    No one is teaching scammers. They're just telling people to look out for a scam that's already being used.

    I kinda agree with LiteRary here, I compared them myself and I feel as though they are different enough. If something seems too good to be true (i.e very low price) then it usually is, and if it is indeed a considerably low price item, I would hope people have the moral judgement to make sure with the owner that the price is set correctly ;)

    Happens with any pet, you think you’re buying a level 49 pet, but the scammer swaps it with a level 0 pet, there’s always a confirmation tab tho.

    Well isn't that pretty old? It's been pretty much dealt with, the only part left is for players to realize that the pet isn't level 49.

    Sometimes they forget to check cause they might be excited, or just make a honest mistake

    Well they could put a HUGE text on it like LEVEL:27 for example

    Big, bold, red/ coloured text would be a good way to make important details, like pet level, stand out.

    additionally it could be written out. i.e one instead of 1. Someone would notice ‘LEVEL FIFTY’ in red color more than they notice “Level 1”

    but it should be with numbers since maybe some ppl that dont speak english cant understand "fifty"
  • CanItBeDoneCanItBeDone The Universe; The Milky Way Galaxy; The Solar System; Earth; North AmericaMember
    Well yea, putting up a huge text makes it more obvious, but you know, you'll always have some guy who gets scammed even though all these scam prevention methods were implemented. Taking a previous example, people might just get too excited and purchase it immediately. Ignoring the text in the process. To make this clear, I'm not against the idea, just wanted to point this possibility out.

    OR MAYBE add like a number on the icon? Like if it’s level 1 you’ll see a small 1 (almost invisible) on the spider den
  • SirKewberthSirKewberth EdenForum Administrator, Forum Moderator, Game Developer
    Yeah well this is not the sort of scam I was concerned with to be honest. At some point if people won't read they won't read. I thought maybe there was a way to actually fake the description to show the wrong level or something like that.

    If the seller put level 49 pet first and you click it. It will show Level 49 pet. But when he swaps the pets it still shows level 49 pet unless you click the pet again. That got me once e.e
    But I saw the 2nd confirmation window thankfully...
