Pupu · Aug 05, 2006, 11:01 PM // 23:01

Evilsod · Aug 05, 2006, 11:05 PM // 23:05

Looks like another pointless scam if you ask me...

VitisVinifera · Aug 05, 2006, 11:07 PM // 23:07

maybe ps but who actually has salvaged a crystalline?

Malice Black · Aug 05, 2006, 11:10 PM // 23:10

in-game proof is always needed as kids have good PS skills these days

Pupu · Aug 05, 2006, 11:11 PM // 23:11

You can see that the rest of the text box is slightly transparent but around the text "Crystalline Shard" there is a black square around it. This is a bad PS attempt.

Seems like it's even a secret to Anet! Now... why would a crafting material exist that isn't on the crafting material storage's list?

The Herbalizer · Aug 05, 2006, 11:21 PM // 23:21

omeone I knew said how when he was holding halls someone got a gold crystalline. he salvaged instead of iding and he sure as hell didnt get one of these shards. i call bs

Retribution X · Aug 05, 2006, 11:22 PM // 23:22

Ps'd...

BhaalSpawn · Aug 05, 2006, 11:36 PM // 23:36

That's some pretty good PS; had me fooled, but then again who would buy crafting material that has no apparent use or function.

Oh wait someone bid on it already... well then besides that guy.

Vahn Roi · Aug 05, 2006, 11:49 PM // 23:49

why doesn't some one buy it?

I mean you could say you have 510k even if you don't and it would at least force the seller out into the open and he would have to show you the item.

If it turned out to be real, you may get some bad feedback >.>

Vahn Roi · Aug 06, 2006, 05:17 AM // 05:17

I can't believe this, it has ten bids already.

BloodBuckle · Aug 06, 2006, 05:28 AM // 05:28

Ofcourse its ps'd. And people only bid on it to see it.

That was a pretty lackluster photoshop. should have at least blurred the transition areas.
