    I am currently managing several accounts for my friends (most are online friends), I don't even touch them.  When people entrust something to me, I either give people their respect, or decline to take the responsibility all together.
    The reason why I mention these things are the fact that I see more and more gamers these days believe that betraying people in a MMORPG is somehow acceptable.  At the same time more and more people believe that being betrayed is a given when you trust someone.   This is a very sad trend, and it is a good refleciton on both real and virtual society on just how rotten people's hearts have become.
    We gained freedom, but lost our pinrciples.  Whoop dee doo.

     

    There are only 2 persons I trusted my account.. My previous Boss and one of my officemate which are also an MMO player.. We borrow items from one another to boost our leveling we also grind and party at the same time..

    I've never had to learn such a lesson. I've always known it.

    His avoidance of talking about himself is of the biggest warning signs ever. These types of people in-game are way too suspicious and should never be fully trusted. There are so few consequences for stealing in a game so many people are gonna get away with what they can....the more they try to be trusting to you the less you should trust them, really, they're after something.

    I learnt a long time ago the most people will f'ck somebody else over so they come out on top... trsut nobody, depend on nobody else but yourself... then you won't be comming to the forums with your mistakes to be laughed at by the whole comunuity.

    Close your heart and open your eyes and your mind... you won't regret it.

    Close your heart. LOL This is like the problem with most MMO gamers.  They close everything from their hearts, eyes, minds, and even rationality because "it is just a game".

    A true gamer should be responsible for their actions even while inside a MMORPG.  This is not to say that they can't do something, it is just to point out there should be a moderation to anything.  The most important thing to keep yourself flexible and not shut out everything completely.

    Well Guys I guess Im just some dumb idiot that didnt know when to stop helping others and I truely thought that's what I was doing. And In answer to the question about did I give this person my email address? No I did not. I made this person a email account but Im also hearing that hackers can put a bogus sign in page that looks real and when you sign in they get your password. If this is the case then how do you prevent this from happening? And when I had my account taken from me the other times I did give my pw and id name not knowing back then that this would happen. Im not giving up the game I just wish that the people who put the games on would somehow find a safer way for us Hardcore gamers that are honest and want to play the game the way it was meant to play.

     

    Nah, it is actually well-educated, priviledged or relatively bright people that are easier to scam. Why? Because they trust the decisions they make themselves. It is a part of Scamming 101.

    It is fairly easy to get scammed in both real life and in the Internet. Two things to always remember are:

    1. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

    2. Never trust a stranger you just recently met and has become overly friendly with you.
