PSA: AVOID TRADING other players that you do NOT know

There is something dodgy going on with trading right now where players can alter what’s in the trade window once accepted.

I don’t know how they are doing it but it’s going rampant on Dreamscythe right now.

This is just a caution to those out there to avoid trading other players that you do not know, do not get scammed.

This happened to one of our guildies. He had to put in two tickets to get his gold refunded.

absolute state of anniversary :expressionless:

Yes happened to a guildie as well and the person was outed on the Dreamscythe Discord with screenshots etc, someone recorded it.

Be careful trading with anyone right now :skull_and_crossbones:

Literally just saw in chat like the 10th person getting scammed by some warlock on nightslayer lol

No surprises it’s on Nightslayer too… I’ve tried to warn people but people still getting caught out.

It’s an old trick. They wait for you to accept first. Then they quickly change something and immediately accept. The change will undo your accept, but lot of ppl just think they did something wrong or forgot to accept and get rushed by seeing the other side of the trade is green and is waiting for them accept n press accept again without double checking the change.

No it’s an actual thing, I think it’s WeakAura from what I’m reading.

Yeah its definitely a form of cheating, not just scamming someone.

What does this even mean?

This EXACT SCAM works on Era, and theyve been doing it on Era since Era didnt exist and it was just “classic”

Ppl were doing this back in BWL and AQ LOL…
