Unidentified Luxon Garb with no runes when I identify them?
OK so there was this girl at Temple of Balth who was selling unid Luxon Garb (gold) so I thought yeah why not. I switched to my main char to identify them just to see that I get no runes when I identify, but I do get the gold points for the title. I just get this:
NOTE: No runes were removed or anything. That's the status I got when I id them. I dunno if it's a bug or anything or is the person a "cheater". Should I report to Anet the person or is there something I don't know yet? |

The runes that were on them may have already been salvaged out before you bought them. I believe it's still possible to do that

The player salvaged the rune before they sold the garb to you. It's a common scam, of sorts, though if you only payed for the Garb to ID, and not specifically the rune, then there isn't much you can do (blasted technicalities).

Hmmm I didn't know you could get a rune out of an unid armor?
Well I didn't lose much so I don't care, but there should be somewhere a big warning for people who never been scammed like this and who could spend a lot of money, not just for the point towards title but for a possibility to get sup. rune of vigor xD. |

sorry to say mate, but you got scammed.. now, when you first got the armors did they say unidentified on them? if not, then the person Identified them a long time ago salvaged the runes off and waited for someone like yourself who was looking for a quick cheap deal and didn't pay attention, just saw gold and hit accept having trust and faith in human kind to be nice and actually give what was promised.
sadily anet will not do anything about this, they will simply tell you tough luck.. and pay more attention to your trades next time. it's like the guy spamming in ToA, Chantry, Zin Ku.. WTB Ecto for 7-10k when you know that sounds too good to be true since ecto from the trader has been 6.5-7k lately, so you go and put in all your ectos.. and he gives you 7g or 10g per an ecto and you happily hit accept.. anet will say.. that's your loss, learn to trade and be more careful. use common sense... the worst places for scammers is Balth Temple, and of the Major Trading Cities, LA/Kamadan/KC just scroll over before you buy. btw.. here's the link you want to look at.. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Common_scams <--- common scams Last edited by Astro Pubes; May 15, 2007 at 06:24 PM // 18:24.. |

The thing is they were all UNIDENTIFY when I got them and I identified them and got points towards the title, but nothing on the armor

It is still possible to salvage runes from unid armour before IDing
I always salvage my gold unid runes before sIding them, it usually gives me 2 gold Id's from one item. |

On the note of the OP, I never buy unided armors for this very reason, although it doesnt matter really if you're just paying for the +1 on your wisdom track, it still erks me...

when salvaging unided armor its like salvaging pre-nightfall donno how much you paid for it. 7 golds for 10k is a common price for just the title. |

the botters in Zos Channel sell them 7 for 3k ...
all bots salvage 1st, thats why most of them have R3 -4 in Wisdom title and possably 1-2 in treasure hunter. |
