Guild Wars scam. I dont know what to do. Please help me?

Question

I ran someone to the Gates of Desolation. He owes me 600gold. He just left and ignored me. Should I report him in?

Answer 1

LOL, ok now your other question makes more sense. There's not much you can do. You can harass him when you see him online and try to make his life miserable, but it could backfire on you and get you reported for harassment.

Running is tricky and you'll run into a lot of scammers on both sides. Runner asks for the money upfront then he leaves. Runner asks for the money upon arrival and the runnee leaves when you get there. Unfortunately, there isn't much A-net can do. If you have screenshots of him admitting he scammed you, you can report and maybe they'll ban him.

Here are a few tricks to help cut down on the scamming.
- Ask to see the money before you leave town. This prevents them from saying they're broke when you arrive.
- Ask for payment halfway there.
- If it's an expensive run, some runners will ask for the runnee's armor as collateral. It's worthless to the runner, but the runnee will want it back.
