SCAMMING Scamming is the act of one player suggesting a trade to another and either a) taking the items and leaving or b) completing the trade, but having ripped the other player off. https://skyblock.net/threads/skyblock-server-rules.137983/ What can be done to ensure that you won't do this in the future?
i definently wont do it again now i know its against the rules. but could i ask like when is it ripping someone off like some people were selling the frogs for 120g and some for like 64g but like would lower than 64 be scamming or like when is it scamming. i totally get that what i did was not a fair trade but like when is it scamming and when is it cheap is what im trying to ask ig
It's hard to justify the prices of items in an ever-changing economy such as ours. At the time of your ban, the heads were averaging 120-150 grass each. In your instance, paying one enchanted diamond pick, valued at less than one grass, is considered scamming. It's hard where to draw the line for when it's 'cheap'. I'd say even 64 grass at the point where we were (with prices already exceeding 128 grass) is too low.
You also have to consider who you are trading with. In your instance, you were going to players who had only just joined the server and were offering ridiculously low prices for their heads. If the trade for 64 grass is with a well-established player who knows the head's worth and is willing to trade for that amount, there is no problem.
Staff know everything. ; ) Your ban will be reduced to one day. Thank you for cooperating and showing me that you're willing to learn what is and isn't scamming. Don't let this happen again, please.
