1. In-game trade windows - double "accept"

    Hi,

    I'm not playing on retail but from what i've seen, there is, for now a few years, a system of double "accept" which asks, once u click on "accept" on the in-game trade window if you are SURE u want to make the trade.

    I may be kind of blind but i haven't seen any other suggestion about this on the forum, but i wouldn't be surprised if it had already been suggested.

    Ofc it's not blizzlike but tmog's aren't neither, it doesn't change gameplay experience, it would permit to bring trade scams to an end, and in-game reports about this kind of problem would disappear.

    Ty for reading.

  2. Here is an example : https://youtu.be/nc-nYqAWvXQ?t=41
    If timer doesn't work, go at 0:40. As u can see, it asks if u are sure u want to accept the trade.

    I'm sorry for posting asmoncancer but that's the first thing that comes to my mind when i think of retail kek.

  3. This is actually good suggestion, there would be less scams because there are too much people trying to scam others.

  5. Because there are addons for this..ST and few more
    Well i guess no one would need that addon anymore, as it would be included in game script.

    in addition preventing script execution via some public PvE addons
    I'm not sure understanding this, could you please developp a bit further ?

    Ty

    great suggestion. year ago i came across some video where guy on warmane Icecrown is getting scammed for battered hilt in a very clever way.

  8. I'll give you example with addon from Classic
    Check the video under "Gold trade".
    On the victim side, the frame is manipulated as well and it doesn't even show that you, as victim are offering all of your gold on the trade.
    In short you're able to execute any lua code you want, even Logout() to instantly log out the victim after the trade has been finished.

    With so many addons (especially backports of fancy classic/retail stuff) out there, and players installing literally everything without knowing what is inside makes them potential TAs of "I've logged and all of my gold is missing. HELP". Some intentionally injected, some just poorly filterered by the og author(s), but it's fact that nobody's reviewing the quality of any of these addons or at least nobody care to do it for the community's sake being pirate server and ungrateful work

    So without addon with own frames and checks managing the trade window, telling you exactly what you're currently trading nothing will help. Default frames are/will be default for any client and it's cake to manipulate knowing them even if there is integrated await or something else
    If i get this correct, the vulnerability is linked to the addon itself, right ? What if the warmanegamemasters do it correctly ?
