Is there any hard reason against T&C that b4 scammers are safely roaming and cancering the server? Are you telling us that scamming is ok? Cuz if it is im gana scam too.

Only fools get scammed !
little tips:
- ask them to link the key in chat before paying
- check if they are from a respectable guild
- check how many times the player has advertised for a B4 slot in world chat by scrolling up a bit.
Editted for a forgotten word - "item"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt the key consumed if you open the chest? Hence if the scammer just leaves the party when you pay. It makes zero difference to them as long as they dont open the chest for you? And that makes it impossible for you to be safe against a scammer.
Sure opening the gate proves they have a key, but it doesnt prove that they will open the chest in the end.
Haven't done a B4 run myself so I wasn't aware of that fact, I thought the key was consumed on entry (never really looked at my key stack when doing B1 so I assumed they took it on entry). Either way, regardless of if it's a FD or B4 run or whatever, if you purchase a run for a dungeon, never ever pay upfront unless the seller is reputable since Nexon will not claim responsibility if you get scammed.
Paying meso for dungeon runs was something developed by the community and was never intended by the developers. If you choose to do so, you should understand that you pay at your own risk.
