Welcome to human society
There is some precedent although its exceedingly rare
It sucks that you lost all of your gold, but why in the world would you do that much, no middle man, all one trade with a stranger? You were absolutely begging to be scammed. The other guy would have to be a complete idiot not to scam you in that scenario.
I bet you wish Classic had the WoW token now, huh?
This seems like something that should be filed under âif youâre gonna be dumb, youâve gotta be tough.â
Bro you trade in chunks not the whole enchilada at once. Rookie mistakeâŚ
Wow tokens couldnât save this manâŚ
Not now, but if they were available in Classic we wouldnât be having this conversation.
You shoulda done a smaller transaction for maybe 100 dollars worth max. Losing 100 is whatever. 3k though ugh
Imagine going to this much effort to get TBC gold exchanged for retail gold. You couldâve earned more than enough money to play TBC but you chose an easy route and got what was coming to you.
how do you figure?
There is an old tale about a man being a fool and how his money is always parted⌠if only I knew what it wasâŚ
Yea⌠In business Iâm fond of the phrase âkeep an honest man honestâŚâ You trust⌠but you also establish controls and you verify. Its quite possible even someone with intentions that started out honest would be swayed by someone giving them 3k in untraceable money⌠Iâm sorry but⌠thatâs just a collosal blunder
Yea exactly⌠If youâre that reckless with that large a sum it was going to happen eventually, even if it was just an in-game tradeâŚ
we need tokens so people donât get tricked by thirdparty gold sellers; wonât someone think about the poor gold buyers!
or maybe they can just earn their gold legitimately??? am i missing something here i must be misrepresenting your actual opinion eh?
Good, play stupid games win stupid prizes.
There are also tales of people who are able to follow conversations and stay on topic.
That word doesnât mean what you think it means.
Iâd fill a ticket out saying you got hacked and they stole 32M of gold and gave it to somebody else.
They could easily check your toon and see whom it was given to, and even see if then he siphoned it off. They may find evidence heâs actually selling gold, for instance if heâs dispersing it to several different accounts etc.
You may not get it back, but they may suspend or ban his account and take the gold.
