Can I see what everyone's opinions are on this? I'm really not comfortable playing with a user that has admitted to using an account that has been scammed. There seems to be a few arguments here, but it all boils down to 1 faction saying:
"everyone scams, whats the problem"
and another faction, which i would put myself in, saying:
"Im sorry, but what you have done is steal another users account, or benefit from the theft, so no, fuck off."
I believe if your going to lend out your account you have to always take the risk of being scammed. As for this statement "everyone scams, whats the problem" this is ultimately true almost every single person in the world has stolen something or scammed there way to get something without paying for it. People do it on a regular basis people pirate all kinds of stuff. If you tell me you have never stolen anything what so ever ill show you a lire. In regards to this statement "Im sorry, but what you have done is steal another users account, or benefit from the theft, so no, fuck off." Im sorry but they really don't care what your opinion is.
Was also reading throw the pages and some one said whats the difference between buying fg and buying items to scamming well there is a big difference.
If you pay fg for and item its like spending real money on an item. Weather it was not intended to be able to sell items in game for money is blizzards fault for not incorporating that type of system into the game. On the other hand when you scam thats like stealing some ones money or something from their house. Just because its a game it doesn't justify it being the right thing to do.
On a side note if d2jsp wasnt here and no site like it was around d2 would be retarded everything would revolve around Hrs and Soj and other rare items people would have accounts upon account of mfed items rotting waiting for some one to trade. I don't know about you but would you trade a buged tals armor for a full inventory of items like coa hrs etc i remember back before i used jsp trading like 40 hrs for perf coa who the hell has time to collect 40 hrs then find some one with the coa.
If you don't like the concept of d2jsp then why are you here? im not pointing this out to ferdia it was the guy that said the stuff about selling stuff vs fg and scamming.
i believe some scams/ thefts are good in my eyes it is ok to pirate stuff but if you going to scam people you play with and share a game with and you good buddy's what the hell are you doing you need to be smacked right. If you have the balls to steal from a friend then you are getting your self no where online or in real life.
