very true

i wish that that would happen. it sounds pretty cool

Love the pumkin av and plz dont get mad just bc i dident wright about the topic

lISTEN TO HER

I do agree. It's horrible that people would want to do taht to innocent players. But there are some horrible people out there

I dont really understand whats wrong with doing trades outside of the howrse sistem. can anyone explain?

because its wrong. there is no other explanation for it. to trade howrse items use the howrse facilities to do so. there are dishonest people out there, and scamming , although very wrong, is quite common. if something sounds too good to be true, it IS. use horse sales and item exchanges only.

Oh that would be amazing if we could get a horse trade system going through horse.
I would love to be able to trade horses for horses instead of equus or passes as I don't have a lot of either.

Or horses for BMIs... I have so many that I never use but don't want to give them away in the trades because I am a bit tight and think the exchanges don't get enough

That's such a good idea. I wish that would exist.

scammers

"Allowed" implies that Howrse condones or looks the other way while scammers do whatever they want. They don't. Scamming *isn't* allowed on Howrse, but rule breakers exist everywhere and all the mods and admin can do is sanction them when they break rules. Players, however, can be proactive about preventing scams by not trading outside official routes - it is impossible to be scammed if you stick to using the sales and exchanges as they were meant to be used.

if i get cought doing a trade outside of the howrse system will my account get banned/suspended or will i just get a warning?

Ask the people who actually deal with these situations and hand out those punishments; the moderators.

GOD that would be soooooooooo cool if that happened!!

yeah

BUT! you can with reserved sales!

Reserved sales doesn't allow for trading horses, just selling them for equus or passes, which is where the scams come in.
My suggestion would allow for horses to be 'swapped', so instead of reserving a horse for 500 equus and have hope that the receiver will take the horse then give you the promised BMI or horse (again, this is going around howrse's system and is the reason why scams like these are happening), you could arrange to sell your horse and then select one of theirs to trade, like in the black market.

I hate when some of us innocent people who want to just have fun and play the game get scammed by others.

I was thinking that we should have a trading system where it doesn't let you press trade until you both have put something in a box and if you want the opposite to pay for what they are getting from you they can type the amount of money they want you to pay for the item so then it can be scam free, but if a hacker was somehow able to glitch it then it would send an email to the owners of the site and they can find the account and maybe be locked out for a couple of days.

But if anyone could take the ideas into consideration we could have a much safer trading system here on howrse and hopefully we can all enjoy our time trading on here scam free.

When I hear about others getting scammed online it makes me sad to think someone would want to steal hard earned achievements, equipment and lots more from a totally innocent person who probably though they could trust you.

Some trolls aren't funny either unless it's planned and your allowed by the other person.
I also think that if when we did trade by everyone before they trade they have a bar which shows a history of trading and if they scammed anyone or not.

Hopefully we can be happier sooner. Hope everyone here on howrse has a nice day today.

Be careful for scammers

0-0 I feel so bad, I didn't know trades weren't allowed on howrse and I've done about 5 trades (horses for horses) without knowing. Usually what I do is message the person and we agree on a set amount [usually 1000e] that way if the other person fails to put up the horse for sale [i get nervous that that'll happen] we have at least 1000e to make up for the loss.

Why dont horses and Ageing points and the such just get added to the exchange system then?Why are we making a problem out of something that could easily be solved?I feel like people should be responsible for their own decisions,which means if they trade in a way which interferes with the system,thats their own personal decision and can only blame themselves if they get scammed.Again though,I dont see any problem with trading your items/horses with someone you know and trust.

Each person IS responsible for their own actions. If the trade goes wrong then they lose. The admin or mods can't undo the trade. Great if you know and trust someone but too many times friendships end and many because of misunderstandings or one friend not happy with the actions of another friend.

Not only is it against the rules if trafficking is involved (if passes or BM items involved ) but many times one person disagreement with another spills out in the forums and in PMs and that is where Howrse staff will get involved, sometimes with sanctions.
