The in-game scam:
A scam in-game is acquiring items or any other property (though all data on the World of Warcraft service is the property of Blizzard Entertainment, we use the term “property” to describe characters, items, and in-game currency) from another player through misinformation, confusion or fraud (Scamming). In short, using any sort of deception to gain at another’s expense.
Example:
Trying to get an item from another player by claiming he will get it back with an enchantment
We do not want to encourage players to use this kind of roleplay in-game scam but we consider them as part of the game mechanics. So we will not take actions in those cases and we invite the players to be very cautious with their items. In short, don’t give items to players that you don’t know! However, if this kind of behavior is found to be systematic from a particular individual, we will investigate further to determine what course of action should be taken.
