Offering tech you do not possess in a trade! 
The game does not verify what you offer, you can offer anything, and receive a bunch of tech for nothing. It's the honor system.
Most times when this happens, this can be viewed as a breach of honor, and that player will not be liked very much.
Gray areas do apply, like offering a gift for expectation of a gift in return... but before the return gift can be offered, your empire relations go sour, and you go to war, which kind of ruins the whole gift exchanging thing.

That has nothing to do with gameyness. There is no reason why you should not be able to make outright lies to other empires in a roleplay environment. Would you call claiming to have 200 ships when you have 50 a gamey action? I would not, I would call it bluffing, lying, whatever. In fact, the game should allow you the option of not going through with a trade you proposed at all. If you refuse to play with a player that roleplays a dishonorable race, then I feel sad for you.  Not everyone should be the good guys. Even in a non-RP game, there should still be the ability to make sour diplomatic deals. |

OH yes it is gamey, and the interface is weak for allowing it so easily.
If I take my cart to the town square, and see that you do not bring your cart, I turn around and go home.
I do not proceed to naively give you my cart.

Re: Gamey Tactics and Bug Exploits Thread Talk
I think you missed my point. It is not about not having a cart, it is about having fake stuff in the cart that seems to have value, but does not actually have value.

Yes, but if I trade you a cart that has bum wheel and you don't find out till it comes off on you way home...
