Map scammers need to be banned

scamming

Every player agreed to terms amazon games code of conduct - map scamming definitely falls under "Griefing, and “Defrauding” and thus should be a bannable offence.

My group just got scammed by him today. So they still are not doing anything. He got 3 maps then just Disconnected. We need a Discord or something where we can black list people for this stuff if they are not going to do anything.

No, the fault isn’t on the person getting scammed it’s on the scammer - map groups are a large part of endgame community interaction, and scamming other players this way needs to be ban-able here like it is in Korea.

thats kinda sad that this person can still play 4 days later and still able to scam people,

i’ve been scammed too (by a different person) and this just means that probably nothing happened after 3 of us reported him

He will get 24h or 3 days ban do u think somebody care ? Report it and ignore there is nothing we can do.

I mean if we have a Valtan server discord. People could get map scamming black listed. I dont know tho. It could also be used for malicious reasons. so its a double edged sword.

Apparently map scammers are a pretty big problem in KR too, last LOA ON I think they said they’d look to roll out some option to prevent that (ie. allow everyone to “consume” their map and enter the same dungeon for 4x loot or something)

Got got scammed by the same player. Seems to be a repeat offender.

TBH I don’t think scamming should be bannable because I consider it to be “emergent gameplay”. It’s fun to have community managed blacklists. Player driven drama makes the game more interesting.

It is bannable in this game though.

Our group was scammed by him just now.

@Roxx This is ridiculous

Maybe we could do it whitelist style instead of black list.

Show evidence that everyone on the group did the right thing, then get put on a Valtan map sharing white list. If someone acts dodgy in the future, they get removed.

When whitelisted we could add the people to a custom Global Chat, specifically for map sharing

Makes it harder to abuse but still some work to look people up on the list each time.

This is what we did on our server! When some can be shown to be trustworthy, they are added to a global chat, one for T1-T2 and another for T3. Almost 40 members on both and sharing maps is both fast, and safe.

Can we get an official word on whether or not you are held accountable for agreements you make with other players in game, or it is OK to scam others specifically in the case of agreeing to a map rotation and then leaving on your turn.

Would really appreciate some clarity, thank you.

bruh, I’m just hoarding my maps till they implement a fix :frowning:

Welp thats what you guys sign up for teaming with randos, doubt the dude will be banned. Id rather do them with one other person i trust than risk feeding these waste.

There is already a “fix” for this on KR servers.

When everyone in the party has a yellow map, they can go to the party leaders map location and consume all 4 party maps at once.
Run 1 dungeon for 4x the rewards.

Again just a QoL update that should be in, but isn’t.

That sounds so dreamy!

On the Korean servers map scammers were banned so why wouldn’t they be banned on NA/EU makes no sense

What servers you guys play on ? Thankfully I haven’t encountered any scammers and I had many secret map runs with randoms , I play on Eu central Neria .
