And I'm going to "kindly" ask you to keep your nose out of business that doesn't concern you "troll". How the hell am I a troll? Also, I wasn't directing it at you at all, you helped me, GG, whatever. I was directing it at the people that were clearly taking the piss for what happened.

I suggest YOU stfu. Wtf is wrong with you? Why get involved when you clearly knew I wasn't talking about you and tell me to STFU?

And I don't know about you, but taking the piss out of the situation is hardly "trying to help" is it? I suggest you pick up a dictionary and learn what the word "help" means.

Oh and: Troll - "One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum". Hmm, who does this point to most, me or you?

Grow up.

Gz, way to jump on the bandwagon there son. Everyone else gives me shit so you wanna be a part of it, wow. As I said, gz.

I said it was my fault anyway, I admitted that, and when did I ask for sympathy at all? I asked if there was anything I could do about it fool. Learn to read, kthxbai.

You can try sending in a ticket, but I doubt Anet/NCSoft will do anything about it.

Pretty sucky way to lose a Fellblade

Yes, you could do that - and I`ve done that with Guildies or people I trust.

Look on the bright side:

1. - It`s only game gold - play money - you lost nothing really (except maybe, your innocence.)

2. - It`s a learning experience. Now your sense of naive trust will be tempered with a bit of reality.

Well at least he gave you some good advice

Kerwyn Nasilan · Apr 12, 2008, 04:51 PM // 16:51

You dropped something out side. NEVER DO THAT. Tbh you kind of deserved it.
Also don't always assume these people are scammers. Was selling a Tormented Sword and the person kept canceling. Was about ready to call them a scammer, then I relized I had gold on me.

Yep I know

Oh well, like others have said, I'll learn from my mistakes.

Thank you, this was the kind of response I was looking for.

Also, thank YOU. I don't come on here looking to argue with people, I'd rather just enjoy myself, but when people make fun of me for the situation it's uncalled for, there's no need for it. I already lost the fellblade, and I was just checking to see whether there was anything I could do about it or not. Now I realise there isn't, so I'm just gonna leave it at that.

I don't understand why people have to come into the thread to start a problem for no reason & then complain when I respond to their post. If you don't like my response to your posts, then don't post a negative comment in the first place. I'm not just gonna sit back & take it. (Not directed at you by the way).

Anyway, I've gotta go out now & I'm not gonna check back on this thread at all, so I'm not rising to the posts anymore. I've had my say, and that's it. I'm not turning this thread into a flame fest anymore.

Thanks to all the people that were actually nice about the situation

If it makes you feel better, I had the same thing happen to me once. I noticed the other character was a Warrior, so I thought, "why not?" Idiot me, I didn't notice Assassin as his secondary prof. So anyways, I learned my lesson the hard way. :s

(about the only thing you can do is if you ever see that person in trade chat you can proclaim loud and long to everyone else that he/she is a scammer and not to trade with them..... at least it will make you feel a little better.)

Also, with the release of GWEN there's an Ebon Vanguard skill that acts as a teleport (I believe, it's been mentioned, I'll find it).

So yeah, no going outside with strangers. Their candy is the bad type.

<.<

Found it: Ebon Escape.

i'm sorry to hear that.. but this was absolutely funny reading

. I suspected this scam would take place after u went to an explorable, and was shocked it still works.

mocax · Apr 12, 2008, 05:02 PM // 17:02

fellblades are worth 35k?!

I always salvaged them for the mods, if they survive the salvaging, I dumped it at the merchant....

Lady S Shiva · Apr 12, 2008, 05:15 PM // 17:15

always trade in town and in town only, maybe he got full inventory, maybe u got full in cash, but what any good is ???let???s trade outside??? gonna do. It???s ok to go outside and show the skin, but deal back in town once he saw the item.
If some1 ask u ???I never seen the skin, can I try it with my armor see how it goes? U can hold my FOW armor, and I will buy it if I like it??? or some like that. When that happens, fxxk him and kick him, don???t give a damn about FOW armor cause u cannot wear it, u cannot salvage ecto out of it, and the armor itself sucks.
Always check before u hit accept, especially when other person changed stuff in trade window. The other day a person was buying black dye in kamadan for 7k, I put up black dye and he put up 7k gold, then he says he???s inventory was full and will give me few hide for free, after he changed, there was few hide and 1k gold, and he cancel the trade and left after I said ??? thought so, u little piece of shit???
