The world of online role-playing games is just as subject to dirty pool as anything else. The number of MMORPG scams seems to be rising, and including methods that were unknown just a few years ago. Although MMORPGs are usually relatively free from the kinds of “cheat codes” that are found so often in other video games, most of the problems that players experience have more to do with people capitalizing on good old-fashioned human nature.
The typical MMORPG scams play out more like a grifter’s game, jumping on the inexperience of a new player or the greed of a veteran player. Often these scams revolve around a quick and easy acquisition of something that another player wants. Even his reasons for wanting those things has undergone a tremendous change.
Let’s say you are new to the game and aren’t completely familiar with all its little idiosyncrasies and key entry rules. A perfect example of this type of scam can be found in Lineage 2. You meet someone and decide to trade for an item you’ve been wanting. You complete the trade process and hit OK. Instead of the trade going through, however, it gets canceled. Being new, you assume that somehow you hit the wrong button or something. The trade window pops up and you do it all over again and this time is works.
