trade scammed

hello, just have been scammed by a guy putting the money and when comes the time to click he withdrawed the money just before the trade, i lost 6 arcanite crystals he had agreed to pay for 14g each... wich make 84g well i guess i will never see them back nor the guy since he was a level 19

but the most confusing thing is : i remember that it used to be on vanilla retail some kind of 1-2 sec of frozen transaction after any modification in the trade window to avoid that, while here it was just like fucking instant
and the trade could be accepted with no delay...

all i have is this... Image

the guy is "zaco", it's not enough to be a clue but i dont know, maybe using the ingame time the devs can go look at the logs or something ?

some follow up would be nice. anyway.. watch out for big money towards low levels...

I always wait for the other player to accept first

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this scam.
2 actions have been taken:
- the player Zaco has been permanently banned for scamming
- as you suggested, a delay of 2 seconds has been added on trades. After any transaction modification, you have to wait 3 seconds before being able to accept the trade. It is already applied on the PvP realm, and will be applied to the PvE realm during weekly PvP update.
