Is scamming people is a reason to ban?

If you legitimately make a mistake, wouldn't you fix it when the other party said they got the wrong item? Seems like mass hysteria to think you're gonna get banned for making a mistake.

I have no issue at all if people are actualy calm and clever. See I put wrong item in and POLITELY AND KINDLY inform me about my mistake. Or at least in neutral tone. I will promptly try to fix it or undo the invalid trade while being sorry.

But If I put wrong item in trade because I trade at 1AM and I directly get messages like.
"LoL, nice scam attempt, enjoy your ban"

I will be betting few exalts on the fact that I will end up on that person ignore list even before I can process that sentence, yet alone process the situation, and then write back a proper reply.

All it takes is one tired support who see this incident and innocent person is banned.
That is the issue in my point of view. We people who have a lot of time invested , years of challenging and bunch of support packs. Simply FEAR that someone somewhere will make rushed decision and we will be punished for one mistake, that we got no chance of fixing.

GGG. Do. Not. Ban. People. After. ONE. Report.
It already takes a lot to get a scammer banned. If you get banned after a mistake, you can send them an e-mail with details and ask to investigate. There's a HUGE difference between targetted scamming and making mistakes.

found the ggg employee. but i think you just violated your nda.

fun aside:
what is targeted scamming?
what is scamming?
where is the difference?

why the fuxk can't they just fix the issue by making it impossible to remove items from the trade screen once you put them there?

they do symptom fighting and trying to scare players off to calm down the reddit xxxxx.


well, the scaring works, because the issue is: ggg openly states they flag accounts.

do you really think ggg support has access to data that show how often you trade per hour and how much you play per week?

fulltime players tend to support for convenience but they're also the ones where the flags on the account will add up pretty fast in opposite of a casual that really scams other players occasionally.

I really think GGG has access to information whether a player was reported 5 times in 5 years or 5 times in one week. I have no idea how their Support works, what they store, what they have access to, but I'm smart enough to know why they would ban certain behaviours, what the difference between targetted scamming and mistakes is, and why all these silly questions you and cronus asked are irrelevant. I'm also too smart to continue this discussion, so I'm going to go play games instead.
