Hello everyone, and welcome to the first post of a brand new series we at the SASS are starting. This is Agent Insights, where we write about our thoughts on scamming. Without further ado, here is the first post: why do scammers scam for pixels?
First of all, let us look at these pixels. They only exist in AJ (and PW for some) and do not exist in real life. So why do scammers scam for these pixels that do not exist in real life? Let us see.
DISCLAIMER: Everything I'm gonna write here is going to sound like I'm justifying scamming. Don't get me wrong. Scamming is still bad and against the rules no matter what I write. This post is just to see what scammers may think when they scam.
Ok so, we know that these rare stuff that scammers scam for are rare and valuable. I can see why some scammers scam for such items because they really, really want those items. Granted, some of those items actually have a good design. Old items that are not on sale anymore like flower crowns? They actually look good. Newer players never had the chance to buy them when they were available. Sometimes, trades are just a tad unfair. Usually, trades are rare items for rare items, but if you can't even get rare, how would you trade?
Another thing that came to my mind is self-esteem. For some, getting rare is a morale and self-esteem booster. It makes them feel good, almost elite, when they get their hands, or paws, on something valuable. Now, to correct this way of thinking, why not boost self-esteem by doing good for the community instead? Reporting scammers and bullies, hosting true, real giveaways, there are so many ways that happiness can be derived from doing good.
One last thing: bragging. Some people get rare to brag. However, how would you feel if you were listening to another jammer bragging? That isn't nice, is it? So, why would you want to make people feel lousy by bragging yourself? Think about that.
Well, that's all from me now. Until next time. Ciao!
