Weird trades- BEWARE!

Post by Derpella »

@@@
OK, some people ask me in whispers what a bug it was, so I must admit, this whole post is sarcastic and this is a description of a method of scamming.

The best coding can't secure the most fragile part of machine- the user. Please, be cautious, people.

I wanted to trade very precious thing, worth 600k, for just 450k and 37 coals.

But somehow, every time I tried wait for both money and stuff to come and pressed offer, my manaplus client canceled trade for some reason... One time I pressed offer earlier and something weird happened... I got only 45000 on screen, and a person buying told me he can't add money, so I canceled.

A brave person which resisted about 10 trade failures, lost his heart to trade after that kind of bug...

Relief- he just needs to relog and it will be OK... But then , thanks to the stress probably, he noticed something he didn't noticed earlier:

It's an another bug we should know about! How can we play peacefully knowing some people are even unable to relog? Good thing, he noticed he already has a very valuable item... This bug saved him 500k, so maybe it has also a positive side?
Some may ask why I publish private conversation. Thankfully the player agreed:

So OK.

Sorry I'm not publishing it in bug forum, I have lags in my Firefox :(
I'm Image too much.

well scamming is not against the rules, if someone says its a bug in the money part they are lieing. You can hit change once more after already hitting change the first time. Just watch out ;)

It is not against the rules, but players have a right to warn each others about scammers.

Regards.
