Werewolf and Vampire Bite Scam SOLUTION

Brown_Coat

It is no surprise to see that everywhere you look people are getting scammed out of currency and items just to receive a bite. I myself was taken for 10k silver. It was only after a generous biter sought pity on me did I get vampirism. Afterwords I thought of a very simple solution to prevent any more players from getting scammed.

Make the bite an item that can only be viewed and performed in the trade window. Much like gear or food you have to select out of a long list the things you want to trade. Make the bite a service that shows up in the 'To be traded' column and when both parties agree and submit the bite is performed instantly. Sure you can still have the animation but the disease would already be transferred so if a person tries interrupting the action they won't get away with it.

ESO I implore you to make this fix, I will provide bites once a week without currency exchanged but there are literally thousands of players doing the scam and thousands more getting scammed, enough is enough.

Agreed. Some kind of solution at least should be tried and tested to stem the tide of scammers all over.

Or just know when you can trust people or not.
I would say this would take some immersion of the game. Plus it will break the mechanic for roleplayers.

I've never had problems with the bites (I also pay always more than bargained).
There are also many guilds which provide bites for free.

How would it break immersion or effect RP if the animation was still present? If anything it would add to the RP aspect and the immersion because it was a process that could be done with a built in system in game instead of having to just send gold and hope.
