I think that people have probably already posted about this in the forums. I'm sure they've complained about it. I'm sure that most of you know what I'm about to write down based on the title of this post.
People selling the Vit [2] warrior learning scroll for huge prices like 100-700s are indeed scammers in my opinion. Even if they DONT say they're selling the tier 2 scroll production skill. Why? Its simple. The warrior skill scroll costs 4 silver to buy. Any warrior knows this. Any warrior that buys their own skills (I'm assuming this is ALL of them). Now... I've messaged GMS about people that do this, included screenshots of them selling the scroll for scam prices and I've gotten the response back. "This is not actually a scam because they are not claiming to sell the Vit 2 alchemy recipe."
Now... that rankles... I know the only person in their right mind that would BUY a scroll for that much would believe that it was the vit 2 alchemy recipe. Nobody would buy the vit 2 warrior skill for that much. Not unless they did it for a joke or to try and justify selling the vit 2 warrior skill for 100-700s. Trying to JUSTIFY selling that scroll for that much is aiding and abetting scamming.
Now, the GMs saying the people selling the scroll for that much arent at fault and aren't scamming. Thats fine if thats their decision on the policy... That just means that its not the PLAYERS that are fault for all of the people who have bought the wrong scroll for hundreds of silver, many times spending ALL of their money for a rare scroll. Then WHO is at fault? Is it the people who don't know better? You could say that if you're totally heartless. Children play this game. Your average stoner plays this game. Judging by all the people that ruin the game for everyone else by griefing and training; the mentally impaired play this game. There needs to be something to protect the average joe and anyone who doesn't know better from these people who are in my opinion being dishonest in attempting to sell the vit 2 scroll.
If the GMs say banning or admonishing these players isn't what is supposed to be done... then at least make a service announcement saying to watch out for this. Tell players NOT to sell this for so much. If you cant even WARN players about this scam then.
CHANGE THE FRICKING NAME. If you won't even punish people who scam. Just rename the bloody ability name and solve all of this BS.
There are so many solutions to this problem.....
If you agree, if you know people who have accidentally bought this scroll thinking its the alchemy scroll... then post. Say you agree. Get them to change this because I'm tired of shouting in elderine warning people not to buy this scroll from scammers (which I will call people trying to sell this scroll for 100s-800s no matter WHAT anyone tells me)

P.S. If you disagree. If you think that people should pay this much for a scroll and that people who scam this money off of innocently ignorant people; just go post your vit 2 up in your bazaar and please don't flame this post. This topic doesn't need to be clouded anymore than it is.
