Please make offering 13m to noobs for WS/CS/Pouch5 a bannable offense

Disclaimer: I agree

The issue lies where at that point the staff must dictate what the acceptable market price is for that item, and must determine whether its an accidental "low ball/purchase" or a genuine scummy buyer.

It opens a giant spiderweb of issues which is why it likely hasnt been pursued or mentioned in TOS, and the staff/mapletips specifically state with a pop up when you pull a ws/cs to research the value of the item before considering selling it.

It's not really the buyers fault the seller chose not to read the notice, and therefore look into the value of a MP5

 

Also drop ign

 

As much as I agree and also wish the people who do this to newbies a very stub your toe, it's just not realistic to make it a bannable offense for the reasons Sweat mentioned.

I really hate to be that person, but it's unfortunately just a mistake that the newbies have to move on and learn from. There's already a notice that states its a rare and valuable item when you first get one from gacha.

 

just frame it differently and it's allowed on tos

 

Falling for a lowball is, unfortunately, just a skill issue.

 

This is an oldschool server
Noob trading is old school

 

just put a 24-hour lock on ws if sold/traded by any players level 50 & below.
the WS is locked in after being traded from level 50 or lower, this gives the victim time to investigate and reverse the damage.

but not sure how that new player will even know if they were scammed or not lol
GL i guess

 

Will that help if we make pouches (or just pouch 5) untradable and force them open the pouch and sell coins?

Because there's more smegas buying or selling coins.
Hopefully they will learn the price from that.

 

Another potential solution could be to not generate the yellow line on a low level account's first ws/cs. No solution will ever be scam-proof, but scammers are often able to work by preying on a confused player believing they need to act quickly before they've fully understood what they've pulled. As cool as the yellow line may be, are we really doing new players a service by alerting the entire server that they have an item they may not know the value of? The pop-up notification (maybe with slightly different text?) should do a decent job of telling the player they have something special, without the immediate pressure to sell.

 

they are already hand held by giving them a notification on their first ws cs.
if they read it it says to investigate prices or something.

 

i once got a cs on my mage mule and people pm-ed to ask if i was selling. when i asked them for how much, i get prices way below 50% of what 90c is valued for. LOL

 

I've been offered lowballs for WS/CS on my lv 200 main that were well under 50% market price lmao

 

The "issue" is that staff don't have a good way to determine between lowballing and straight up misleading/scamming someone to basically give them an expensive item. But if someone solicits another user with a wildly low price, isn't it obvious what's going on? Once might be an honest mistake, doing it routinely should be bannable.

 

how can it be scamming if u agree to sell ur ws for certain price?
Scummy? Yes. Scam? No

 

Assuming that extreme low-balling a new player is not considered scamming...

Would it be public accusation if the seller was to smega out this person's ign and offer amount?

 

I'm not sure how much community policing can really even be done, as you can sca-- take advantage of a new player on a burner mule nearly as effectively. Losses to taxes pale in comparison to the profit from a single success.
