What's a Scam?

A typical scam is when an individual player, or group of players, intentionally deceives another player to gain a benefit from the deception.

As an example: A scam can involve you trading a player in-game currency or items for services, and then the player doesn't fulfill their end of the agreement.

Tips to Avoid Scams

• If a deal or agreement sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• Players try to use large discounts on items or services to gather your interest, only for you to risk losing valuable items or in-game currency.
• Players might encourage you to use other applications to make in-game agreements, or to solicit account information from you.
• Don’t provide personal or account information to other players.
• We always advise you to use your best judgment and consider using game-integrated services within the game that protect you from scams.

Note: You can use features such as the auction house, mailbox, and the player-to-player trading interface to enhance your safety. These features and services exist in-game to help protect you.

What situations could result in scams?

Scamming other players is a violation of our Code of Conduct. However, remember that not all failed agreements are considered scams. Possible scam scenarios:

• Paying a player in-game currency or items to help you defeat a boss in-game, and once paid, they don’t help.
  • No in-game mechanic exists to ensure protection of this agreement.
• Paying a player in-game currency or items to access certain game content that requires an item to participate in that content.
  • No in-game mechanic exists to ensure protection of this agreement.
• Sending an item via the in-game mailbox without Cash-On-Delivery with the promise of payment later on.
  • Cash-On-Delivery is a feature meant to protect you from potential mailbox scams. Use this feature to ensure that your item isn't accepted without the payment you agreed upon.
• Allowing another player to use your account to help you through content.
  • Providing account access to another player is a violation of the Code of Conduct for both parties.
