doesn't Zos have a ToS rule against this? Every mmo I've played even f2p/p2w korean ones have rules against this, and they do stuff about it. ff11 and ff14, heck even WoW i've seen ppl get the banhammer for trade scams.

They do. Its called, "ZoS does not support face to face trading. We provide the guild trader system for trading."

SHouldnt your changing the item require the buyer to re-confirm the purchase?

Should.. However it fails to do so and allows the scammer to rip people off nilly willy style.

Still waiting on that video using dropped food or other effectively worthless (to lose) items.

Any change to the trade window from either party requires reconfirmation from both parties.

If you're hitting Submit the second time through on autopilot, it's lack of awareness, not existence of an exploit.

I will say, the only time I got a solution from ZOS was to stay with it, they will send you the auto email response. Don't let it stop there if you want a solid resolution respond asking them for further help usually the second email is not from an auto response. Just my own experience as they can be helpful, but they have a lot of stuff they have to work through from tickets that you have to get in communication with an actual person to have an actual conversation before anything will be done

And like others have said use cod, I am fine paying the fee because in the long term it's better to lose some gold then to be scammed out of everything

Feel bad for you OP, but use cod for trading if you need too.

And if you think scamming is bad, try Eve Online

If you trade in insecure ways it's your own fault to be honest. I mean you can trade via guildstores, direct trading or COD where nobody can scam you. That said I have never made any experiences with people trying to scam me. I think the majority of players is very honest, but of course there are few ***** in every community.

This happened to me once. Someone offered 32 dro wax at 3k a pop. I said I'll take them all. We did a trade he put the wax in the trade screen and he had practice this before because the second I put my money in and went to click trade he pulled a fast one on me and un did his trade and re traded boom 100k gone. I told him he was a cheat and I was reporting him. He quickly gave all the wax I paid for and ask me not to report him. I reported him immediately and 5 min later I see "wts 32 dro wax 3k a pop". Lol I was like BOTTER!!!!!!

How did he scam you?

Also you got scammed so it is your fault.

If somebody in real life shows you an expensive watch, you want to buy it because the offer seems great and they do the old switch-a-roo, give you a box with the apparent watch in, you hand over the money and walk away. You later open the box to reveal an invaluable rock... it's your fault, right? You should have checked the box.

It's a manipulation if you time it out just right you can predict when someone will click ready and just before they do that you undo your trade and re accept with nothing on your end. It's shady and happens.
