Vendor Search Seller's Descriptions
The power scrolls and primers were a good start but the devs should really look into the rest of the items on vendor search intentionally written to deceive the buyers. Balron Bone Armor, Sentinel's Mempos, Corrupted Paladin Vambraces, and now even the Plunderin' Pirate hats on more than one shard but especially Atlantic. I don't understand how hard it for a GM to respond to a page that someone is scamming and it be easily confirmed, then delete their vendors and give them one warning before they are perma banned. It's understandable that it should be buyer beware, but that is for the occasional item, not pages of these items allowed to go by with no consequences. Please clean this behavior up out of the community. @Kyronix

UO is trying to police this better by not allowing seller’s descriptions on some items. Outright lies should not be allowed when found.
This wasn't just happening on Atlantic but there they go overboard with them named that. This is intentional behavior and shouldn't be allowed. It isn't a buyer beware, it is a SCAM!!!
This is different than putting a description on Artisan Festival items, where all the same items are just named one thing. They are doing it to DEFRAUD. And should be held accountable. Then this behavior would stop
however, when looking for a plunderin pirate hat
it is aggravating when you have to click the right arrow repeatedly because of the SCAMMERS.
the first few days, a friend said she got tired of clicking the arrow after doing it for around 50 times. All of those were fakes. And today i did that 23 times and that was just the ones that were listed under the 175K prices. (they also did it at higher amounts too)
It is a scam and should not be allowed. Them allowing stuff like this, is what drives people away from the game.
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
And to whoever complained about us having a gate to the sea market.... I put a pox curse on you!
I don’t sell on Atlantic so I guess it does not bother me that many players looking to buy plunderin hats on Atlantic would probably give up on trying to find the actual number of hats they need long before they got through the 31 or so pages of tricome hats labeled by the seller as plunderin hats that precede the pages of vendors actually selling plunderin hats. UO I know cheating is part of your games culture, but really I think you can do better than this. Who’s going to scroll though what appears to be at least 31 pages of mostly bogus plunderin hats?
Do you ever think maybe there's a reason that the gameplay you covet has basically perished completely from the face of the earth?
that many players will give up looking for hats before they get to those. Only plus, I see is the reward items that I looked at were legitimate. If I played on Atlantic, my vendor would be selling those instead of hats. And, if I were selling the fake hats, I would price my real items so they come up first in searches.
Problem solved.
