recently ive had a lot of people get mad at me when i refuse to do the "give me the money and ill get you the item on my other char".

I am very positive if you were robbed that this breaks the 'play nice rules' policy and Sirken would get angry and wave his wand around after stiffening.

Ya pretty certain that's how it works. I do it all the time, buy something with cash from my tunnel mule. Log the chat I want the item on to receive it. Saves me the hassle of doing a transfer. Just get them to agree to payment from one toon to receive on another, that way it's logged and you have proof if you do run in to a bad egg.

This is how I buy pretty much everything. Never had an issue. Always assumed the above anyway...

Not so much a scam, but I played on a pvp server. People would sell KEI in PoK(safe zone), we would port them and kill and take there plats, they caught on later and started doing it by banks

I had a friend once that lost a duel where the mage pet killed him. He lost xp and lost a level! He got so mad he threw all of his stuff on the ground and deleted his character! (he was a fucking spazoid) Well, my other friend whom defeated him in the duel picked up all his gear. About 15 min went by before friend A realized what he did and he begged the GMs to get his character back for him. They returned the character with all of his gear! So the friends sold the dropped gear and made pp! They did this like 3 or 4 times and never got caught! Another friend tried this, and the GMs must have caught on, and didnt get his character back or his gear.

I seen a Leatherfoot Raider Skullcap for sale in EC, and then it reminded of the time a guy was selling the exact same named item in EC that had no WC instant portal effect.

That's a pretty shitty scam, all you need is a Dragoon Dirk to turn non-port Leatherfoot Raider Cap into standard clicky Leatherfoot Raider Cap. Not sure why people would even bother to do that since Dirk's are so easy to get.

I've never sold WC caps but before I started self-recharging I would keep a standard clicky WC cap on all my toons and the non-clicky cap + dragoon dirk in the bank in case I couldn't find someone to recharge.

I never understood how people fall for the old switcheroo. It takes 2 seconds to check the item in the trade window, and for 99% of items that don't have the same name the server tells you "Person has offered you A Fungi tunic" or whatever.

There is a third hat you can get by killing Halflings in nek forest. This is probably the one that was being used to scam with.

This is right, he was using the cap from the halflings in Nekt Forest.

Jimjam on a roll lately, going hard in the paint on the forums!
