Currently people are being scammed in DW by a catshop with the title Earn Money! near General Summer (cant give name because name and shame b:sad) but you should make it so that catshops cannot have anything in their buy list if they have a full inventory as this person is selling limestone for 40k and buying for 50k but you cannot sell to her as she has a full inventory. And as a current patch could go over there and ban her account for life, sure alot of people would be very happy. b:chuckleb:thanks

    Take a screenshot of the person/what they're selling and send them in a ticket:

    A good moderator should:
    - Have the computer skills necessary to handle forum-related tasks (Web skills, basic programming)
    - Be patient to handle all sorts of requests
    - Be level-headed to keep discussions and some petty squabbles in check.b:cool

    Just make it impossible to put the same item in both the buying and selling sections. Why the devs didn't do this in the first place, I'll never know...

    You make two stacks, easy. Otherwise, you can't buy and sell the same item.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    Why do you hate them? Its not their fault that people aren't paying attention.

    when you sell to a token catshop you usually are and are in desperate need of money since almost all catshops try to get massive discounts on items they're selling.

    The ones I hate most though are mat catshops since those you see people selling concentrated glue for 7k and buying for 700 coins. not a scam but just as bad in my opinion.

    They also have it too easy since most just multi box their catshop or multi client alledly, and that allows them to buy/sell at ridicoulous prices since they can stay there and still play PWI on their main.

    Catshops that buy and sell the same item provide a convenient service and deserve whatever markup they can get. What would you do without catshops selling tokens?

    I may be dumb, but I don't see how this is a scam. A waste of time for people, sure, but how is it a scam?
