Ita not a feature, so they can’t do that unless they MAKE it a feature. Sorry you got scammed, but this can’t really work.

To add onto what @TheSwordBlade said, there’s not really a way to make this “safer”. You need to trust who you are transferring ownership to of your room in RecRoom.

RecRoom has stated numerous times they will not resolve player disputes. It’s almost impossible to get the whole context of the transaction and more so to make a valid judgment call afterwards.

If your room has been stolen or you feel you were misguided in a transaction or transfer you can still try and recover your room through zendesk. https://recroom.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Explain in detail what occurred and RecRoom may be able to help you, it’s also best to make aware of those bad actors to them. Some people are simply heartless and steal maps for whatever reason, and if RecRoom see’s them as a continuous problem, they will take action.

Sorry to hear your room was stolen. :cry:

What I’d think to do is to give them the room with a password protection sytem where unoess its enterned the room is rendered useless. Like force dropping makerpen except for you, so when they give u the tokens you enter the password and or delete the circuit board

Yeah ngl i noticed that too when i was Not mad anymore still ty for the reply!

The number of times players have attempted to scam me is crazy. RR could consider making the selling of room templates a feature. :thinking: I know there’s a market for buying maps. This would enable map owners to sell their maps easily, without the need for negotiations or the risk of scams.

You just gave me the best idea but after thinking about it, it might not be the best for code of conduct reasons

I’m moreso hoping for them to just give us the option to offer Room owner for a set amount of tokens in which the other person can accept

I used to play fallout 76 a while lot, and people would get scammed so many times trying to trade weapons with other people. But the community made a discord trade service especially for that. Courier service to be exact. It was backed up by a lot of famous players and many used that service to safely trust each other by their reputation, trade or give permissions too. Maybe there will be something like that in the future?

Yeah that would make almost all the scams stop

Map selling & buying has never made sense to me.

A player gives up either minimal or hard work to some guy/girl who doesn’t even know the logistic fundamentals of a maker pen. They only have such pristine ideas of coercion & saving skills; and make you feel like dirt when you don’t give in.

The goal that they always have is to build an arsenal of maps for fame. Fame is what everyone wants in todays world.

It’s disgusting.

But, obviously I’m not Houdini and I can’t solve all the problems in the world.

I’ll simply just put it as this: We need better security than just typing ‘X’ when we want to give ownership to another player.

I think you should have to do a system where a mod will get a notification asking if you can give the map away
