Title: Fucked up heirloom exchange...
Post by: Dezilagel on October 18, 2011, 09:50:23 pm
Scenario:

I had gotten hold of a pair of Lordly Cased Greaves for my clanmate Kocik and was going to trade them to him.

I screwed up the 0's when putting up the offer and within seconds Turmoiltom of the Haven clan had accepted the deal.

I accept your marketplace offer.

I give you 110000 gold in exchange for your Lordly Cased Greaves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I instantly sent him a message...

Dude, please...

Was meant for a friend
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...but no answer.

And now were getting to why I'm making this (stupid) topic in the first place.

"Fine" I thought, you could easily miss those messages so I tried to contact him on the forums...

Am I going to have to make another one of those stupid topics to get this resolved?

...but no answer here either.

Now it was becoming clear to me that this guy was ignoring me.

Look at time of his last post:

I did also contact one of his clanmates on ts, and I posted a message in their faction thread, but nothing has come out of that yet either.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am sorry for the not-too-friendly tone of my messages, I was in a bad mood from some rl events.


But please, give me back my heirloom. I'll give you some gold if that's what you want. Anyways, I just hope you're a decent enough guy.

Sorry for you Dezilagel, but you won't get it back it seems.

How many times did this happen now that someone made a mistake on the market and the little scammers of Haven immediately grabbed it cause all they do the whole day is searching for these mistakes?

Oh man..

Theoritically, the guy might just be running an auto-buy script while not watching the pc.


But yeah this most likely is an actual "scam". I wouldn't really call it scam since you have done a (very common and sadly easy to make) error and he broke no agreement, but still.

Exactly the same happened with Druzhina_Ariec. He made the same mistake when he tried to give loom to clanmate.
And this TurmoilTom accepted the offer in 2 seconds or less.
Man can't make this manual for sure. He uses script. And as I suppose thats forbidden. And as it happened not for the first time this bastard TurmoilTom deserves permaban. I think my clanmates would be glad to hear, that their looms were spent on permabanning of this cheater.

Ok, now that I'm done laughing, I will take the time to respond to this.  You know for sure that he uses a script, and would like to see him perma'd?  Ok, if you have all that evidence there... you must be right.

I don't know if it is possible to use any script or whatever for that, but it is kinda weird, that you guys always always get the items a few seconds after they are up on the market  :/

For admins thats not hard to verify.
I am asking to make an experiment - Just make the same action as OP, put heirloom for stones or for some cheap gear. And the result will be seen very quickly.
Thats not just weird, thats too weird that only TurmoilTom buys looms like this, just in 1-2 seconds after offer was sent. Page can't be refreshed and player just can't notice such an offer from hundreds others in a moment. And admins can check, where these stolen looms are now. And check this TurmoilTom for playing activity. If all these looms now belongs not to him but to haven members, then ok, may be not ban, but wipe all gear and gold of these thieves. That would be fair. And TurmoilTom deserves permaban.

Scripting isn't forbidden. High-frequency transactions aren't forbidden in international RL trade.

Being the first to accept wrong offers isn't scamming or stealing. What agreement did he infriged ? None. The error comes from people that put incorrect offers on the market. If it's not a script that buys it, then it's a human, but there's no difference.

Ofc. not giving the item back is immoral, but the scripting itself isn't.


Now, if the system had more railings, people would make a lot less errors, and there would be a lot less drama. There's no fault in being the first to accept the deal, by whatever mean. In many cases, items sold for the wrong price are given back. Those that "cleverly" (in a very short term sense, payback's a bitch) use the errors of others like that TurmoilTom are revealing the flaws of the current market implementation.

He broke the most ancient of codes. The code not being a total piece of shit. TurmoilTom should be punished for shitting on members of the community.

He has failed to talk to the man that he ripped off.

If a guy walked up to you and said "I see you are a selling a car for 25.000" and then handed you a 20 and 5. You would laugh and tell him some dope dropped a put a full stop instead of a comma.

You wouldn't say, good point here are the keys.

Systems should always have "idiot" protection. It should double check before its posted that you have put all the numbers in correctly and it should ask you to tick off the trade when its done.

If some clown comes and asks to buy it off you, you should be able to say no.

Scripts that replace man (read bot) are forbidden as I know. And I just can't beleive that TurmoilTom accepting the offers manually. Just can't. And for using bots, not enhancing scripts, but bot, this must be punished.

IMO scammers should burn and be banned forever.

We have a Common Sense rule in the rules that overrides all other rules. This rule was previously called the ASSHAT rule.

Scammer is an Asshat, therefore, ban him.

Sad thing is that I don't have the power to check logs like that in the marketplace.. But scammers beware:

I have a strong feeling that sooner or later you will have to pay dearly.

Also, for the record, we've never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER supported what Haven does, we've never been allied with them either. I would just like to state that so there is no further confusion. Haven and Dracul are two separate clans.

I sympathize with those who have made Market exchanges with which they were dissatisfied. It isn't easy seeing something one finds valuable to go for an unintended price. I understand this. But what I don't understand is how accepting an exchange on terms that someone else has offered can be reasonably construed as "cheating" or "scamming." An error on the part of the one making the offer does not imply rule-breaking or fraud on the part of the one accepting the offer.

One thing to keep in mind in discussions such as this is that the Market is an extension of cRPG, like Strategus is. Player actions in both the Market and Strategus entail risk, which even in Strategus is often economic in nature (e.g., running a trade route and protecting those on mercantile missions). As such, players ought to familiarize themselves with the mechanics of the game in order to avoid regrettable errors.

Both Strategus and the Market are extensions of cRPG and players can make mistakes in each. In Strategus, players make mistakes that result in circumstances that they dislike. If you benefit from another player's error in Strategus, e.g., by taking a town with poor defenses, you are not thereby obligated to rectify the error. You don't have to apologize or give back the town. Players who want to avoid losing towns need to learn the rules of the game and double-check their actions before taking them. They should recognize that any action entails risk and that mistakes are possible. In Strategus, a player might carry the wrong equipment for an imminent battle, resulting in a huge loss of troops; or in running a trade route he might activate quick march at an inappropriate time, leaving his army exhuasted in dangerous territory and open to a major loss of Strategus gold in the form of Trade Goods. In the Market, a player might type an unintended value or propose an exchange without knowledge of a recent patch that has changed the relative values of items. But in neither case does his error obligate another player to hit the reset button. Those who play the Market, just as those who play Strategus, need to know the game if they want matters to proceed as they intend.

Part of knowing the game is knowing what precautions are necessary to avoid mistakes. In Strategus, players should know what it means to drop their trade goods and whether it is appropriate to do so, and they should know not to sell weapons to fiefs, which at the moment do not exchange them for money. In the Market, players should know to verify that they are requesting the intended item, that the heirloom level is correct, and that the gold amount is the right number. The Market, for a short time during Javascript processing, places at the top of the list the offer one has just proposed, which allows the player to check his proposed exchange. One can even search for his character's name in order to double-check his offer. But it is best to rely on one's own careful checking and double-checking prior to proposing an exchange. This is important because the Market at the moment is unable to detect one's errors for him. I recommend that players learn the mechanics of the game as a way to prevent errors that they might regret.

Some think that the Market does not have enough built-in checks. They are free to take up the matter with those running the Market. But if anyone is at fault for a lack of additional methods of verification, one can hardly lay blame at the feet of those who simply click Accept. In the Market, as in Strategus, it is up to each individual player to familiarize himself with the rules of the game, to understand the risks involved, and to act accordingly.

You know the quickest way to get your loom back after you make a stupid mistake?

Ask. Nicely.

Don't be a bitch about it; Don't act like a martyr or whine. Just admit you made a mistake! Seriously, don't create a forum post to try and guilt/blame/demonize the person who couldn't pass up a great deal. That's the quickest way to insure that your item is GONE FOREVER.

His action is inappropriate. In accordance with the law benefits he has gained are undeserved and irl he would be forced to give it back (probably). But this is not real life and I think it is hard to blame him for accepting the offer.

This basically. I still think Turmoil should give it back but that's up to him. He's not a cheater or scammer if he keeps it. It does reflect on his personality and character and will affect how he and his clan are viewed by others. And their reputation is going down the drain fast which is a punishment in itself.

Player actions in both the Market and Strategus entail risk, which even in Strategus is often economic in nature (e.g., running a trade route and protecting those on mercantile missions). As such, players ought to familiarize themselves with the mechanics of the game in order to avoid regrettable errors.

Both Strategus and the Market are extensions of cRPG and players can make mistakes in each. In Strategus, players make mistakes that result in circumstances that they dislike. If you benefit from another player's error in Strategus, e.g., by taking a town with poor defenses, you are not thereby obligated to rectify the error. You don't have to apologize or give back the town. Players who want to avoid losing towns need to learn the rules of the game and double-check their actions before taking them. They should recognize that any action entails risk and that mistakes are possible. In Strategus, a player might carry the wrong equipment for an imminent battle, resulting in a huge loss of troops; or in running a trade route he might activate quick march at an inappropriate time, leaving his army exhuasted in dangerous territory and open to a major loss of Strategus gold in the form of Trade Goods. In the Market, a player might type an unintended value or propose an exchange without knowledge of a recent patch that has changed the relative values of items. But in neither case does his error obligate another player to hit the reset button. Those who play the Market, just as those who play Strategus, need to know the game if they want matters to proceed as they intend.

Part of knowing the game is knowing what precautions are necessary to avoid mistakes. In Strategus, players should know what it means to drop their trade goods and whether it is appropriate to do so, and they should know not to sell weapons to fiefs, which at the moment do not exchange them for money. In the Market, players should know to verify that they are requesting the intended item, that the heirloom level is correct, and that the gold amount is the right number. The Market, for a short time during Javascript processing, places at the top of the list the offer one has just proposed, which allows the player to check his proposed exchange. One can even search for his character's name in order to double-check his offer. But it is best to rely on one's own careful checking and double-checking prior to proposing an exchange. This is important because the Market at the moment is unable to detect one's errors for him. I recommend that players learn the mechanics of the game as a way to prevent errors that they might regret.

Some think that the Market does not have enough built-in checks. They are free to take up the matter with those running the Market. But if anyone is at fault for a lack of additional methods of verification, one can hardly lay blame at the feet of those who simply click Accept. In the Market, as in Strategus, it is up to each individual player to familiarize himself with the rules of the game, to understand the risks involved, and to act accordingly.

Don´t talk bullshit. You know how much time you need to make such an item and thats the only reason why somebody wants to keep it.
There is a line between players who are part of the community and those who are not. Those who dont respect the other players will suffer
in some way cause the community does payback.

PS: If it happened another time that turmoil accepted offers within seconds they were made and it can be proofed that he
uses a script this is no more taking an opportunity this is totally against the rule number 1 of crpg: common sense.
If i were chadz i would instantly permaban him cause we dont need such people in the game. I probably have to do some lobbying for that.
Would be nice if the gameadmins would talk to the devs in those cases too. It just isnt right. He needs to get some time thinking about what he is doing.

I sympathize with those who have made Market exchanges with which they were dissatisfied. It isn't easy seeing something one finds valuable to go for an unintended price. I understand this. But what I don't understand is how accepting an exchange on terms that someone else has offered can be reasonably construed as "cheating" or "scamming." An error on the part of the one making the offer does not imply rule-breaking or fraud on the part of the one accepting the offer.

I read your post, now I hope you're willing to listen to reason.

First of all, I am NOT accusing you of "cheating" or "scamming" in any way. According to the rules of the game, you're absolutely in the right, and noone can contest that.

But then, this is not about the game, it's about being decent towards the other players.

While putting up the offer was indeed my mistake, it is up to you as the buyer whether to take advantage of it or not. You do have a choice; just because the game gives you an opportunity to screw me over doesn't mean that you have to. So yes, part of the blame is to be had at the one who clicks "Accept".

You bring up a few situations strategus as examples, but those are completely different things. The purpose of the strategus game is to vie for power, you aim to wipe out the other factions and seize as much power/land for your faction (or yourself) as possible. Attacking weak towns/raiding caravans is an accepted part of the game, striking where the enemy is the weakest is one of the central ideas of any strategy game.

If you want good examples in strategus that correspond to this situation, we have the "cheesing" (lacking better words). Although "okay" in terms of game rules , people have been doing stuff like buying 100's of accounts to farm troops, sending loads of tiny stacks of equipment to towns to cause naked spawning, attacking during completely unreasonable times etc. (ofc. as the problems surface, the admins have taken action).

Now, by your reasoning, the problems that was here were not with the guys being douches, but rather the other guys letting it happen. It was their fault for not buying enough cd-keys, their fault for not being organized enough as town defenders to sort out what equipment is "fake", their fault for going to work and sleeping.

Point is, just as the purpose of strategus is not to have the guy who has bought the most cd-keys win, the purpose of the marketplace is not to allow people to snag cheap deals because of mistakes.

Making a good deal on the other hand is like attacking a weak town, and noone has any problems with that.

Now, to adress something different:

I can understand that you're annoyed with me for making this topic, but then again I never wanted to. I spent 2/3 of my OP explaining just why I did it. Call me a douche for doing it, fine I can't say you're wrong but really, just answering my pm's would have been so much easier.

Tbh, I'm sorry for metioning your name in here, that was unnecessary (yes, I was irritated at the time of writing, for obvious reason). Although making a topic about the issue at hand I still think is reasonable, for reasons I've already stated.

Well. Fucking. Written. DONT give him his crappy item back, DONT apologise. He fucked up. Now he is mad cause he didn't even bother to check everything twice. If he valued some shitty line of code on a game so much he should have taken the time and care to not have it taken from him. Same thing in real life: Dont want your wallet taken? Dont leave it lying around. It's not a crime to pick up money you find in the street. It's not even immoral to not hand it in to the police: Do you honestly believe they would try to return it?? No. They would not. The world is a nasty place, the internet the MORE so because all those shitty little rat bastards too AFRAID to act on innitiative IRL for fear of repercussions (ie: getting smacked in the fucking head for mouthing off) feel it is ok to expound their bigoted views and act on any opportunity to take advantage of others: We all know this, it is not news to anyone: In a society where it is self evident ppl will kick you when you down simply because they can get away with it, YOU MUST WATCH YOUR BACK: this logically dictates that you protect yourself and your interests: when doing something as stupid as trading game items that you place "value" on, cover your ass and check it all twice, before you press submit. Common sense.

I see it like this: Heirlooms that I have, I will never trade away. They are mine, special to me, I EARNED them through dedication to this once brilliant mod (addmitedly the mod is going drastically downhill, all the more so since chadz listens too much to his lackeys).

I Especially will not trade to players who don't retire: They just want an OP character without having to sit thru lvls 1-20 of getting owned each gen. Likewise I will not buy items on the marketplace. I currently am gen (NoYB) on my main and only have about 15k: The rest?? I gave it away. It's monopoly money. It's no more real than real money, easier to get, and can't even buy me a loaf of bread of a bottle of milk. Dinners bought with crpg gold: NONE.

The fact that players value a few extra hitpoints or attack points shows how bad they are: If you cannot beat me with standard gear, you will not able to beat me with Heirlooms. I liked it when each person valued their heirlooms for their personal value, not for how much other ppl value them on the marketplace.

That Dezi even made this post cheapens the mod for me. And by contact it cheapens us all. You fucked up. You got fucked over because YOU fucked up. Tom didn't trick you or fool you. You have only yourself to blame. You don't deserve your item back. You don't even deserve my respect.

BTW I should state I have no affiliation to either of the parties in this dispute, but since it has been brought to public forum I feel the right to air my views. /endrant.

From what i've read it seems dezi made a simple error. Tried to rectify it, only to find it had already been sold. This to me makes it seem like tom was either incredibly lucky, or was waiting for such a thing. You must know when buying a masterwork for 100k, that a mistakes been made. Also the fact that he has decided to keep it, despite it being made obvious that this was a mistake (we all make them, lieing if you said you didn't). So in my eyes tom did the latter.

Morally I believe hes doing the wrong thing, and personally I think he is being incredibly selfish. I think he knows this too, and this is why he has tried to justify his actions by pinning the blame on dezi saying he merely bought an item off the market place. I would like to point out this is a game, not survival of the fittest; things that apply to real life, need not apply here. Dezi put in the effort for the MW not tom, and was obtained unjustly by tom, and therefore should be returned to dezi.

I totally agree that it's a filthy move: but he should be allowed to settle that on his conscience without us telling him, all we can do other than to say "Well done" to him for exploiting another's mistake is to rant here, and since that will only compell him to get resentfull and convince himself he is more than justified in keeping it, it serves no purpose.

Again I will say, well done Tom, you got yourself a bargain! We ALL do make mistakes, but since they are a personal fail and noone else's fault, we should take the full repercussions ourselves. I still dont believe Dezi should be able to get the item back in any other way than Tom deciding he will return it, and the main reason I typed with so much venom before was a reaction to everyone else's reaction: Tom doesn't deserve a ban, and should not be MADE to return it, althought both these things are easily done by a dev I imagine: Everyone spouting shit at him makes me wanna defend him: He saw a deal and took it. How many of you can HONESTLY say that if you were walking down your street and saw a (insert local fiduciary currency to the value of $100) note flapping about you would ignore it, or carefully pick it up and march to your local police office and "hand it in"??

This basically. I still think Turmoil should give it back but that's up to him. He's not a cheater or scammer if he keeps it. It does reflect on his personality and character and will affect how he and his clan are viewed by others. And their reputation is going down the drain fast which is a punishment in itself.

All and only this.

I personally think TurmoilTom is doing the wrong thing as the benefits of giving the item back are greater than those of keeping it. Whether he feels like a douchebag or not is his own business, and I will not argue about that. Unlike most people here, I do not strive to impose my morals to this others. However, I am aware of them, usually agree with them and act accordingly.

By being the first accepting the deal, one doesn't break any moral or mod rule, as being the first to accept also can mean you are the one making sure the owner of the object gets it back. There will always be someone ready to accept and keep the item for himself, so if you want the world to be a better place (giving it back), you must try to be the first as well.


To all of you claiming he must be banned for infringing the "being an asshat" rule...

What about all the asshats on the roof ? What about all the lvl 25 permarespec asshats ? What about all the asshats exploiting every cRPG and Strategus bug as much as possible ? There is no asshat rule, and I never heard about someone punished because of it. If there was one, all the mentioned behavior would have been punished.

Wow, you must be a sad person living a sad life.

You bring up a few situations strategus as examples, but those are completely different things. The purpose of the strategus game is to vie for power, you aim to wipe out the other factions and seize as much power/land for your faction (or yourself) as possible. Attacking weak towns/raiding caravans is an accepted part of the game, striking where the enemy is the weakest is one of the central ideas of any strategy game.


The problem lies here. For some people, the marketplace is a game, and it's purpose is exactly that : "The purpose of the (marketplace) game is to vie for power, you aim to (...) seize as much power (...) as possible". And the same principles apply : "Attacking weak (buyers/sellers) is an accepted part of the game, striking where the enemy is the weakest is one of the central ideas of any strategy game".

The thing is, just like in Strategus, all the people are playing in the same kindergarden. Read : sharks together with responsible family men. The responsible family man isn't interested that much in the economy or the secrets of the marketplace, isn't trained to use it and will make mistakes. Most of the shark money comes from these errors, and sometimes from other sharks.

The market itself can't really ensure there are no errors. Sure the one we have isn't good, but nevertheless, the main reason there are that many "scams" or unwanted deals is because people are getting careless sometimes, or simply don't realise the consequences.

Well, Kafein, just to clarify, my point was that exploiting people's mistakes is to be equalled to cheesing in strategus, not dismissing the fact that the marketplace is often veiwed as a struggle for power.

And nothing wrong with that really, playing a market game can be loads of fun.

But exploiting mastakes isn't really "part" of the game now is it? That was my point.

At least for me (and probably for many people), exploiting evident price input errors isn't part of the game. But as I said, I will not debate about it being morally right or not. Personally, I would give the item back, because I would be happy doing it. I only think that it should be not officially punished as if it was, it would only show a lack of coherence in the game rules.
