Hey everyone. I am pretty sure the issue mentioned below has been addressed multiple times, but anyways..
Recently, based on my observations, the amount of scammers in the 80g trading thread has greatly increased. I may be wrong, but it seems that blacklist has not been updated for a very long time and imo is not a very effective tool to prevent people from being scammed.
The entire criminal :D scheme looks like that: Scammers use multiple hearthpwn accounts to create posts in the thread. They always keep the quest for the proof challenge, but never go first. (according to recommended rules, people who post in the thread go first). After quest completion, scammer will delete you from the friend list and delete his post in the thread to make it harder for you to report him. After a few hours scammer will post again, but from another heartpwn account. Therefore i wonder if it is possible to somehow filter out scammer battletags from the thread?
Maybe if users could not delete their posts from this specific thread, it would prevent ppl from abusing the system, because i consider it as the biggest problem.
Nevertheless, feel free to share your opinions and thoughts about the topic, Thanks.

i never was scammed on hearthpwn (maybe im lucky) ..... but im agree with you
Scammed 3 years ago, left right after the game and didn't had the quest himself..
Obviously nothing could've been done to that person.
Since then i lost trust in people and started playing Thief rogue and stealing everyone's stuff.
Got scammed last week at exact scheme you've described. Totally agree with you
LOL
the sad truth behind every thief rogue main
Just be cautious with new accounts. Easy as that ;-)
Edit: and remember the BattleTag, so it can be added to the blacklist.
