Scamming

[ThisRedPanda74]

I know in the rules it says it’s allowed, but why should it be.
IRK scamming is bannable, but eventually, people will gain money from scamming and trade it for IRL deals, that’s use of fraudulent money.

Theres no benefit for it being allowed and there’s many ways in which it can be stopped with proper proof.

If you say no to the Poll, please explain why

too much work for the staff and people will warn abt scammers in chat anyway, so no one will want to do their irl deal ?

People will actually get something off irl deals, so people will do them. Many players lose money to scams and that leads to them quitting

Both of the reasons stated so far don’t explain the point on “why?”

I wasnt scammed, but many others have, and there’s nothing you can do (as a player) about it

they probably dont have it as a punishment for ingame scamming because that was your choice you made and you should not have done that or known that you could loose money from something ingame. Also its probably not a punishment because you dont suffer any lose other than in game money that you can make back with time

Hey, I'm going briefly describe why is scamming with in-game items not punishable. First of all, it would be really hard to identify what is exactly "a scam" due to people not knowing the prices on the server and also hard for us, the Staff team to investigate any situation related to scamming with In-Game items, because there would be a bunch of difficult reports to handle. Also, we would have to monitor those deals as well, which would take a lot of time and could cause a lot of issues. You can avoid getting scammed by paying attention to what you buy/sell and also who you're trusting or not. And that's why only if you got scammed and suffered a real-life financial loss, that will result in a punishment for the other player if you report them with enough evidence. If you need another response from a Staff member, you could find it there: https://invadedlands.net/threads/lazer_the_greats-suggestion.55601/page-2#post-321551.
If you have more questions, feel free to start a conversation with me on the forums.
