I don't know if its juts me, but more and more, I see players coming into pre searing ascalon and dye farming. They create a new charcter buy all the black dye they can and ever color they can from newbies who don't know any better and then take it back to sell in post searing ascalon.

Something needs to be done about it. I think its wrong to scam newbies in this manner. It hasn't happened to me personally, but I just can't stand seeing it done to people who are new to the game. Thoughts ?

dude if they want to take 6 hours and get like 4k let them i can do a quest in ring of fire in 30minutes and get an extra 2k ez just calm down theres no problem with people buying dyes in presearing personally to take the time to get 1000-2000 gold in pre sear is such a waste of tiiiimmmmeeee

Im not hyped up at all, I dont need to calm down, I think its wrong pure and simple, and to be honest, I could rob you blind of dye in a few minutes and be level 3 and out the door to make the sale in under 30 minutes. And get far more then 2000 gp, 1 black dye sales for 4, you have an inventory of atleast 10 slots, you can very easily get 10 to 20 k in one run and people are doing it. Its unfair and its wrong.

Do what I do in presearing when I hear "Buying Black Dye for 200"...

I always shout "Black Dye sells for 3k-4k in post searing" (at the time, it did... Not sure what it sells for now)

Sometimes, I get a curse fest from the farmer telling me to be quiet... Other times I get "really?" from the new players...

Basically, if the new player wants to get cheated out of some gold at a later date, for gold in his account now, that's his/her business... But I just make sure the playing field is level, when I can...

Frankly I don't see anything wrong with preying on others stupidity with virtual items. I never made any trades until I had enough information to adequately determine if I was getting ripped off or not. If some people don't, that's their problem and loss.

You are an idiot. If he hasn't bothered in game, there is no need to /ignore. There is also no need to put out this flamebait

nechronius · Jun 29, 2005, 09:56 PM // 21:56

Hehe, I do believe Arrow already ran out of slots for people to add to their ignore list anyway....

Jun 29, 2005, 09:58 PM // 21:58

when i hear "black dye for 200" i jump on that faster than a male dog in mating season. I love noobs.

anyway, i create characters just to spend tens of hours dye farming. the grawl in green hills country are particularly good prey. and when i get higher levels, i go for the charr across the wall.

Do you enjoy making useless posts? There really is no need to say something like that especially when you don't understand my own reasoning for saying that or myself for that matter.

Of course you are forced to buy their dyes against your will?

Solution: Make your own new character and go outfarm them.

Dreamsmith · Jun 29, 2005, 11:48 PM // 23:48

OMG! There are people in the world that still act on that incredibly evil principle, "Buy low, sell high"? They MUST be stopped!

Numa Pompilius · Jun 30, 2005, 01:18 AM // 01:18

The point is that noobs have no way to know, or even reason to suspect, that dye is expensive post searing.

When I hear people preying on noobs in pre-searing, I do like that other poster: I shout what the prices of dye post-searing is.

Paladin_Adoni · Jun 30, 2005, 02:06 AM // 02:06

taking advantage of people who are new to the game and dont know better is bad!

I dont care what your "reasoning" is, you shouldnt do it. how about instead of bringing the community down (thats all your doing, when these people get to post-searing and see how much they got ripped off, there pissed, and more than likely start to view others as shady). you help these new people by telling them what there really worth.

for gods sake, if your in pre-searing go actually farm the dye. the whole place is like dye central! and stop preying on the new people.

its just wrong. END OF STORY

Who are you to judge what is right or wrong?

I'll leave it up for ANet to decide.

Paladin_Adoni · Jun 30, 2005, 02:19 AM // 02:19

the common decency of a person is the judge.

Anet are just the executioners :P

DrSLUGFly · Jun 30, 2005, 02:20 AM // 02:20

lol... this is getting ridiculous... we aren't in a police state here. The whole functionality of a free market is that SOMEBODY is paying or receiving less than they should and therefore somebody else is making cash... It's not farming it's trading and there's a crucial difference.

Someone said "silver for 50" I bought it. They said ty, I said ty, nobody was hurt. Where's the issue? Later they realize that it's worth 10 times that (the equivilent to black for 300) and think, 'oh crap, well, I'll hold on to the next one then.' And that's it.

As was said, if someone is spending all the necessary time to buy black dyes in pre-searing (including the time it takes to make a few hundred coin while there, the deleted character, levelling the character to post-searing... let them... it's all good

Paladin_Adoni · Jun 30, 2005, 02:32 AM // 02:32

^ a suprising (NOT) view from someone who does it.....

Dax · Jun 30, 2005, 05:31 AM // 05:31

Well, coming from someone who has never bought or sold anything to/from a player, I don't think it's so bad. After all a new player doesn't really need that much money (unless they do something stupid like pay someone so they can get endgame armor), stuff drops like crazy in the game and there isn't a whol lot to buy.

I've gone through most of the game, selling everything to merchants and traders, upgraded my armor everystep of the way...non rushed. and I still have more money than I know what to do with. But if there are people who want to be enterprising and farm dye or buy it from the newbies who are more than happy to get a bit of gold ...let them spend the time doing so

..besides if it's that big a deal new players can create another char and farm dyes themselves.

How do they send items to their post-searing account from their pre-searing?
I've only had the game 2 days thus far and I'd like to know how to send items between characters.
