if you can't use the currency exchange maybe trade for mirror shards in future?

hes selling mirror, likely doesnt want to waste half a million gold, many people will sell mirror below faustus price due to the insane gold.

i always ask for collateral. i recall one guy who wanted to trade with me twice (my mirror), i asked for collateral, he went silent for a while then went offline. twice. at first i thought he dropped out, then same thing happened again. likely a scammer.

stay safe out there...

To be fair that was the first mirror I ever had. Ive never had proper time to spend on a league. I mean Im lucky i did not pay standard price for it but still not cool at all scam like this. And what is worse is that a mod simply wiped out his name out of this post. This guy [Removed by Support] i will get to him and get my d's back. That is war for me

dude you get like 40-50k by clearing an 8 modded map with fragments.
be smarter next time, its not ggg fault.

No one is saying is GGG fault the trade itself. But bots or suspicious traders should be monitored constantly.

Plus I had 3 million gold on Keepers and when we were migrated to standard my gold went missing.


It sounds like you are blaming me to get scammed. Scams happens but they should be taken seriously so players are not constantly scammed. Plus after sending details to GGG i was told that Trading Scams are not generally subject to ban, they simply "monitor" the account and if this happens constantly with the same account, over few scams they take action. There's no efficient system like to check on the chat log and trade log to verify he was offering on the website a price for exchange and he simply scammed other player. There's no put the account on hold or verification of the case. It's like yeah sure deal with it...But when I post the name of this mofo my post doesnt last 1min with it...Funny how GGG is fast to remove names but seems not to care about the issue itself.

Of course they did.

Just about every forum in the games industry has a "no naming and shaming" rule explicitly, or implicitly considers it to fall under more generally written anti-harassment policies.

Stop and think about what you're expecting;

• Forum moderation decisions potentially taking upwards of an hour as game logs are examined
• Forum moderators having access to game logs at all
• Inevitable cases where not everything is black and white - maybe there was ambiguity in how things were phrased, or messages were written in a language one person clearly struggled with
• As soon as the internet is given a Bad Guy™, they will instantly suffer a deluge of abusive messages across in-game messages and forum PMs - all of which constitutes more work for GGG
• It is possible to change both your account name and character names - leading to cases where the person being sent abusive messages might have had nothing to do with the original trade
• To say nothing of, arguably, one of the best defences to this kind of thing being the bad-faith actor rushing to the forum (possibly with altered screenshots) to drag your name through the mud first

I sincerely do empathise with you on the trade itself. That sucks, and the person is a loser. But in so far as the forum is concerned, I am sorry - your position is not remotely reasonable nor feasible.

That's a fair argument against harassment and for this i will no longer post the account name that scammed me here. But man idk if ever got scammed and I swear i spent plenty of hours farming to get this Mirror. And i'm sure further on i will have no time to do that again...It hurts and i wouldnt like anyone to experience the same...that was the only reason I was posting this scammer's account here. But sure man you convinced me. Thanks for your words.

so did u make this to warn other people about the scammer's account? game companies will always remove such a thing because they cant get definitive proof the scam happened. and even if they do, technically speaking u clicked accept in trade, im pretty sure this company only guarantees u dont get scammed from trade window, any scam from agreed upon pricing taking multiple trades GGG will likely not care. if they had a program that auto clicked ur accept button in trade window, im sure GGG will take it very seriously.

u can msg me his account name if u want, i will avoid trading with him in the future. i think u can also tell other players on discord about this scammer's account.
