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

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.
