Change the unbind system to avoid/prevent scams
Sat, 09/10/2011 - 22:11
I would like to point out that it is extremely hard for me to sell any of my 5 star gear due to the broken unbind system. In its current state, buyers are wary of buying bound gear because they are scarred that people will run with their crowns or CE. This is a valid concern and many people have already been scammed. This is the sixth time a buyer has walked away AFTER having agreed to the price for the item SOLELY because I did not have the 4k CE to unbind the item myself.
Please fix this system. Not only does this reduce the amount of work your gamemasters have to do, going through all the scam complaints, it helps the honest sellers in selling their gear.
I also have been telling people that I will give them a mail receipt indicating to game masters that check that such a transaction has occurred. If I did scam the buyer, the mail receipt would indicate the nature of the trade and the time it took place, enough proof to ban me if I did scam them. However, people in general still do not believe that game masters do take these scams seriously and ban offenders. I have several people I know that have been scammed, have reported it to the game masters and have had nothing done to help them.
There are two choices: fix the unbind system or take these scams seriously in order to not make it acceptable for the community to do this.

How about #3: cherish your hard-earned 5 star items and keep them?
The unbind system is actually a good deal. It makes it unprofitable to crank out elite items and hand em out for cheap. If you want to sell an icon of your adventures, hours spent grinding and killing, and toil to find the recipes and materials, go ahead. It won't be cheap though.

No way in heck I would hand a stranger that much CE to go unbind something.
If you want to sell 5* items. Suck it up & unbind it yourself, then try to sell it for way more then anybody is willing to pay... Seriously, there is no reason to ever sell bound items unless they have truly epic UV. If you need the money badly enough and don't like the item, go sell it back to a vendor (no unbinding needed).
(also, this belongs in "Suggestions")

Hey, cool.
I didn't know I could clean out my inventory without the unbind fee by selling to a vendor. Goodbye, horrible Autogun and other silly weapons.

Even though I mostly sell
Even though I mostly sell items, I believe it's the seller's task most of the time.
Even if they don't buy your item, you will still have an unbound item to can trade for 5k+. If the seller scams you, you're just screwed out of 4k.
Just keep 4k at hand when you want to sell stuff. When I'm not trading 5* items, I don't care what my energy is at.
So you tried to sell to this guy eh?
