What is a number/credit scam?
A number/credit scam is when a player tells another player that he is going to spend 10.000cr to purchase whatever item that, that person happens to be selling. It's a dishonest way for a player to purchase items and can trick sellers to sell their items for a price much lower than they intended too.
Twice tonight I saw players do this although neither of them got the item that they paid such a low amount to get. They both wanted/expected to item the still be delivered even after the trick was up.
Issues with commas and periods
In the US a period along a line of numbers signifies that, that number goes into the decimals
In Europe a comma along a line of numbers means just that.
Therefore there is much confusion when people make bids or offers like this.
What I'm proposing....
People who make false offers like this or expect whatever item they want after making an offer like this to be temporarily banned from the server (lets say 24 hours) because this would be such a minor offense.
Thanks Ben
