    Damsel:
    If the scammers get banned, then the people being scammed need to be banned to, as they're just as guilty.  Buy/sell Myshop?  Against the Terms of Service.  Share login info?  Against the Terms of Service.  Pick up a keylogger?  You went to malicious websites.  Someone got lucky and guessed?  You failed at coming up with a secure password.

    Erhm, Damsel, there's nothing in TOS said that it's against the rule to sell/buy points, it's just not encourage. Other games have such rules, but not this one :P Not everyone playing on TO have real life money to spend, so as Zephy was saying, I think that's why they're keeping mum about this, because either way, they have their income. But as we were saying, don't be stupid, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is @__@ Seriously, 2/3 mil per K? Don't make me laugh.....Half and half? You're kidding. Etc. Think before you act.


    Life is short, enjoy it while you can. And lay off the weeds.

    I've edited the post to change the wording a bit for the practice of myshop trading.  Instead of saying that it's "Forbidden by the TOS,"  I've said it's "Greatly discouraged by Ntreev"

    You are incorrect.  The Terms of Service may not say in exact words, but it is there.  It says in there that you may not perform any action that is not directly supported by in-game functions.  There is no function for trading MyShop points for galder.

    It also says in there, in very clear language, that you may not buy or sell galder for real-life money.  And that is exactly what MyShop-to-galder exchanges are.

    I must admit, I have been scammed during my earlier days in Trickster, but it is my first mmorpg after all, and I've been stupid. ^^ Nice guide, it'll definitely benefit people who are ultimate newbies on the world of online gaming too. :)

    Re: Guide on How to Avoid being Scammed

    pity most ultimate newbies will be scammed by the time they either find out or relize that a forum exists. in fact i feel that most don't find out about it until they do get scammed and are trying to complain to someone.

    powee:
    Hehe, nice guide but >.> But it in the "guides" section wont ya?XD

    People don't go to the "guides" section to talk about being scammed, and being scammed isn't usually covered under "Question and Guides,"  but under General Discussion.  If you notice, this isn't the only guide stickied in the general discussion.
