Someone live streaming stealing from your customers

[Yvone]

Not a great look. You've got a guy impersonating an NPC "stealing" from your customers. Quite hilarious really.

I'm convinced Odoro works for the STF. Anyways they can't read this cuz its in English, maybe they can but they won't cuz it's in English.

He already got a su5 weapon from someone on asura

everyone knows about this idk how so many people fall for it.

But NPC names should generally be blocked from being character names in the first place.

I'm disgusted at how low some people will stoop, what a psycho, just imagine him sitting there happy hes scamming people and making them angry and upset. I can't imagine such a disgusting sub human would be an upstanding person in real life! SE do something about this monster!

His link to his stream in the thread, I don't want to post it here because maybe they will block me lol.

Why so many people never read game instructions and learn to hit [F8] to target the nearest NPC (which would SKIP the bot Odoro) in order to target Oboro (with a green name fyi).

If the player is too "excited" or rushing or not being careful enough to realize it is NOT an NPC (they give a TOTALLY different response when checked, targeted, interacted with), then can only say it's just as much their fault, like when buying something from the Auction House and spending 10-1000x too much on a bid then realizing how much they lost, even though it ASKS you 3x if this is ok.

Same thing for bazaar purchase. It literally verifies the purchase multiple times BEFORE it completes. You rush thru it and don't read the screen; your fault too. Hopefully learned a lesson.

Except he has been known to randomly start trading players in the area near Oboro, which means if someone does F8 it will target the NPC and trade and it will look very similar if someone isn't paying attention. Just because someone messes up doesn't make it ok, so stop with the victim shaming.

The thing is, even the trade window itself looks different with an NPC vs a player. There is no second item window because NPCs never trade items to you.

It doesn't matter, he is doing things first and foremost with BOTS and its all automated. Secondly, he is harassing players and lastly he is acting out of bad will. Stop victim shaming, people make MISTAKES, we are human ok

It's not victim shaming, it's just a fact.

Yes, they shouldn't be doing it, but we should also be making people more aware of it and what they can do to avoid it. That's not shaming, it's helping.

I didn't realize Odoro was live streaming.

I never fell victim to him but I feel bad for those who do. I interact with Oboro the NPC a lot, but it was to deposit job points to unlock RMEA augmenting, which doesn't involve trading. Recently I started upgrading a +2 Dynamis neckpiece so that could have hurt a lot if I gave it to some crook.

Well, now it's a moot point because I moved over to Bahamut server. But for people still on Asura, all you have to do is blacklist the guy and you'll be unable to trade at all. I tried to spread this message.

Fighting scams is like cleaning up elephant poop with a gardening spade. You can try and try but there's always more crap (victims) coming so you can't keep up.

I'm a little worried though that someone's gonna make an Odoro on other servers. If I register a character on a server and then quickly delete that character, does it lock out the name for others?

[Immortal]

Not if they delete it but if its banned it does block it for everyone. Listen, this is an MMO not a real world. SE has the power to easily ban this guy and anyone pretending to follow in his footsteps. The problem we have is that they care less than nothing about this game! Look at FFXIV, they suspended a bunch of people trolling that streamer guy from WoW. SO they can suspend a bunch of clout chasers for using mounts to block NPCs, but they wont ban a known thief who is actively stealing peoples items maliciously? There can be no further evidence that they absolutely dont care.
