Funny cause of the way they said it
"Need fast run to the gay place paying 500g"
over and over spamming local

Anyway after someone else corrected them "Sanctum Cay" they then asked for the right place and got a run there

still laugh to this day over that one.........

The tomes/tombs thing annoys me..

The funniest thing is standing in Senji's Corner and looking at all the different ways of spelling: "LFP for Tahnnakai Temple".

Khorrax · Dec 19, 2007, 02:35 PM // 14:35

WTS Magmus Shield...is it that hard to scroll over the item and spell correctly its name?

Another funny thing, although not a trade: probably over a year ago, someone in ToA was looking for Ecto Nukers hehe.

Just saw this winner while hanging around consuming ale in Spamadan:

"Running to jokunar dingis"

darkdreamr · Dec 19, 2007, 03:41 PM // 15:41

WTB Mangrocide gems.

I was like..what? how...?

The tomb thing is a real pet peeve. The words don't even sound the same. B is nowhere near E on the keyboard. I don't GET IT.

I was looking for run to Droknars forge, then someone shouted "FRREE TEST RUN TO DROKS 100% SUCCES!" nice test runner gotta say :P

Rathcail · Dec 19, 2007, 05:12 PM // 17:12

LF runner to bacons peach.

TheRaven · Dec 19, 2007, 07:03 PM // 19:03

Here are 3 gems including the free Kunnuvang I mentioned yesterday.

I didn't black out the sellers name there because I'm not saying anything bad about it. It was a nice selling technique. But please don't try to contact her and ask for the pet. This screenshot is about a year old.

R = Rank
E = Ecto
Q = Requirement

Is it that damn hard to accept the convention?

WinterSnowblind · Dec 19, 2007, 11:21 PM // 23:21

My lies.. bring them back.

Not so much a trading incident, but still very bizarre.

Rehnahvah Gahro · Dec 19, 2007, 11:25 PM // 23:25

Some of these farmers must be braindead or they JUST DO NOT understand me. Or is it me who does not understand?... I laughed really hard... ok pls thx?
I'll translate:

He: 4k ok
He: yes
He: ?
Me: ok
He: ok
He: ok
He: 4k ok
Me: Yes ok
He: ok
He: ????????

He: Words I don't understand
He: Words I don't understand

Q sounds silly and rank is irrelevant to selling items in PvE.

I don't know, q seems to be fair game now since it's been adopted by the community. Q on the other hand is not so please use "req" or "q" people.

Regardless, when you see "r" ingame, you're liable to think "rank". It's like someone giving another meaning to the acronym "wtf"; even if said new acronym makes perfect sense, I'm already used to "translating" that phrase a certain way, and it's more inconvenient to relearn another one than it is to just use a new letter that works perfectly fine.

The really silly thing is the lengths some people go to protest the whole "q = requirement" thing. Give it up already, it's in every bloody thread related to trades, pet peeves, or funny stories I've read in this forum. You're not going to get people to use "r"; if you want to, fine, but we really don't need to hear time and again how stupid you think "q" is (not just directed at you, but everyone who's posted something like that recently).
