Solution to prevent scamming/being scammed

Hey guys, I've heard lots of stories of how people have been conned/scammed of their cards/pots when asking for cards they have never had before and both parties offer their cards for 1 dorri under ally-only-trade. Either party has to offer their card first and has to fear of being scammed of their cards for 1 dorri, making the trade a major trust issue. If I'm not wrong (haven't been scammed before, so I don't really know), conventionally, scammers take the other party's card without giving the afore-agreed card to the other party in return. Thus, my proposal is for THE PARTY WITH THE LOWER WIN/LOSE RATIO (WIN/LOSE) TO OFFER THE CARD FIRST, since scammers are usally being farmed and have a pathetic win/lose ratio. On the other hand, top players with better win/lose ratios usually hail from top guilds and have more to lose if they scam as they'll tarnish their guild's reputation. I'm not saying that scammers always have a low win/lose ratio while a truthworthy trader always has a high win/lose ratio, but it tends to be the case since scammers usually get farmed for scamming. Thus, a player's win/lose ratio can be used an indicator of trustworthiness as a trader and can be used as a trader-rating system. Fortunate players who have never been scammed before (like me) can do their part by attacking scammers to "lower" their rating. Until DreCOM comes up with a proper trading system, I think we should have this policy in place temporarily. I know there are loopholes in this policy of mine, but it's simple and easy to follow. So who's with me?
