There's an undetectable trade-window exploit in the wild now. I recommend avoiding trades with strangers.

self-post, no karma. not trying to start a debate about the policy, just wanted to warn people.

bottom line: there are trade exploits in the wild that do not rely on the old quick-switching and relying-on-your-victim-to-not-notice.

there is no visual cue to ascertain whether you are about to be scammed. don't buy stacks from strangers.

ensuring you accept the trade after the other party may help mitigate this, but you're still vulnerable to a variation on the older timing attack that way.

the 2nd link above explains it.

I filed a ticket to find out the policy on this. Got a real reply (after boilerplate replies, of course):

ticket response

I blurred the GM's name. I don't want him getting harassed, and I appreciate him taking the time to write a human response that his peers in the ticket wouldn't. :)

here's the text of the ticket response for those of you who can't do imgur:

>So if I buy gold via the RMAH and then another player uses a known exploit to take it, I have no recourse?

Correct, at this time there is no recourse in this type of situation. You can report the player to us and we will investigate their actions whenever possible, but please do not expect that a reimbursement will be on the way or anything of that nature in Diablo 3. Regrettably, it is just not a service we are able to provide at this time.

tldr: the bold stuff.
