Player Trade scamming Fix

So I noticed a problem with the trade system when I was scammed in a trade with a player. When you go to accept a trade a player can quickly remove his items and accept the trade while you accept the trade even though they made a change. This puts the person that attempts to accept the trade first at a disadvantage. I believe that adding a confirmation screen which displays the proposed trade that is unable to be modified would fix this issue. At this point it would be a second confirmation which would only be allowed to be approved or denied by both players removing the scamming ability that seems to be sweeping through the Xbox one NA server. I am uploading a video of a recent encounter with a scammer who was making his rounds in the Xbox NA server<iframe src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=0DA3D282D4FFCBC2&resid=DA3D282D4FFCBC2%21324&authkey=AItw-AzTOve_bPI" width="320" height="180" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen></iframe>

✭If the other person changes what they're trading then the toggle for you okaying the trade will be un-toggled. That way you will both need to okay what is currently there before you go ahead with the trade.
If it's not working like that then it'll be a bug and you might be able to get your stuff back.I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

navyspeed✭✭✭So the toggle doesn't last long enough. Because he was able to remove it the second before I accepted it. I would also think a 5 second cool down of the accept option after the trade has been altered would work.Edited by navyspeed on December 19, 2015 5:32AM0

✭It appears to be a console issue then. On PC, the moment you change what is offered, they will have their blue "okay" gone, so there is no way to get the trade to complete in the way he did.I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!
