Warning - scam about "cheat to enhance warlord helmet"

[aroleon]

User "hayley" claims to have a key to activate a cheat to enhance the warlord helmet. You are asked to drop the helmet so that he can "bless" it, then pick it up again afterwards.

I didn't fall for it, but others might.

Tried to contact gm's at @wgm, but have to go out, so I don't have time right now to wait around for an answer.

hope this helps,

aroleon: I'm 99.9% sure that "hayley" is in fact none other than:

• ange1234
• devils angel
• etc.

ange1234, &c., is chronic thief and liar. So any talk of him/her stopping this way of playing are not to be trusted. How the GMs wish to deal with this remains to be seen.

You are absolutely right!

An IP check has shown that this is indeed the case.

Also beware of:

pumba
snoop dog
hot man
noname123
...

they're all him!!

so ? ...

what line of action will you have ?

so... we, players, know we have to ignore... but not every player is on forum and reads all the posts, are you going to make global announcement every hour? or block this IP ?

Why is this being discussed here? Scamming is a part of the roleplaying aspect of the game. Shady though it may be, such things should be handled by the players. I also strongly disagree with outting character names. Guilds could choose to scam a rival guild or they could post warning in the Player Talk forums and/or their guild page on who is scamming people. In other words, the guilds and their leaders should be handling this problem, not GMs. Personally I think that merchants with good reputations could be applauded by various player groups as "trusted" while the opposite could be done to those that player groups don't trust.

Request this thread be moved to "Player Talk" where it belongs and the names exposed through GM privilege be removed.

Once again, I am happy to act on a scammer (warning, then temp ban for serious/repeat offenders) but the ultimate action should be taken by players.

If you don't want to loose your gear, don't lend it to other players.

For the record. GM's can not "improve" weapons and armor, so why would a player be able to do it for you?

A little common sense should keep you out of trouble.

Locked. =)
