For those of you people, especially the new people who just recently started playing this game. There have been a few people who are scamming the "noobs." I've seen atleast 2 people last night trying to scam people into buying a "Slime pet" in Rouman. I shouted and warned people not to buy pet slimes from them. I have some screen shots of a scammer, and I even talked to him, telling him to stop scamming. He didn't seem to care much, he even stated that he should sell it for higher after I told him to stop scamming. I'll post the screen shots later...
Anyways people who are unaware of this, there are a few people who have been putting up "Slime Jelly" and claiming they are pets for like 10s-18s (which is a low price for a pet) but slime jelly isn't a pet...it's a material/quest item. Obviously it would not fool any of the more experienced players, but for those new people, be aware!! Do not buy anything, until you double checked the item! A pet, usually is under the name "Mini-Slime Doll" and looks like a purple Token!
and for those of you who are scamming, It's bad enough that you are scamming! But it's really low when you scam "noobs!" Please stop these rediculous scamming for those of you who are doing this!

There has always been and likely will always be scams.
Yeah, he is advertising it as pets but it is clearly marked as scroll material.
I don't know about you but I am not so frivolous with my money that I don't check out the product before I buy.
Buyer Beware.
He is obviously an unscrupulous person and a scam artist but he really isn't breaking any rules that I am aware of.
If he was hacking the code somehow to change the name and information of what he was selling then you would definitely have something on him.
I guess this is strictly a judgment call for the GMs as to what to do about it if anything.
Just my opinion.
:D

this is just like the countless stores saying they're "buying (INSERT MAT HERE) for 15c each" when in fact they are only buying for 1c each.
So ALWAYS look at what the price is before u start selling and get gipped.

I'm not saying he is breaking any rules (that i know of) but it's just really low to do something like that and "noobs" don't deserve to be scammed like that, no one does, especially when making money is hard enough already. And yes you should always check what you are buying, but I'll be honest, if I had NEVER seen a pet before, I would probably think it was a pet.
Bottom line is, some people need morals...

you are right- I prolly would have thought it was a pet too, and just bought it real quick before they sold out.. lol

ya, its sad that people are doing this, but in the end its the nubes fault for not being carefull about looking at a product before they buy (or sell). i almost NEVER sell my mats to other players, unless they are a friend who needs them (and unless i need them ill usually just give them), or if the price is high enough, but i have yet to go to a purchase store thats buying mats for more than the NPC, well more than jut like 1 or 2c more anyways...
