By how many players out there are falling for the GM scam thing. I myself got attempted to get scammed by a fake GM yesterday and hands down, it was pathetically obvious. Lets review the 4 basic terms of the GM's guideline to the public (This is straight off from the GMS website): 1) GMs will NEVER ask you for your account information including your ID or password. 2) GMs CANNOT drop or trade any items or mesos (so do not ask them). 3) GMs will NEVER ask you for items (they don�t need your items). 4) GMs chat in blue text. *Wink*Wink* on #3 -___-. Even if you guys weren't aware of the guideline, use COMMON SENSE for crying out loud. Do you really think GMs will ask you for your equips? What kind of GM would do that in any game? And FYI, they already possess the ULTIMATE equipment (Ex: A GM Hat gives +999 to ALL stats, and gives 9999 W.M/Def, and other equipment they have are in the same degree of power; they are way beyond what we can produce with any types of scrolls.) I honest think if you got scammed by this maneuver, not to be rude, but you have issues.

GMs talk in white text right? I'm sure blue texts are only notices.

Lol, I know right? GM's are very rare... so if one is talking to you.. it's 99.9999999% likely it's a hacker.

Look, guys... it's very simple. If someone who is claiming to be a GM shows up and ask you for items or account info, ask them to give you a second and report them for being a fake GM. Heck, while you're at it, take a screenshot of the conversation and log a ticket into the main site with the image as evidence. Even if the loser DC hacks you, in the end, you get the last laugh. They will likely be banned for their fake GMing (especially if you logged the ticket with the image as proof).

NeoDagger Then this just proves that the majority of the Maple community is made up of users less than 13 years old. Poor kids.
