Well... You are a Staff member Jets... But nevertheless what he said is true, if you take the time to do background checks for large deals, be wary of newer players, and avoid deals that are too good to be true, you'll be fine.

 

I haven't been a Staff member forever, keep that in mind.

I also have known non-staff members that have been on the server for 1 year+ without getting scammed.

 

Of course, I realize that, though there's no denying that players are less likely to scam staff than a regular member :p

 

You'd be surprised...

I often get users obviously attempting to scam me, and I just avoid it as any other regular user.

 

If it were only that easy for everyone

The threads aren't that difficult to read and understand...

 

I agree but most people just don't read them. Horse, water, etc etc

That would be their own fault, no?

 

All I'm saying is that if you want people to do something you have to make it as easy and seamless as possible.
I'm not advocating use of this plugin, I'm just advocating for more trade related security for the less than savvy users to prevent them from getting scammed by the all too savvy.

You don't have to be savvy to read a thread, just don't be lazy.

If you wish to be lazy, simply don't complain about being scammed.

 

Firstly we have trade signs. Accessible by all of those ranked Resident+. For enchanted goods and other items that cannot be traded via trade signs, taking appropriate measures will ensure you do not get scammed; such as checking their history, using your common sense etc. When doing trades take screenshots.

I have had many try to scam me and can normally tell when someone has an intent to scam. There is no need for a trade plugin as all it will add is more bugs and more work. -1

 

That is one point of view. I like to see a more active approach... but then again I am not privy to the problems that arise from implementation of the "protect the lazy" route.
It might be lazy or it might be the lack of knowledge of how to help ones self

I must also add that none of the plugins you listed support the essentials money "system". Item to item trades are less common with people purchasing goods and selling goods for money.

 

Good point rock
