Player honesty (Gifts test)

So out of boredom i did a test of the honesty of the players in era regarding gifts.

I gifted two people claiming to buy gifts at 100 tro each(for 500$ present) and no not because i wanted the tro.

Both scammed me for 5 presents, one tried to talk me into 10 presents before trading 1k tro claiming its easier lol.

Then i tested gift 4 gift players.

4 out of 5 scammed me lol.

This gifting system is LOL, and the players...shame on you.

What do you expect when everything is based on trades, where it usualy ends up in scams. I mean, these "gifts" aren't even gifts anymore. A lot of people aren't in the spirit, just greedy. There was a post long ago, I believe by Snake, that the drop system was meant as a way to gift players, and of course it became something like this. Hence why we now have trade tables, to prevent a lot of this scamming.

Agreed, i bet less then 1% of the player base has given away a single gift not expecting something in return. Pathetic really.

Lol?

Then why don't you just let us open gifts that someone traded to us.
Simple.

Its doing the opposite though, scammimg is at a all time high.

Scamming is legal. There is no right or wrongs when it comes to scamming.

Thats true, but is it right?

Last year in iClassic I gave away tons of free gifts not expecting something in return, when I slept, I woke up seeing 200 gifts in my house.
iClassic was nice and kind last year, I bet it's different now, also did this in iEra, I woke up getting about 80 gifts. or something.

Don't remember much of it, but iEra also has nice people 25% of the 80 gifts were by a single person.

Put the names who scammed you.

Previous year we could drop presents and many people tried to trade gifts legally by using houses in era, where you can rarely find a player, so people could drop presents in two defferent sides of room and then switch the places. This year they did presents more like presents. This year you can not trade gifts, you can only gift or be gifted. It is a little better, because now they are really presents, and little bit worse, cause people with almost no friends could not be gifted anything. At least now we have 100% chance that you will be scammed if you try not to gift a present
