A wild encounter (Please notice)

[Hxchs]

Hello players,

 

Hello fellow staff members :)

 

I gotta first apologise for posting this here, but I didn't know where to post it so be free to place it wherever it belongs :).

 

So here's my story. I talked to another player about a possible trade between our pokes (my azumarill and his Gibble). Long story short, I was supposed to pay PokeDollars for the poke, but the price was more expensive that what I had on me for the moment so I proposed a trade if hes interested and linked few pokes in our private conversation.

 

Then, the player said that he'd trade his Gibble for Azumarill. Since I wasnt really happy about a clear trade for trade... I replied with this (look the screenshots to understand).

Then, as you can see in the pictures, he started to tell me that he's gonna report me. So I was wondering what could I did wrong and what violation i could've done....

 

So i'm asking you if there's anything that I may risk by what I've done? I don't really understand why I could get reported seriously for such a little thing, since it's pretty oubvious that we were talking business and not a single personnal treath was mentionned.... Well.

 

So, I hope you guys can enlighten me on this point and tell me if I did something wrong/if I can risk a penalty for my behaviours.

 

Sincerly yours,

I don't think there's anything you did that was bannable, but I don't understand why you would link a pokemon that you aren't willing to trade? why would you link your Azumarill if when he said he would take it, you said nice try? That's my only confusion.

Hello there,

 

Based on the screenshots you've given, you did break one of our Trade Rules. The infraction you specifically did here was:</COLOR>

Fake Offering - Making troll/joke offers on an auction that you can't live up to.

<i></i>Players are allowed to report other players that fake offer as it is ultimately a waste of their time; it is also a punishable offense if the player provides enough evidence for his case.

 

You also may be particularly interested in these two rules:

<COLOR color="red">3. Scamming, misleading or deceiving other players is prohibited and will be aggressively sanctioned.

4. When a deal has been agreed upon, by both parties, you can not go back on it.

In the future, please be a bit more careful about what you decide to offer, and consider the possible repercussions. As listed under the Punishment Policy, this infraction would be listed under Severity 2 - Trade Related Infractions for False Offers/Selling.

 

I would highly recommend reading over the Trade Rules, Important Information (regarding trades), and the Punishment Policy. You should have no problem in the future if you read these carefully and abide by the rules.

 

Since your question has been answered, I'll now lock this topic. Have a great rest of your week! :Angel:
