Quote (ArcheAge FAQ)
Are players allowed to scam other players in-game in ArcheAge?
Yes. ArcheAge is a highly competitive PvP game and skullduggery will be a weapon of choice just as sharp as a sword (and possibly even more potent).
I'm new to the game and I'd like to avoid being fucked in the ass and I'm sure there are other people, who feel da same.
Obviously any kind of "50% before, 50% after" kind-of trade is risky, but I'm sure there are other less obvious ways to scam..
It feels like people are always schemin' to rob you in this game.

Schemers gonna scheme, I suppose...
So I was wondering if there are any experienced ArcheAge players, who can/will shed some light on the less transparent ways of scamming... so we, da noobs, can avoid the pitfalls of ArcheAge.
