Always read the UO generated descriptions really well. See great deals on desirable items but when you look closely little durability left, shard shields for 26 million but when you read closely they are account bond, and now recall runes to Shogun item vendors selling for 1 million gold plus. Sorry you where taken. If the deal looks too good to be true, always read the items real description really closely. Don’t think UO has the intelligence to understand to understand what the vendor’s description says. Would be good though if there was a way to report them, but not sure if they are violating any of UO’s rules.
You need to be more specific and show a picture of what you are saying.
One issue with removing item descriptions is some items do not show up on VS without them.
Sadly people have been using vendors to scam people as long as there have been vendors in game. Mostly all you can do is be careful when buying. With the best will in the world, the devs can't totally protect you from dishonest players like this.
Scamming in UO is totally LEGAL as long as you do NOT use an exploit to do it, always has been. If you by a Mastery that someone put a label on it then I am sorry you have no clue to what Masteries are and as for buying stuff that has been salted then you are not paying attention to what you are doing and that is your fault not UOs. If I sell you a sword bought off an NPC and tell you it is the GREATEST and most LEET sword in all the land and sell it to you for 100M then whos fault is it, surely not mine. PAY ATTENTION to what you are doing.
IMO this is a use of game mechanics to do something unintended, scam in this case. (The picture)
No scamming is not legal. They changed the trade window twice because of players scamming using it.
That should be something that would get a flag on that account.
Adding a zero or 2 could be a misclick, that one should not be flagged.
I find the seller’s description quite useful sometimes for selling what’s on my vendor. And, I think many players use it to label bags that contain like kind items for sale. I’ve never seen anything quite like the example you posted, but have seen close to it. Don’t think it is an illegal add though. If it said swordsmanship mastery iii, it might very well be, but all it says is swordsmanship which does make much sense to me regarding what is for sale, but don’t think that in itself is against the rules. Know it says what it does so it comes when you search using the term swordsmanship, but think that just reflects the U O culture of old.
They made it so you can not change the gold amounts during a trade, by making the player with the Gold amount click first. That was a scam fix.
Not only that but sometimes they kill me and take my things!! UO has always been and should remain BUYER BEWARE... this sort of whining killed thieves...
