SMH. Not wings. 2m vs 200k to let ppl think its a steal. Do I win anything? Better not be demon wings

These people are getting smarter. By the end of PKO they'll all be marketing geniuses.

On a more serious note. I understand people should always double check price before buying, but can we please ban these kind of players? @Zankza

I don't like how there is no penalty for sneaky stalls. We don't need to hunt them all down, just ban a few to discourage players from this kind of behavior.

and how do you know that person didnt add 0 zero by mistake? we sometimes miss zero, or add extra zero, that happens o.o how can you know if its on purpose or if its mistake

1. Obvious behavior. 2. Repeated behavior

1. 1st post of demon wings is a no brainer.
2. Consistently setting stall with 1 stack of fairy coins priced with extra 0. As a frequent fairy coin buyer, I know for a fact that those two are always trying to scam.

I quoted you, so obviously I am talking about your picture, as you said first one is no brainer, the fact that he have those wings on stall is enough
I am all in the favor of punishing those players ( i would remove all their cash from inv, no banning, simply so they have to start from zero,and they learn a lesson)

But there would need to be some way to protect players from getting punished, if they actually made mistake...
1. if player is reported more then once, at different times (cos we could report in 10mins difference, so that shouldnt count as 2 reports)

which also makes things bit complicated, as somone would have to make track of the players, and their repeated behaviour...
or we could have forum topic like this, where you report player with screenshot, and its easier to see if somone has repeated same behavior more then once

Most current mmorpgs have auction houses/trading posts so this kind of thing doesn't happen :/

Stall is free market, we will NOT enforce or determine which stall is "polite"

I disagree. It has nothing to do with "polite" stalls. It is outright scamming.

I'm not saying the devs and GMs should go around checking every stall, but if players are able to report obvious behaviors of scamming, then it should be dealt with.

Also here is another screenshot of the same person stalling Fairy Coins at scam price. If you're a buyer of Fairy Coins, watch out for the guy Rexx.

I agree it's not cool but if someone actually falls for it, it's entirely their fault and I highly disagree with GMs holding players' hands and protecting them from any possible scams, especially ones which are this obvious.

I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around the idea that there is literally no consequence for trying to scam players though stalls. Ah well~ I give up lol
