Mover-NeRo Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 You can try to contact support...but trading on promises are not recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddlir Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Yeah wth were you thinking? Contact support. They might review it and rectify it. My friend accidentally sold his prime frame for 25k credits. He contacted them and they undid it. They seem to be understanding in this way.

(XBOX)Dredd1973 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Don't ever front money (plat). Get what you are paying for at the time of the transaction. You might have had to wait a bit but surely you could have found someone else in the market selling it. You'll probably have to chalk this up as a lesson learned and won't get it back. Sorry you got scammed. Just remember when it comes to deals trust no one, ever. If they can't put what you're paying for up on the trade screen just leave.

F5__ Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 you cant do anything. Trading plat for promises is not enforced. you gave the plat away. move on and learn from this that you dont ever trade unless you have double chcked that you are trading for the item you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukinoki Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Just now, hellodownthere said: wait, why would he need slots if you're buying the riven from him ? Hope you resolve this. The only situation that this can occur is if you don't have enough slots to hold your rivens you are need to either buy more slots or dissolve some rivens before you can either buy or sell them. For instance say you had 60 rivens and had no slots and you got another riven from doing the sorties, or a gift of the lotus had one as a reward, so you went to 61 rivens out of 60. The game won't allow you to trade rivens until you're back within your cap. Even still the game mentions in a few places to never trade for promises, only to trade for what is in the trade window and nothing else and that DE will not enforce trades for promises...so I doubt that the OP will get this resolved in his favor.

Damocles Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 scum should be banned regardless, even though temporary. If I was in charge of this case, it would be a 2 month ban and the riven slots will be removed. The platinum will be refunded to you, but a case will be opened on your account that repeat victimization of the same variety will not see similar performances.

Put in a support ticket. Include as much evidence (screenshots, chat logs) as you can. DE does not enforce trades for promises, but they can take action on people who are acting in bad faith and trying to scam others out of their plat.

That's not true...I was well over my riven limit and I could trade them with no issues. Granted the ones I traded were veiled ones I didn't want to bother with, maybe the trade aspect of it is limited to unveiled rivens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far overcapacity were you? the limitation seems to be, that if you are overcapacity, the trade is allowed as long as the result afterwards will put you within capacity. so, 91 down to 90 is allowed but 93 down to 92 is Not allowed however 93 down to 90 is allowed (all 3 given away in a single transaction) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I've heard from people who were over the cap is that they can't trade rivens or do sorties until they are under the cap. Now I know the limit and how its handled.

(XBOX)EternalDrk Mako Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 you can send a ticket into support and request you plat returned at worst this could end with a learn your lesson, at best you might get plat back, GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had too many rivens I had to get rid of one immediately before continuing. So don’t know about the first part completely. Which is why I wouldn’t have fallen for such lies. But would be nice if there was some sort of list of scammers to warn players of or DE could have some sort of message every time you go to trade chat that reminds you that there are scammers.

Chesty_Puller Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Consider this a hard lesson learned and move on. Maybe you should also go back and reread ALL of DE's policies regarding warframe in order to avoid making any future mistakes of gargantuan neglect.
