Embarrassing to say but i fell for this 2 weeks ago.

Paid 11x 3/20/20

I came back recently to D2R like 3 weeks ago and decided to buy a perf griffon. (After 3 years break)

Forgot jewels had defense in it lol

After i bought it, i realized the guy blocked me. Oh well. Hard lesson learnt.

thats clever. alot of ppl will assume its a 7/9/9 jewel lol. and with the prices of perf griffons alot of ppl may rush the trade to get it. I can see ppl not thinking it has a +def jool to make it perf. hell it might not.

its an old scam that existed on d2 and lod before d2r.

the reason why people are so shocked :cry: is because they are not legit 25+ d2 vets that have seen it all. i really did start d2 in 2000 and d1 in like what 96? so been around the block

i think most of the d2 base either died, went to prison or played other games. a few of us who have seen every scam instantly knows that scam.

i would do it all the time with hoz 180 ed ones or 180+ i cannot tell you how many times you can get players to buy a 210+ ed hoz if you just tell the player "over 200 ed is perf" and they just buy it if you socket with a pul rune. selling random trash deaths fathom that is 25 mastery then add a random cold facet with 5 cold mastery and rand -% res = 30% cold mastery and the noob only sees that number and the item is instantly sold (most of the time) because they dont have attention to detail.

i have not heard of anyone using autoit scripts to drop items in d2r yet but the level of damage that can be done in a few seconds is totally crazy and you can close d2 / force the computer to restart. anything is possible since you can script it.
