Yeah sure so much "your fault" that GGG ended up adding resources to fix it.
Stupid mentality I'm glad only a small part of players have such obtuse views.

No it only took this long because ggg wanted people to take responsibility for their own actions and the small group of players [the correct ones] have the obviously foreign idea of people growing and improving as people. Getting scammed in a video game for pixels has been around since the commodore 69 and its better off for people if they simply shake their heads and let the scammer have the rather insignificant amount they got away with, move on and get better over it. Simply banning people is A) only going to turn more people into whiny little bitches and B) only going to make the banned people make new accounts and continue scamming. Thats all thats ever happened, and its all thats ever going to happen.

Rheddit and the official forums and now going to be absolutely flooded, FLOODED with scamming videos most of which arent conclusive and some of which are scams themselves trying to illegitimately get others banned. GGG didnt want this at all. Your take is amusing to the small part of players though.

preach it sh00p. they implemented a system to keep people safe, people are trying to bypass the system to gain speed or something idk and getting scammed because of it.
play the game, enjoy the game, stop trying to buy your progress and you won't get scammed.

I so glad shitty players are no longer able to scam without any risk. I guess the ones screaming about scam ban are themselves scammers or bad mannered traders.
There's no flood, in the same way than rarity is not increasing chances to get exalted orbs ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

You've either never gotten drunk or are always drunk. Hard to tell which.

The weak and stupid get scammed, thatโ€™s just the circle of life.

I canโ€™t believe this is even an issue lol. Itโ€™s pretty easy to avoid being scammed, Certainly for larger amounts, and who even cares if you get scammed for like 10c or something lol jesus people are going to make videos for this?

ehhhh... it's impossible to avoid putting yourself in a position to be scammed when offering services. one person has to go first and one person can scam easily

just like d2jsp. the only thing stopping people scamming like crazy is the fact you can get banned (and mediators but those are really only used on big trades)

though you can always be in the position to not get scammed just like in d2jsp you can always go second it's really not a solution to the problem

I mean no matter how you look at it you can argue it's your fault. they aren't wrong about that. you know you're putting yourself in a position to get scammed

the whole trade scam I'd like to think never happens... I'm just talking about service scams

as much as it pains me to agree with poopnose24.
if you get scammed, it's your fault for trusting someone who you shouldn't.
if you are worried about being scammed it's super easy not to be just read the items and don't use anyone who's not a friend/vouched well as a service
also the guy running the service, if legit, will usually be alright with 1/2 and 1/2 or even full payment at end if you're a friend
being scammed is awful but it's almost always on the person who got scammed.


so what you're saying is that only half a scam isnt a scam? lol...
