Anyone heard of open market yet ?
The people may ask whatever they want for whatever they want.
If you get scammed it is completely your fault for not checking the deal.
If it was my decision i would remove the normal shop for chars above certain lvl and everyone should need to buy/sell on a market.
That would only work if some kind of craftsmanship would be implemented
- also craftsmanship should not be grindable, maybe you get a chance to produce the certain item if you play the game, but in no case you could focus only on that. (but maybe the secret message (blah, blah, blah..., now you know better about armor and weapon you are wearing , blah, blah ....) that you get from time to time is all about that).
Maybe some time, when strategus comes back...
