Know who you are doing business with. Guilds/individuals known to cheat and exploit are probably to be avoided. Ask around, people talk. Reputation is worth more than gold in this game. Random unguilded nobodies with heaps of gold are very suspect. People willing to pay exorbitant fees for no real reason have probably duped. In the end, if you touch enough money, you will touch duped money sooner or later. If its removed, its the cost of doing business.
Yeah, we're not doing KYC and AML for a game.
The Northern Bank offers services that are beyond simple buying and selling e. g. transfering money from one town to another for a fee.
This, thanks. The Northern Bank is not a trading guild, it is a financial services guild (money transfers, loans, escrow, etc) so obviously a bad actor could try to clean their illicit cash trough us. This is entirely possible because well (brace yourselves, this will be shocking) , we tend to not assume our customers are crooks.
All that said Robmo says they can go trough logs and determine who really is at fault without impacting the services we provide so I'll take him at his word. If it changes well then guess our part in the sandbox dies.
But in no uncertain terms, if someone finds out a true dupe and repeats it, especially multiple times... to the tune of mats that have value or gold, they should be absolutely GONE. That's just not a normal mindset. I know I talked w/ Smasher that people change, yea maybe they do, let them change in a diff game.
