I think admin should repay those that loose out to scammers. Victims of all sorts of crimes get compensated I dont see why players shouldnt get what they lost back once its proven.
I now understand the pain of so many as I was just scammed less the 30mins ago.
This not only really ruins your plans but also a pretty good day. It would be nice to know that the powers that be would be there to help you out.
Please vote and explain why

i kno why your saying this but my points are, whats to stop people claiming they were scammed just to get free stuff? unless you had some rigourous process and alot of proof to show you were scammed it wont really work and that can easily be faked. my second point is, where are the resources going to come from? you cant expect admin to do something like this or even another player. (granted there are people who would be willing to help but you cant expect them to give to the whole community).

surely the trade logs of an account and its ip can be checked. if scammer takes my naq and sends it to another account it should be able to be seen.
as for where it would come from well delete the scammer and the just add whatever i lost back into my account, i dont see the problem with admin adding naq and uus back to ppl.

seems like any easy way of not having to worry about what happens in game
they want to stop cheating in the game, i really doubt that.

It sucks that you get scammed, especially if it costs you RL money (though in actuality RL money isn't much, compared to probably the hundreds of hours you spent playing, instead of working for example
).
I would start a system not based on these stupid 50 posts (which i am trying to get lol..), but instead based on other people vouching for you. It would mean you would actually have to play the game, and get to know some people, before you can start trading much. I know there is alot of big players i can get to vouch for me, not to mention people i have already traded with.
How many of the scammers could say the same? I bet not even one!!
Although there is always the chance someone will go rotten, EG Bryan might decide to turn evil and sell his account, get the money, but then not give over the details, but the chances of this happening is not nerely as high as 'smaller' trades..
