That red message showing every 30mins saying to never enter your account infos on the scam sites and the high probability to lose your account after... because the scammers are back! They send in-game mails which invite the players to "buy coins" on a scamming site.

    Sometimes it does not matter how much warning anyone gets they still allow themselves to get scammed anyway.

    Sad but true, I'm sure they just took it down because regardless of countless warnings from system, faction, friends... people still managed to get keylogged and they sign-in/log-on to certain sites just because they think they found the get rich quick scheme and end up losing it all.​​

    The message likely got lost because China forgot to put it back into the file.​​

    The only interest of scam warning IG is for PWE to say "we warned you" when people submit tickets.
    People that would read those messages are the ones that usually don't need to read it in the first place and there will always be people silly enough to get scammed anyway (and I'm pretty sure those people don't read the warnings anyway).
    I'm personnaly happier when there are not too much spam in system messages

    Personally I prefer system message spam vs mail spam.
    I go to mailbox to check what kind of mail is there waiting for me and all I see is invitation to buy gold on a scam website.

    I am not sure how to raport them but I got the mail from character named killbenny (european server) and the website in question is Gamazon.ru.
    Beware.

    I say if you are dumb enough to fall for the in-game mail scam then serves you right.

    If someone gets scammed they should be banned from the internet for being stupid.

    What PWE needs is actual customer service, actual GMs on the server, and actual care for customers. Since none of that will ever happen you may as well move to a private server. Hell I found one that they modify all kinds of stuff on the game WHILE you are playing no need to download constant updates for small changes to stuff. PWE has washed up....such a **** company. They care about money and nothing else. I hope they drown.

    Except that most of those server are full of the most cancerous type of players. Not to mention the biasedness of players/GM's there, it's beyond anything.​​

    Then move to a private server, sad sack. Why continue to harass us here with your endless QQ? All you do is trash talk the game so why you still here? You make no sense staying if you are so miserable.

    Well all of you cried about it enough and got it. More damn system messages to ignore.

    We also need a warning about double negatives, like "Kitty will not go nowhere outside her home today." They're dangerous, they capture people's phrases and reverse their words.tiger-11.gif​​

    Kitty's gone. She gave up on PWI. And she's a black metal Kitty naow.
