Wouldn't this prevent scamming?

    How come no one asks for collateral or some form of insurance when asking for refine service or piercing? Have them give you something of equal value to hold onto

    Wouldn't that help reduce scams??

    Nope, the person whose given the items etc could run off with the goods, with insurance scamming can go both ways

    For refines yes, theres an option if u want something pierced so someone can pierce it without the item leaving ur bag, if someone tells u to trade over the item so they can pierce it, dnt do it

    To be honest, there are several option that we can guess....
    1. Seller ask buyer to gave equipment to pierce and people too stupid or not know how it work. This method always bring successful if victim is new member (not know anything)
    2. Seller ask equip (like point 1), but buyer not giving any trust (being preventive). Then, they shout scam to make seller (fake/scammer) mad.
    3. Shouter is scammer that wanna ruin seller shop. Some case this one lead into threatening someone. (I actually experience these one. Someone use this case so they can begging for spina in elite ways)
    4. Just for fun (Just Kidding, that what they said). Not even know what on their mind. Maybe their mind broken (?). Who knows.
    If in that case then it should be good then? If the scam go both way, with equal value, you can reduce loss too. But if insurance not balanced, it will gone one-side as well. Well this one only my opinion. Can be right, can be wrong either.

    Well at last if you can gave equal insurance ^^
    If the insurance like full sets (stat 14 + S refine + 2 slot with xtal) they will always run off you know x.x because that is thief favorite

    This insurance thing does not make sense, it's like giving a person that's buying a choice of free items. The person selling the refine or piercer, or even statting is shouldering way too much risk. The item being worked on uses resources, where is the insurance to cover for the cost of that? only way around it is maybe a trusted 3rd party that's not going to happen in this game.
