I'm not saying that at all.

I'm saying that by the time you've hit level 50, you know most of the high levels on this server (and certainly all of the guilds you'd expect them to belong to). If you got a tell from an unguilded 50 you'd never heard of, you might have a little suspicion about it and proceed accordingly. Especially if they appear anon.

At lower levels, but in the 20's especially (when porting is still pretty costly), you still likely know only a few people; and most people aren't in guilds. Determining when you should and shouldn't be suspicious of a player is much more difficult in this case.

On the other hand, I wouldn't travel much at this level, I might go from Sol to Guk, but I'm not taking a boat or paying for a port for a group. It's just not worth it. Sticking to a continent/area until you're high enough that 30p for a port just isn't alot of money is a good plan. But not because you're going to get scammed like this. Because excessive travel time for a group that may or may not be splitting up in 45 minutes just doesn't make a lot of sense.
