Got scammed in traderie

It takes all into account, I just did the math. He has 6 scams out of 363, so (357*5+6*1)/363 is 4.93 as the site says. So pay attention to the 1 star reviews in future trades there.

Thanks for taking the time to check and confirm how it works

My guess is that's hard to tell just by looking at the stars whether a person has 5.0 or 4.9, especially if just at a quick glance.

Sure, that's true, but you only need 2 clicks to be sure, as the scammers always get 1 star. First one on the nickname, to get to his profile and second one on 1 stars under the Review Ratings. It instantly shows the 1 stars reviews if any.

Hello buddy. Condolences on your loss. Fortunately, I have never had a scam on any of the platforms. The only time I've been scammed was when my wife and I were clearing out our inventory and someone on my friends list walked into my private game and started picking up charms and runes from the Ground. After that, I delete each after the trade if he has a low rating or I haven’t played with him often before. Please send me a link to this scammer's profile in a PM.

Well the only "scam" i experienced in traderie ( i use it sometimes to buy things i need if theres none available in here ) is that the list was saying Superior

Ettin Axe 15% ED / 15% Durability and ended up being 15/12

Wasnt a big loss but its actually funny, interesting and obviously alarming the ways people invent to steal, even a bit if possible in trades.

But anyways all in all always be on your toes, especially with traders you never traded before and especially in that iffy/murky website called traderie.

Such a good group of helpful people here! I didn't realize you could do that. I would go through lists of comments instead :/. Thanks!

Well, I found that today myself. You can do it on Google reviews so I said I'll try it. It worked.
