I've honestly never heard of people being scammed and there are MQs regularly being sold for 10s or even 100s of thousands of plat. I take basic precautions with higher-value transactions like putting "This is for X" in a tell if arrangements were made on discord. But in my experience most people will just hand out plat or items on the honor system here.

That said if you actually got scammed you should report it and maybe you'll get reimbursed.

Scamming is a banable offense. Report it and get your money back. Almost no one will scam you because that means losing your account.

ahh nalamrie strikes again.

Yeah, well Snakpacc / Jynocyde / Nalamrie / Hyphydruidboy / Bananapie / Jojpg / Bryanc / Jabbawokeez (these are all the same person) is known for 2 things: Ninja looting in KC, and scamming people for Jboots MQs

Good to know, recently i've seen Hyphydruidboy selling jboots MQs nonstop, might need one for an alt soon.

Is this person also Medtek.... or something like that? The 59 DE Cleric in KC?

That guy might be the worst player on the server.

1) If you were scammed all your have to do is /petition. CSR takes that very seriously and will research your concern and take action. The action, however, is usually a lose/lose outcome for all parties involved.

2) Snakpacc and his ever growing army of alts (which sammo helped identify) is a well known player on this server and generally not for good reasons. With that said I've never seen him intentionally harm anyone. He does seem to lack the typical communication/interactive skills that we've come to expect at a basic level from any human interaction (whether this is a disability or some other factors at play I don't know and don't care to speculate on).

I have had interactions with him both in KC and in the process of buying Jboots. I have both successfully secured a Jboots MQ from him, and abandoned one after jumping through hoops, wasting a bunch of time, and having the logistics change multiple times during our communication. Again, I think he means well but is just very hard to align with his thinking/communication process.

3) Never advance money for an MQ. Sometimes things go wrong and the MQ fails, CSR also does not support MQs in terms of reimbursement (I don't know if that stance also applies to petitions against another player). I have never once received payment for an MQ, made payment for an MQ, or been offered payment for a failed MQ prior to the person recieving the MQ recieving the completed project. I have however lost hundereds of thousands of platinum on botched turn ins both on MQs and non-MQ attempts that CSR would not reimburse regardless of the intent/outcome.

He is very greedy though, so I could totally see him scamming someone especially if he was able to figure out that they are mostly a new player

I have had maybe 1 or 2 toxic interactions in my 10+ on p99. This is one of the most helpful and great gaming communities I've ever see.

I think you just had a bad few run-ins. We're mostly very chill outside of a few known jerks. I hope your experience gets more positive in the future. Good hunting!
