There's a glitch in the stall network that can leave the IMAGE of a sold item in your inventory, but it's not usable (or even movable) and will go away eventually.

The problem is that people are now using this glitch to scam people. They are saying it duplicates the item and they prove it to you by telling you to sell them something simple... like arrows... you get the money for the arrows but you still SEE THEM in your inventory. So you get excited... then they ask you to sell them a "COPY" of your SOM weapon (which is why they targeted you to begin with). Thinking the trick really works, you gladly sell them a copy of your weapon cheap... then you realize you can't re-equip the remaining image of your weapon and reality starts to set in pretty hard.

-EDIT- No, it didn't happen to me... it happened to a union member who is smart enough to know it was probably a scam, but fell for it anyway when he (thought he) saw that it worked.

Oh you poor thing if that happened to you...

I'm not sure I should post how this bug works exactly because I don't want to propagate the scamming.

Is it better to tell everyone how to do it, or just to let them know to beware of the scam?

let them know to be aware.

if they really wanted to find out it's not hard

so how can you tell the item is fake?

Thx for information Mush. I'll be careful then.

I'm sure there's a lot of idiots in babel trying to do that kind of scam you just mentioned.

i know how it works
its evil

Umm you cant use it... Nor move it or drop it

It usually does this when your outside a town and register it with the stall network, they get the item and such and youll still see it in your inventory, you relog, tele or scroll it will be gone from your inventory

lol lay off the emo kid

I thought the "outside city limits" thing was just so that nobody else trolling the stall network would get the goods... I haven't tested whether it's part of the bug or not. It doesn't matter either way. Identifying a scam should be easy enough for most people anyway. The same red flags are everywhere on this one... "Hey friend, come with me to a safe place" yadda yadda... haha.

thx for the info.

A guild member of ours was scammed through this method. We managed to get her gears back thanks to a great union. Yeah, never stall anything outside of town and offcourse never fall for promises that sounds too good to be true. There are no pots of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Something else that I also heard is that you should not open the stall if anyone have allready entered it. Don't know though if this is a part of the scam method.

why you told everyone?


now I'll never get my sun shield :S

lol

why did u post?

why not? lol. it isnt that hard to figure it out at all, and youre warned now, uff. i mean, everyone knows about that item auto share trick too, and we're all still alive, so it doesnt seem to have been that bad to make it public.
