It has come to our attention that many players are being "scammed" with offers of gifted items for goods in game. Please be aware that if you choose to do this you are at the mercy of the the other player to carry out their end of the deal. We do not recommend doing this unless you are absolutely with out a doubt sure the player will hold up their end of the bargain. In addition support is not responsible for the loss of goods. In game there is a trade system that you can use to trade goods, this system and only this system is supported by us. That being said If you choose to trade goods for gifted items that is your choice to do so, but keep in mind that you are responsible for this trade not support.
An example of what may happen is as follows:
Player1: offers trade of noble house deed for 100 coin
Player2: accepts trade and buys player1's trade of 1 fish for 100 coin via auction house
Player1: logs off
As far as support is concerned a trade was carried out as a normal trade (it appears as if it was pushing), even though Player2 has been "scammed" they are still at fault for not using the trading system as intended, gifted items are exactly that; gifts meant to be shared from the kindness of other players. If you choose to trade goods for these items make sure you can at least trust the player maybe they are in the same guild or you know them in real life.
This should go with out saying that this is the internet and not all people are trustworthy and if there is a way to scam a player someone will do it. Again support is not responsible for the loss of goods from bad trades such as the example stated above, the best thing that you can do is make a post about the player who scammed you warning other players of the shady dealings.
