I tried to use common sense by trading with an old member, 4 year old account and 5k posts, but the account had been hacked. Fortunately for me the person secured his account and paid me back, but I had no recourse from d2jsp. I guess if you ask the other person to send GW2 gold first it can be safe, but if you send fg first you can't prove you were scammed. Not being able to prove you were scammed means the only way to do a safe trade is with a mediator. If you disagree please use fact based assertions.
Fact: I've done well over 100 trades on the GW1/2 forums
Fact: I've never used a mediator
Fact: I've never been scammed
Fact: You were stupid hence why you got scammed.
