I apologize for not knowing the rarity of all these items, I really don’t care about the wealth of these pixels nor do I really go on AJ a whole lot anymore, so I might not get a few things here >.<

Now, scamming is indeed a bad thing- but lots of people still do it. It’s clearly stated in the rules that it’s not aloud- and it’s clear that what this person did was bad.

My question is, how many people have actually kept their word when doing a ‘ trust ’? I’ve never heard anyone say  “Oh yea, I just got a cool item while doing ‘trust’”   (I have no idea how to form that sentence). All I’ve ever heard was ''“someone scammed me!!!111!”. ''

You did take a risk; even though they did ‘ give their word ’ that they’ll give you the Peacock feathers, wasn’t it at least a bit expected?

Also, this is an actual question; I understand how the ‘trust’ works (you trade items for a necklace or something cheap and trust the other person to decline it, although it’s still more than likely they won’t) but when does the other one hand over the item from the ‘giveaway’?

When they think your trust was ‘ reasonable ’ enough? Or are there ‘levels’, and each level you ‘trust’ rarer and rarer items, until the other person deems the trade rare enough?

I’m sorry about all of these questions, but also; If it’s a giveaway, what’s the jammer gaining by doing a ‘trust’ for it? Let’s say there’re playing fair, and have every intention of giving the item away. They are  not  a scammer.

Why are they doing a trust if they’re not going to get any items from it? Why not just give the damn thing away without having to go through all that?
