PSA: Always double check who you are trading to

[zanderklocke]

Last night, I was doing a platinum transfer of 6530 (not a super large amount, but a reasonable amount), with someone of highly esteemed reputation, and I put the platinum in the trade window and hit trade pretty quickly. The trade window was up for maybe a second. I quickly logged onto my other character not thinking much, and the person who I thought I hit trade to asked when I was going to give them something to transfer. Doh!

Now, my fingers are crossed that a some obscure bug took place which caused the platinum to poof, but I am doubtful.

What likely happened was I traded the platinum to someone else close by accidentally, so my warning goes out: always check the name of the person you are trading to before clicking trade.

*April 30 Edit: I have learned from GMs that the character I accidentally gave money to is 'Ranbo'! Hopefully, you will contact me and be honorable with returning the money.

If you have platinum poof like that, sometimes if you zone it'll end up on your cursor. Although, I don't know if this is the case here. You most likely gave it to someone other than the person you had thought.

I have had times where I went to trade plat, hit accept etc. Platinum went poof, other player never got it (I zoned, and had it back on my mouse).

Yep, I tried zoning and relogging. My own haste likely led to the platinum loss.

At least it's a pretty funny story.

Any way of asking a GM who it got traded to? Logs etc?

Someone traded me plat the other day and hit trade i was nice enough to not hit trade... He didnt even tip his 10k save on plat :/ shouldve just hit trade and made some deals

The thought of just clicking through makes the network admin in me cringe. Sucks you lost your money [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But it serves as a good warning. Always check:

1. Who am I trading to?
2. What am I trading/trading for (make sure that Fungi isn't a Cloth Tunic...)
3. If I am doing a transfer or selling bags, make sure those bags aren't holding something you forgot to take out.
