Guild Wars 2

In the last couple of days we have noticed a sharp increase in reports from players who were cheated while trading or buying items outside of the Black Lion Trading Post. One offer that is currently popular with scammers is offering Bolts of Damask at around 10g.

The relatively low cost of this item might make it seem easier to trust that the deal is legitimate. However, we’ve seen just the opposite. Scammers are offering these items and then not delivering them. Please keep in mind that if you lose gold in this manner it will not be returned. Please also remember that any account that we verify to have been involved in the defrauding of players will be investigated and suspended or terminated.

We strongly encourage our players to use the Trading Post because it was designed to ensure that every transaction is legitimate. Please pass these comments along to your fellow players, particularly if you see these “deals” being offered in chat.

Thank you.

Bumping to keep in players’ minds.

Thanks for being diligent about this!
