Even with all the reddit posts I got scammed by A-sync trade for 10 divine orbs.

End of league for me. Good luck guys. <3

The fact there is no confirmation on purchases for 1 div+ shows this was not tested enough. Just another place to get scammed in a game full of it. Yawn.

I already know I am a moron for this so don't worry. I was even carefully looking and my hand just clicked it anyway before my brain could respond.

no what it shows is that people aren't paying attention and are why warning labels were created

i think a good way ggg can help is by making an optional confirmation window.

which sould be enabled/disabled from options menu.

those who are responsible enough to check before buying can opt out

while those who dont trust themselves can have it as another layer of safety.

and if i m being honest, its a good thing to have.

the distinction on why this should be implemented is how different it is from buying from npcs.

npcs in poe almost never sell anything more than 22c. so if you misclick you lose some currency but the amount is small.

players can mistakenly lose large amounts of currency if they buy things up too quickly.

and as much as i would say its "on the buyer", i dislike the fact that not enough is being done against the sellers. its quite obvious what the seller is doing. but ggg isnt taking a stance as theyre lazy to settle scam disputes.

so the next best thing is to put safeguards where necessary.

anyway. please check what ever you buy before buying. dont take convenience for granted. a-trade is still one of the best things to happen to poe1 for a long while

And the fact that streamers are promoting it, laughing about it, and memeing it is disgusting. The streamers making a joke out of scamming people and explaining how to do it should be banned for the league.

Just normal people behavior. If we are able to scam others without consequences we'll do it with a smile.

i'm talking about warning labels irl, this would never happen if people pay attention before buying something in game. literally impossible to happen if you procress what it is you're clicking

nah... this is a societal issue.

you cant name and shame on this forum but do it on reddit.

its very likely i dont know these streamers anyway. any respectable streamer should not be doing this to begin with. and those that do... i would not be watching their streams. [Removed by Support]

No. Scamming your brothers and sisters is not normal people behavior.[Removed by Support]
