Wow, I was in Augury Rock Int 1 yesterday to finish up on an auction and to make the trade. But that place is like a big asian marketplace, it was almost completly full and my local chat was spammed with asian symbols followed by 15k or some other price. I forgot to took a screenie but the guy and I were both like: "Wow, look at them asians go". Maybe you can get some good bargains there, however, I have no idea what they were selling.

Anybody else ever seen an Asian market type place?

Anybody have any idea what they're selling?

true ..but ... w/mo's can farm griffons easy too , if thy "nerf" 55 monks there will always be something to take its place , you can farm griffons as w/mes , w/mo w/ nothing , same goes for monks , and not to mention normal ele's , you see you can farm griffons without using a 55 build , it doesn't matter what they nerf , it will still be possible.

dont feel no pain - quoted for truth.

Is getting the Angry Nerfbat of Noobslaying (Provokes vicious backlash +33%, +20% vs n00bs,) out for prot spirit going to change anything at all? Just about any class can solo griffons with the right setup - for example E/W with stances and ripostes is what I use. (It does get boring though.)

B.T.W If anyone wants one of those nerfbats, PM me in game and I'll tell you where to get one

/sarcasm mode cancel.

This is old news. Those asians have been in Augury rock for maybe more than 8 months now. Hell if you can only understand what they're typing, you probably would get a very good deal for a gold weapon.

Burton2000 · Feb 27, 2006, 04:27 PM // 16:27

Shou jin wu qi

That i believe is WTB all your unidentified golds

Tarkin · Feb 27, 2006, 04:29 PM // 16:29

Just about every single class can farm there with dozens and dozens of different builds. Hell, I farm there with a Fire Ele and can clear Prophets Path in under 7 minutes. Nerfing PS will do NOTHING.

I'd believe that

I really can lively imagine a factory hall full of computers. At every computer there is sitting a poorly paid asian guy playing GW and farming those poor Griffons for living

Diablo™ · Feb 27, 2006, 05:16 PM // 17:16

ne se zhon guo ren ma?

...seriously. How did this ever get so out of hand? How does it go unchecked?

Esprit · Feb 27, 2006, 05:23 PM // 17:23

Does anyone really buy anything there?

Fred Kiwi · Feb 27, 2006, 06:37 PM // 18:37

I think we should declare griffons and minotaurs an endangered species soon, or they'll die out.

It's ok, they reproduce like rabbits. Everytime I turn around there's more of them...

This could very well happen. Look at this article written by James Ransom-Wiley for Joystiq.com.

Korean gamers massacre Chinese over etiquette dispute
Posted Feb 21st 2006 3:00PM by James Ransom-Wiley
Filed under: Culture, PC, Online, RPGs, MMO

According to recent reports, South Korean Lineage players have been ganging up on Chinese players in an attempt to wipe them from Korean servers. The recent killings are a response to rumors that Chinese gamers have not been following the unspoken rule: don't take money or items dropped by a monster slain by another player.

Items from the game are sold for real money on online trading sites, and Chinese gamers have been reportedly joining South Korean servers because there are greater opportunities for making real money in these matches due to an abundance of trade. Unfortunately, Korean gamers have begun to see the Chinese presence as a threat, prompting some of these players to stage violent massacres. In areas like the Island of Dreams, where it is relatively simple to earn money, gangs of Korean players have been hunting down any Chinese player that dares to enter the region. One Korean player claims, "you can tell they are Chinese because they can't speak Korean."

Lineage continues to be plagued by identity theft, which may be linked to reports that suggest there are Chinese sweatshops where workers play ceaselessly to earn money using Korean identities. More than 220,000 South Koreans have reported their identities stolen. NCsoft, makers of the game, are aware of the virtual genocide and have begun blocking Chinese IP addresses on Korean servers. NCsoft has sided with Koreans because the company is against item trading, which NCsoft apparently considers an exclusively Chinese practice.

Nerfing Proct Spirit would not be an easy thing to d ocause it would greatly effect pvp as it would give spike a giant leap in advantage so I wouldnt expect to see anything done about protective spirit.

Maxiemonster · Feb 27, 2006, 08:16 PM // 20:16

What I'm thinking is that some Asian rich guy pays about 10 thousand Asians to collect about 500K gold each week for him, because he thinks he's impressive that way.
