What should we do to solve the problem of fame scammers?
-
This is the problem of exchanging fame. When you fame a person, you expect him to fame you back. It is suppose to be a fair trade. However, what happens when the other person doesnt give you back fame? What should you do? What sort of redress do you have?
Therfore, the system of exchanging fame is flawed because it is a system with no safeguards in place. It is totally reliant on trust between 2 consenting parties.
One remedy to this solution is to remove the fame system from the game. The fame system after all serves no useful purpose other than an avenue for one to earn extra mesos by selling fame.
The original objective of the fame system is to reward people who are friendly and helpful. People withe more fame are seen as more helpful and kind. However, abuse of the system has lead to people to abandon such thinking.
People are simply buying and selling fame. Thus we see that the fame system no longer meets its objective and is now a source of misery for people who are scammed of their fame and a source of income for people who sell fame.
MapleSEA administrators do not provide any guidelines on the trading of fame as it is not encouraged. Afterall, the idea of giving fame is to be done on a voluntary basis and the giver should not expect anything in return.
As such, we should completly do away with the fame system as it is obsolete and no longer serves its purpose. -
got purpose one. If you get hacked of all your eq, you can sell fame to earn back some mesoes so you can start all over again.

actually, it's not about trust. it's about doing something good and get the fame for free, because we do some good deed. the purpose of fame is to encourage ppl to act nicely so that they would get fame from other ppl.Originally posted by shade343:This is the problem of exchanging fame.

but since ppl dont even bother reading the maplestory rules and regs, they dont know what's the use of fame and stuff. so, i think asiasoft should remove the fame system. -

who cares about fame. u scam den u scam la.

at my time one fame should cost around 5 - 7k meso? i mean this amount can be earned back in no time don't you think so? if you were really scammed of your fame that day suay la. don't really have to make a big fuss out of it. i feel buying and selling fames are more trustable since its proven by other players compared to trading fame. but since i don't play maple anymore i don't really know how is the current situation. might be getting from bad to worse

in gMs's first 4 days, a fame costed 700 mesos only.

if someone scam me...
i mass defame that fella
but then usually when ppl say trade fame i boh hiu one
