In last few days we could see a lot of accusation that certain players are scammers, thieves etc.

In order to prevent that, Ill give you some free tips.

1. If you wanna sell or buy something, use NATIONAL MARKETS. After you put your item on market, you can make shout on black market chat that you are selling item 1,2,3...on market of your choosing.
If you sell items in your nations market, you country will generate income from taxes. Those who sell have to pay that taxes, so you can slightly increase price for item to cover expenses.
Downsides can be slower currency exchange, but once your market increase reputation, CC exchange will become faster. Common mistake ppl make is that they are selling item on black market for realistic price, and then they are trying to sell same item with higher and usually inflated price on national markets. That is stupid and its unrealistic to hope to sell something.

2. If you decide to use black market, the smartest way for buyer is to use contract mechanism. Downsides are that guys who sell have to wait for 10 minutes until they can send another. Ill assume that you have made negotiations using DMs before you decide to buy. As we all know, those DM notifications doesnt work smoothly, so you have to wait for it, and those who sent you msg, might think that you are negotiating with someone else and they can decide to do the same. That mean that time for transactions will become unbearable.

3. DONT and I mean DONT send items or gold as donations unless you made that arrangement over DMs. Now you can see a lot of msg where ppl say something like...send gold and Ill send items. Ill assume that they are honest merchants. If we are in rush for UC, and all those who need packs start sending gold to seller, he might be overwhelmed. If he receive 20 donations and he start sending packs, their is fair chance that he will miss someone. Or he can decide to finnish with his UC first. It might happen that he received 20 donations and he has 15 packs. When he send packs, then he will start sending gold, but it might be too late for buyer. There is just to much space for errors. You can also send gold and other side had to log out for some reason.

4. If you wanna buy packs, dont make deals using some other apps. Admin can protect you from scams only if you use DM mechanism. No one can guarantee that some Discord user is who he said he is. Also, it is always smarter to buy and sell pack to people you know. If you see new player, low level, young account, dont be so keen to send gold to him. Even if they are honest, ppl can make mistakes.

This went a bit too long, but it should cover basics.
