So yes, I'd like to say I got robbed, by such and such player, but I know naming and shaming is against the rules, but if I'm not mistaken isn't it a major offense to rob a player through trade correct? In which case I should contact CS and report them correct?

Story is as follows, here I am searching for a shield with Nirnhoned Trait, I have Nirncrux figured a trade would be fair 1000g and a piece of Nirncrux for a Nirnhoned Shield, group and meet up, send them a piece of Nirncrux to make said shield. Then they magically Log Off while still grouped up. Now I could give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this, internet problems, etc, but at this point I highly doubt it. I do have evidence from chat logs, for CS if that's the case, but I'm not even looking at getting the items and gold back just that in all fairness justice is served.

Granted I know I probably shouldn't have trusted said person, but generally I've found the community of ESO very good in regards to everything. Either way should I report to CS about this?

    Yes, report it, if he did it to you he'll do it to someone else. ZOS must have chat logs to prove what you're alleging and they'll see he logged off.

    You can't be sure, but to be safe in the future, use the game's trading system:

    Let them craft the nirnhoned shield first, then trade the shield for the Nirncrux.

    This way both of you have to agree for the sides of the deal, and once anyone changes their side, you have to agree once again.

    A better way would be to find an experienced crafter who can afford to buy the nirncrux themselves and make the item, then get them to COD it to you for the expenses + profit they need for the transaction.

    This has happened in the past with vampire bites for example. People will hand over gold expecting to receive a bite, but instead the person offering a bite logs off and blocks the person paying with no consequences. Its totally wrong to do but technically they can get away with it.

    Yeah, I know. Most trades I've done I've always used either COD, or traded in person and waited until all things were placed into the menu. I should have done the same in this case, but I was in a hurry and another group was waiting on me.

    I probably should have figured something was up after they asked how much pieces of Nircrux were going for. Either way I'm not really expecting much from CS, no point in crying over something in a video game have better things to do with my life.

    I don't even care if I get my stuff back or not, only thing I care about is that said player doesn't do it to another player.

    The only thing that really upset's me about this whole thing is I broke one of my rules about trusting someone on an MMO and the one time I did of course and goes and backfires on me.

    We should be able to hold people accountable for their actions and not suffer backlashes from ZOS. The internet has made it easier than ever for those with no morals to take advantage of other people. If someone is being dishonest in trading in the game, we should be able to let Trade guilds know about it. They should be aware of these people because who's to say that they won't do the same to the Guild banks? Granted there are limits that Guild leaders can put on removing items from the Guild Banks but not all of them do it. The point is, if someone is doing something dishonest over and over again we should be able to for warn others about said person and not have to worry about getting punished by ZOS.

    Thank you Molly, I did submit a ticket last night although I'm not sure there is much they can do in this instance, but if there is CS will show how awesome they are.
