Description
When a player obtains an item from another player without giving what was asked for, in-game, in exchange for it or without them realizing the item is no longer in their inventory, contrary to their desire through any kind of social engineering, deceit or tampering with the game client.
Possible measures
- Deletion of the involved items or currency
- Deletion of all inventory (including transferred inventory to other accounts)
- Temporary deactivation of the commerce systems
- Temporary deactivation of the account (from 2 weeks to 1 year)
- Permanent deactivation of the account
Avoidance
Make sure to discuss the terms of the transaction with the other party in the game chat before proceeding. Being sure about what both parties will receive, will avoid any kind of misunderstanding between the parties, and thus minimize the possibility of abuse. Double check the name of the players involved, as sometimes they can use similar names to players you know. Any merchant will agree that it’s important to pay attention to these signs when conducting any kind of transaction.
