There are so many players... Most don't remember who scammed them or don't care, at least the first few times. In my experience, those who repeatedly advertise in Shout Box and FS Box a lot scam the most. It's a gray area I guess...


mistle considering i post a lot on the shoutbox without ever scamming anyone and considering i used to purchase many buffs from you whilst growing my character i have to ask you this question? why are you talking such nonsense?

maybe you could increase support for banning buff sellers by bribing supporters of your idea with free buffs :D

Like golf...It's your honor at stake...Yeah, some have none but....

I just don't get this thread really....I've not heard a valid solution and don't think there is a practical one...

Leave well enough alone and let the Fallen community police thier own...

Valid solution would be a buff shop. It could be done but then again it would require work to be done by HCS, the downfall to this is the loss of player interaction and the high levels with decent prices would dominate the market.

Really, not dissing you mistle but what were you thinking when you posted this? It was a horrible idea from the start, Scammers are easily ridden from the game anyways through support tickets so really there is not much of a worry from this IMHO

ok seriously what is up with everyone today??? in almost every forum ive read people are doing either taking a little joke WAY to serious or starting a flame war off of the stupidest comment.

Now back on topic, honestly i think this would be very unfair and encourage people to join guilds with people a lot higher level than them so they can get the best buffs possible and then the person they get all the buffs from doesnt get any profit and has no stam to hunt, then they get grumpy dont give buffs to anyone so they can level up, then the people he/she buffed cant level up because they dont have the right buffs available.

My alternative to the situation is get to know your buffer, each and everyone of the buffers i use i know and use on a regular basis because they are reliable and trustworthy i dont have to worry about them stealing any of my money, in fact every now and then they give me a extra buff or 2 so my hunting is easier and i rarely use my guild for buffs mostly so i dont use up their stamina, i go out and buy my buffs from friends first then if im missing a buff or 2 i ask my guild for it. So if we were to outlaw buff selling I would be completely screwed over by this and have a harder time to level. So i am against this.

Thats my $1.36

This idea is HORRIBLE. I rarely speak so strongly on ideas, but this is just bad.

1) It would destroy the "massive, multiplayer" part of MMORPG

2) Solo players would have NO chance at a nearly as good game experience and as a result I believe less people would play the game.

3) I have NEVER been scammed as a buyer (and I buy all my buffs when I go hunting), and I've only been scammed 3 times as a seller in over 3 months over level 200.

If YOU don't want to buy buffs, that is your right, but don't take it away from the other 50,000+ active players because you don't like it. As far as real buff-selling-scammers go, they could be reported to HCS. While HCS wouldn't act on one persons support ticket, if they scam enough people, HCS would take notice and could surely look at the game logs to see what was going on, if it was THAT severe.

The buff system in FS has worked since inception; if its NOT broken, DON'T fix it.

I'm disappointed to hear such a well-respected and high level player in FS make an idea that would crush, slow down, and prevent the quality gameplay by the masses below them.

Just my $1.35, flame away.

I'm sure I'll get many people to vote yes, as it'd be a good thing for the game.

The "bad idea" votes are just a slight anomaly. Support will come!

I've been bying buffs since I was lvl 50 and I can honestly say I've never been scammed. And I almost always buy from ppl in the Shoutbox.

However, I've been scammed plenty of times when selling buffs. I guess I should start to ask for payment up front. :)

This is a bad idea since this is the way many ppl make some money in FS.

This idea just seem like you got butthurt because you managed to find a single person who scammed you and now you want to shove this idea down every persons throat in FS... well good luck with that.

ok Mistle is this a joke ??


anyways i have bought buffs for a very long time and never been scammed... i have bought them from those who sell on the SB and also

randomly going through profiles in the Online Players list -> This proves your 70-80% calculation is exaggerated !!

This doesn't actually prove anything.

However, I do believe mistle failed to provide a valid reasoning for how he came up with the number.

I find it interesting how the players voting yes are all high-end players, who really don't need buffs from others anymore.

What are all other features in this game
But tools of scam to those who use their brain
For finding ways your savings to retain?
Suggesting to outlaw the buffs is lame!

To think that someone with such decent fame
Would be as egocentric as insane..
Even if certain scammers cause you pain
The buffing biz' is not the one to blame!

This is constructive......wanting to turn other peoples buffs off......

I hope HCS havent read this entire thread legitametly hoping in vain that there was a valid argument somewhere.

I would rather people only had actual 'suggestions' that make the game better, not get a cheap laugh at the people posting in opposition, and waste HCS time in reading this rubbish, when they have better things to be doing, but cant as they have to trawl through all these suggestions threads helping us to have a better game.
