Bug Unknowingly swindled out of money using the arena

[Epic_Penguin111]

I have been swindled out of almost all my money after dueling in the arena. I am not sure how this happened. The time was 9:20 PM PST on 6/17/15 and I was dueling in the arena. When i went in I had 750$. When I came out I had 50$. I did not do any payed duels, only /duel and thats supposed to only cost one dollar right? I dont know what happened, but I need my money back to support my township. Please help!

When a player /duel's you he can put X amount of money as a bet, it tells you tho if some one does it, you must not have read the chat properly.

When you get dueled, it says something like "Souls=X" if the guy changed the amount, you just didn't read/notice it because it usually isn't there, happened to me too. I do believe it isn't nice to do that to others, but it's still our fault for not reading the chat properly.

I suppose your right, but this isn't public knowledge if you and I both got scammed out of money. This should be stated in arena, like on one of the signs.

or maybe it is and I am just a dunce.

I asked spiralz into the arena to test out the command and we couldn't even figure out what the command was, nothing we tried was working. We assumed it was disabled or something.

I wanted to see if the notification was easy to miss because it looked just like /o or skill spam, in that it was white or something.

Its' /duel (player) money (amount of souls)'

It doesn't appear in white, it's Green/Red like the rest of the Duel text, though as said before, since it's not there usually, you tend to miss it.

They needa fix / should fix that

Yes, since my previous post Xel and I did some duels and to me, looking for it, I saw it. But it's barely a few extra bits in between two standard lines of duel text, in green/yellow. As a player that duels daily and may just /accept out of habit the moment they see green and whatnot, I could absolutely see it being missed. And by the time they went back to town/TD to poke around and buy something, they'd have no idea who took money or when.

Perhaps just an extra word to accept a money duel. Like... If it's '/accept' now, it would be '/accept bet' to do a duel with money. If a person just typed '/accept', the system would return that 'Bet not accepted.' Or something. That would alert them to double check the duel request.

Although word has gotten around, I still see this as an important thing to tweak.

Or people could read the thing they are accepting? That's why there is an option to decline.

so by the logic of saying this is legal, I could take a noob off the streets tell him I would duel him to teach him about the style of PvP this game uses, and then do the /duel bet as all his money (50$ or so). And your telling me this would be legal?

atm yes it is perfectly legal

Just make it so that the accepting player also has to put the same bet amount in. If they don't explicitly agree on the bet then the duel is void.

That is how it works currently. It's also how Awakened_Void got rich, porygon tried to swindle him in this fashion and void knocked him flat on his scrubby little ass, and took 25K from him.

Incorrect, void was the one who challenged wild. Most people had no idea you could duel for money up until that point.
