So at least in Tarlach, there is/are player(s) who go around pretending they're the alts of guild masters and asking for items, only to log off and sell it for a ridiculously low price for a profit afterwards. These scammers often target expensive items such as Wings and New-Gacha items while also being relatively obvious about their attempts (If you ask them about your Guildmaster, they know nothing except for the IGN).
On Tarlach, some retard managed to get his Blue Diamond Wings stolen. I don't know who it is, but the person selling it for unusually cheap is the scammer.
I know a large majority of us are smart enough to know something's wrong but... just take precaution. If you doubt someone, ask them to come on their main (aka, Guild Master character) instead of trusting them with your high-value items.
I don't know, it's really dumb that I have to write this up, but considering me and other guildmates were targeted by this scammer, AND others have already fallen for it, spreading the word can't be harmful anyways.
It's really REALLY sad that people fall for this...

Do not negatively mention the names of players in Nexon games, this includes the discussion of hackers or other such activity. This applies to defamation of guilds as well.
Note: This is to prevent possible "flame wars" starting in defense of players or guilds.
Sorry, you have to block/censor/remove that person's name.

Honestly, you're right. I don't even know why I'm even worried about the idiots who are dumb enough to fall for this shit. All I should be concerned about are my friends and guildmates, who I've already warned.

Thanks for doing the messy work for me. I still feel that the post itself is good enough to deliver my point so I'll just keep it as it is.

People are not born with an ability to tell that someone is about to deceive them, especially in a game - they have to learn somewhere.
You did a good thing.

I have no idea how any one could fall for this type of scam.
Oh well, thanks for the heads up I guess.

i can tell ya it's a thing on Mari too they're just not really successful/active there.
At least i had someone who wanted to try on my White Demon wings i wear on an Alt saying that she is Tetosan, my Guild Master.
Well i have multiple of my Alts in my Own Guild so the scam was obvious still i choose to have a bit of fun with them saying they're still 30 minutes sealed so i can't trade them yet, started talking to them and after app 30 minutes i had my Girlfriend come up to me and say "Honey, could you log on Tetosan and give me that Dye you promised me."
i'm surprised that girl even stayed that long instead of logging off and trying to scam someone else... XD

after seeing both. i'd say they are still pretty alive and kicking. especially this forum site. tarlach i don't have too much faith in though. when i first joined mabi 3 years ago, tarlach was one of the most populated servers. then for some reason, alexina just dominated.
still, giving anyone a warning about this stuff, no matter if you shouldn't have to or not, is very very honorable.

What do you mean no reason? They got the "NEW!" tag on their server for character creation for 5 years straight! Of course they're going to get all the new players over that time. Ever since it was removed, I've seen TONS more newbies around Tarlach.

I didn't mean "dead" dead (if that makes any sense) but rather "kinda empty, compared to what I'm used to." But it's not necessarily a bad thing mind you. That was about Mabination. When it comes to Tarlach server... let's just say that having a raid boss killed here is a rather rare occurrence.
