Hi guys. Some of you may have read my other post about being scammed by a person named KingChrons in Broa for 3m when I attempted to buy a 2x Family buff from him. Since then, I've been scammed two more times (three total). I've bought numerous other 2x buffs from other people, ususally the people I buy from are people I know or people who are trusted sellers (they have listings on Basil and such). I know its stupid to get so worked up over such a small amount of money, but the scamming going on in Broa really ticks me off. Everywhere you turn theres always someone out trying to get you. I bet you if those scammers stopped scamming and went out and quested/farmed they would make more money. Instead they ruin the game for others. ANYWAYS! Getting to the main point; I wrote down the names of the three people that scammed me. iVaako, KingChrons, and another person (can't remember it off of the top of my head). Do you think it would be wrong to go and KS them while they're training? I was thinking of doing it during a 2x event just to make them that much more mad. They scammed me before when I was 9x-11x. I warned them that if they didn't give me the 2x buff I payed for- it would come back to haunt them. Now I'm level 133 with Genesis. Should I go for it? (They're both under 4th job. One is 8x and one is 10x I believe.) Pro: Get back at scammers. Show them whos boss. Give them a taste of their own medicine. Con: Some may think that you are sinking to their level. Anyone have an opinion on this? PLEASE READ BEFORE VOTING: THE LAST OPTION ON THE POLL WAS: "Don't killsteal scammers, you'll sink to their level". Thank you.

Well, thanks for proving my point that truly every bishop out there kses, and anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. But seriously, they didn't give you a 2x buff a long time ago? That's it? Let it go, you're just stooping to their lvl. Besides, you won't be accomplishing anything. They probably won't even remember you.

KS the crap outta them! The only thing they lose is exp and a little bit of time until they give up and log off. On the serious note, I would just let it go. I might go to them during 2x and talk to them, and if they are rude, pretend you are about to KS them.

And yes I will accomplish something. I will ruin their fun in Maplestory. Because they chose to ruin mine.

something corrupted can be justified wit more corruption more people corrupt = more people will get aware of this corruption = fixing time so KS them on 2x

Just do it, actions come with consquences and if they can do the action they can take the consquence.

That i feel is justified. They scammed you, get back at them. If someone slapped you across the face would you sit there and do nothing?
