Scamming is for three kinds of people. 1. Nasty people who like to rip of new players for profit 2. Desperate people who want grass/diamonds/god items 3. Evil blackhearted people who do it for fun. Either way, nobody likes scammers (I'm looking forward to seeing who disagrees with this statement.) Sometimes, even scammers don't like scammers. I can't tell you how many times I've offered to trade a diamond for a piece of string to a new player, only for that player to take the diamond and "scam" me. Of course, I don't really get anything either way, but it hurts. After all, its the thought that counts.
God items aren't rare…. 100 donors and up I think are able to make them. I was kind of looking forward to something a bit more informative… >.>
Well, yes. However, if you monitor chat for a few minutes, you'll see that god items are sought after by new players, because they think they are extremely valuable. Of course, I am a donor myself, so I know they're not. I see what you mean though.
If both people agree to a trade and it is completed but you overpayed, that is not a scam. If it was incomplete and one person did not get the respected items, then it is a scam.
FromLegoUniverse, As I said, I often help new players by trading them valuable items(diamonds) for strings, or sticks, or such. I am, of course, talking about times when the new player refuses to give the string, takes the diamond, and logs off.
