Karaido - Thief?

[nienn 0]

I don't know if there is rules against intentionally misleading players, i.e. accepting gold for help?

I struck a deal with the player Karaido (a level 60 warlock), of the guild Chromaggus on Elysium.  Money was exchanged and accepted by Karaido to help a group of four other players complete a quest.  It was made clear that a certain NPC was needed to complete our quest. He took us into the quest area and then left for a battleground.  No refund on the money was given and communication with him thereafter was pretty lax... he just laughed it off and went on his way not assisting us to complete the quest or providing any form of compensation. The named NPC that was needed was never killed. 

In terms of monetary value, it's not huge. But nonetheless money was exchanged and for a low-level character I could've used that gold for something else / training / gear / someone else to help... whatever.  I think it's the dirty principle of misleading people that have good intentions and follow through with their end of the deal (which I did) and then the other party legging it once they have the gold.  It's pretty dishonest and although I wouldn't say that it's on-par with gold-selling / stealing it's probably on the same spectrum of dishonesty.

Nope, no rules. You can try to ask his guildmaster, but dont expect much(99,9999999% ignore). Also, i dont see any proof of "happily took gold".  And dont trust too much any random ppl in the game, especially russians.

Yes it's against the rules to scam on Elysium.

B. Interacting with players and staff

Communicating in-game with other users and staff members, whether by text or any other method, is a fundamental element of the Game. The following rules are not intended to be exhaustive. Elysium staff may use their discretion to decide what may break these rules.

Participate in any action that, in the sole and absolute discretion of Elysium staff, results or may result in a player being "scammed" or defrauded out of currency or any other items the user has earned.

 

Open a ticket in game. Click the questionmark, report stuck, click button to contact GM, then post this text and links to images as proof. Unless he payed back the gold he is a scammer but in the the end it's up to the GM to decide. To be a thief or scammer you have to have intent. Maybe this guy is just an idiot, who knows.

As @Wrathran has said, please create an ingame ticket for player reports.
