Whoever falls for something like that, to put it bluntly, deserves what they get :|

I remember back 10 years ago... phishing on AOL... I wasn't involved in it, though I was a little hacker girl

I'll bet they bid on their own account to create the illusion of interest.

Wow.

Not realy, I know some avid anti-ebay people that go in and bid to do nothing more than drive up the price. Then of course they dont pay a cent.

Quoted for truth. Our potential for good is outweighed only by our potential for harm.

I think we have enough catalysts in this existance. Somewhere along the line, the concept of money becomes lost in translation. People spend copious amounts of time to earn cash in both reality and Guild Wars, so the kid who mows his lawn for 20 bucks and buys 200k gameside via e.Bay shouldn't be scolded.

Oh, I do know that my afore babble isn't what this topic was talking about; there's a point where someone's misplaced bashfulness of your ethics becomes no-longer misplaced.

And, really, who like non-Chicago deep dish pizza?
