunch of already overworked volunteer GMs.

Even catching them in the act doesn't deter them, since all you do is remove step one from the above and they're running another level 1 with a newbie tunic back to EC ten minutes later to start all over again.

I tend to expect the worst of people (especially online) and am usually proven wrong.

But always expecting a scam has saved me quite a bit of money over the years from the few people trying to pull a fast one. I always double check the item in trade and count the zeros before i hit trade. Nothing worse then sending someone 100k instead of 10k and hoping he doesnt forcequit with your typo.

yeah, but he was a lvl 59 faction puller so i wasn't expecting something based on his name. Not like he was a level 1 with 'TunnelScammer' as a name.

They are one of these crushbone/oasis recruiting guilds that invites everyone who wants to join... Wouldn't knock the entire guild because of a couple douches, although if the guy is walking around trying to scam people he should be ip banned.

Nobody gets IP banned.

And yeah, new casual guilds can really only build their numbers by inviting pretty much anyone that asks. It's more likely that the scammer just took the invite to make himself look legit, not that the guild itself is promoting it.

It's pretty easy to avoid being scammed in this game. Sadly the same crap people have been doing in MMOs since the first person logged into UO still works on some people.

Why not?

If they want to build a reputation, they may need to put a little effort into recruiting.

All the lvl 5's in gfay must be thoroughly vetted before being allowed to enter!

Off topic, but this is false.
