Ever been nice or had a perfectly fine purple or high req gold turned down
for being crap.
Despite them calling out for an hour that they wanted such an item?

slowerpoke · Dec 24, 2007, 01:52 AM // 01:52

yup.
its hard to even give stuff away without either attracting the undeserving or the suspicious

People are miserable and skeptical. You try doing something nice and you just get insulted most of the time. People aren't always specific in what they want and get grumpy that others can't read their minds - good for a laugh at least.

I had players running away from me when I try to give away low level greens in shing jea to low level characters, one of them even said no before I even ask cos they seen me asking someone else lol... I finally sold it for 35 to the merchant.

i certainly feel that people need to understand that standing there for 2 hours saying 'LEIK OMG WTB A FIEEERY DRAGON SWERD 200000K' and then saying 'OMFG GO AWAY NOOB' when i say "you realise its only worth like 10k, right?". another thing, when someone adds "pm offers please" at the end of a WTS message, DONT PM THEM SAYING HOW MUCH.

To OP: See "Good Deeds" thread and "Random Acts" thread.

This community isn't worth the spit it takes to clean them off with.

Saying PM offers is pretty stupid, shows you dont have a clue what the item is worth, how often do you buy somthing in real life and get asked to offer, you take the base price and barter mabay but not asked to make a price yourself :S. And if somone does give them an offers 99% of the time its "lol noob, its worth way more" or somthing along those lines, the hanvn't realised yet that guild wars players are not mind readers, sadley. Although it is fun to ask how much to either A:Put them in a difficult position, thus forcing a perhaps half assed price (i am a big meanie somthimes =D) B:"Offer" C:lol learn to read". The seller really should make up the price or at least set a guideline...

On topic there are really to many ungreatful 10 yr olds in this game ¬¬. HF in real life.

Pfft noob.

Kidding! =O Anyway... either it's my experience or someone else's and I just don't remember, but either I or someone else tried helping someone with a noobish build, only to be flamed. Grr.

BigDave · Dec 24, 2007, 03:27 AM // 03:27

I used to hand out any unwanted golds/purples/greens for free in some of the newbie areas to help give the new guys a leg up. I'd get maybe 5-10 whispers all at once and obviously i can only answer one at a time. The number of times i was called a scammer, cheater, liar, etc... was unbelievable, just because i didn't reply to their message within 5 seconds. Got fed up with it after a few times so now i just put things in either a general sale here or just merch it.

As usual the few ignorant halfwits spoil it for the many good guys out there.

Oh and yes, i have had it several times when i've answered a msg in trade chat only to be turned down and called a noob or some such. Even though i rarely sell items for their full value i always seem to find those cheeky little bastards who try and haggle you so low you end up giving them gold. Can't stand em.

oh yeah i have had that too...very funny but got a headache from the abuse..lol
tried to tell a new mo/ra that mending wasnt any good for a healing build after copping a lot of grief i thought i would mention also that Charm Animal+Comfort Animal were also a bad choice.

ElinoraNeSangre · Dec 24, 2007, 03:51 AM // 03:51

Flamed for being nice? Welcome to my family life.

Oh wait nevermind, this is about GW.

There's always someone who doesn't know how to be gracious. I don't know why people don't just say "no thank you".

And yeah, I've gotten the flood of messages where people flip out that you aren't answering. Or just they open chat windows and don't bother talking to you at all.

DarkGanni · Dec 24, 2007, 03:54 AM // 03:54

Yeah had this happening, trying to help someone and all I get is flaming, ppl and their ingratitude :@

Dante the Warlord · Dec 24, 2007, 03:56 AM // 03:56

I always get flamed for being nice just cause some idiots think they know everything

So let me get this straight: anyone who doesn't know the current market prices (which fluctuate quite a lot) on a particular item isn't worthy of selling said item?

Or folks that maybe DO know the market prices and simply wish to ignore them in favor of haggling, talking to people, and coming to a mutually agreeable deal likewise don't deserve to participate in the player market?

Attitudes like yours make me laugh.

Merry Christmas.

Today I was in the Astralarium and someone was trying to sell an unid grape for 600g. I asked to see it and it was a req8 Axe with 6-24 dmg. After I told him unid grapes aren't worth anything he told me that he'd sold plenty of them before. *lol* He seemed to get the idea that I was accusing him of being a cheat but I was just letting him know. *shrug* Whatever. Would you rather have someone give you honest advice in a whisper or call you a noob in local chat?
