Will I get banned
First and foremost, I am a totally new player in PoE2 (60hrs so far) and I wanted to trade for item X, and saw it costs 200 golden heads, in my mind it is exalted orbs, and I keep forgetting that there are also divines, I went to the player with 200 exalts, and started the trade. I waited with the 200 orbs in the trade inventory, and checked what it actually costs, since the other player did not put the item in, and saw that it was divines and not exalts. I promptly said, and I quote: "wait, sry, I read as exalt", and cancelled the trade.
The other player, told me that this is a banable offense, and that he will report me. Now the question, will I get banned for it, considering the following points: 1. No trade happened 2. I acknowledged my mistake before he threatened to report me. Last bumped on Dec 27, 2024, 6:57:06 PM

no, you're safe, actual scams like this happen all the time and nothings done about it.

You are fine, no one was scammed the trade system worked as intended, even if he accepted you would not face a ban, not unless you regularly scam people and have been reported multiple times.
Be aware though that you CAN get banned scamming people, it's just not an instant, one infraction and ban. Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi

I wouldn't worry about it. It won't be the first, nor the last time, that someone accidently has the wrong currency in the trade window. It simply goes with the territory. I've done it before, and nothing of note happened, aside from me cancelling the trade and moving on.
Now, obviously, there's a way to fix this, but, it's not popular. But it would fix it! |

Would be nice if they alowed name and shame as it would not take them much to check the chat log to spot a scammer.

Well mistakes can always happen and nothing bad happened, I don't see why you should get banned for it, the other guy probably just wanted to scare you.

" The problem with name and shame is that it's all to easy for someone to just say Spurilious#4012 is a scammer and keep going with it to the point where it would fuck a totally innocent player because some idiot wanted to do that. Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi
