Smile i had fun tonight

I was in LA just now before going to sleep where I saw some guy trying to sell white dye for 30k.

I pm'd him to see if he was serious and it seemed he was and he said it was cheap for white dye. I asked if he wanted to buy some dye from me for 10k and I think he misunderstood me because he replied 14k.

I said yeah why not and acted like i didn't know how to play at all. I said i couldn't see him. He asked what district i was in, i said what's that? i finally told him my district then he told me his district and told me he was coming. I decided to switch to that district to let the game go on for longer.

He caught me after 20mins from first replying. I said I only had 1000g and he was shocked. When I told him he should look and see how much the dye trader sells it for, he said "no, they suck." Then "I have to go ty neway."

Sorry I'm not a good story teller, but I had alot of fun doing that...
has anyone else done something like this?

Hmm, seems to me you acted like an annoying jerk. You basically wasted that guy's time. If you're defense is that he was selling way over market value then that's a shabby defense. He's allowed to ask whatever he wants for that dye.

Maybe you need to update your definition of "fun?"

I've had fun experiences with scammers. Just act like you don't know what's going on (even though you do) and then play along, it's funny to see how much time some people will devote to scamming you.

I had a fun night, too.

*Spank, spank*

But seriously, why did I waste my time reading this? Actually, to be honest, why did you waste your time doing this? :S

LOL - I understand the temptation. But I just tell them the cost of the item at merch and the sales value to the merch and then suggest they try between those values.

Considering this topic is pointless, why does everyone keep screwing up the usage of your and you're? It's not that hard to get it right, really.

Nothing wrong with jerking around an abusive ass.

Yeah, I love when people do that...

Since we are going off track...

Mine is when people say they could care less...if you could care less then you must care some. To use this correctly you would say that you couldn't care less...that way you don't care at all and in fact care so little that it is impossible to care less...

Hehe, cute. I normally just end up smacking my head into my desk after a few minutes of trying to convince people that the dye trader dictates dye prices, and the same for all the other traders.

Oh come on. Forum community's no better than the one in game, tbh. Despising the majority of both with a few exceptions (mainly those rare people with a clue) ftw.

So get the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO out of here Zinger, you trolling shit.

You play WoW. Do we care? No. Is your commentary/input ever constructive or helpful? No. Should you stop haunting these forums? Yes.

If you love whining so much, do it in WoW. There's a hell of a lot more people who will listen to you.

And yes, I just flamed you to hell and I don't care, seeing as you're the bitch king of trolling.



On topic. Funny story, scams are fun to turn upside

The ops story was lame, but damn.

Can Zinger314's life get any more pathetic, actually starting to feel sorry for the person for having no life at all to speak of.
