I got scammed! - Guild Wars Forums

hevi metalac · Aug 04, 2008, 09:36 AM // 09:36

One guy wanted to buy my guild, and he didn't want to pay before he was promoted to leader, so i was actually stupid enough to promote him before he gave me any money. Now the guy kicked me out of the guild, and is ignoring me, what should i do? I was weary stupid, i know that...

Nothing you can do.
QQ elsewhere.

Calista Blackblood · Aug 04, 2008, 09:43 AM // 09:43

absolutely nothing you can do other than start a new guild if that was your plan

obsidian ectoplasm · Aug 04, 2008, 09:49 AM // 09:49

Nothing anyone can really do here to help you.

all we can basically do is say "Sorry to here your loss"

and thats about it

hevi metalac · Aug 04, 2008, 09:53 AM // 09:53

What should you do?

Don't be stupid in the future.

Alex the Great · Aug 04, 2008, 01:12 PM // 13:12

don't sell guilds next time.

TheodenKing · Aug 04, 2008, 01:16 PM // 13:16

Well... at least you get the satisfaction of knowing that he got stuck with a guild with whatever lame name you chose. (You get what you pay for).

Luminarus · Aug 04, 2008, 01:20 PM // 13:20

Well... I first of all think you were lucky to find that dood. When i tried to sell my guild, i ended up being unable to give it away. I promoted an officer then bailed. However, still that does suck as its sort of a damned if you do, damned if you dont kinda deal. If you do you can get scammed. If you dont, then they could claim ur gonna scam them.

I guess you could report him to ANET, but all that would result in is another coupla wasted kb's of space on the net.

Dante the Warlord · Aug 04, 2008, 01:31 PM // 13:31

Well, if you know your guildmates well enough, get another guild, or better yet make them harass the guild leader until he leaves...

pamelf · Aug 04, 2008, 01:41 PM // 13:41

i'm sorry, but that's not scamming, that's idiocy. Nothing you can do i'm afraid except start a new guild.
