Bots or Stupid People? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

I prefer an international district filled with annoying peddlers to one that's empty.
And let's not forget we're enjoying a no-monthly fee gaming environment while Asian players are paying monthly fees for playing GW.

Yes, perhaps they should be confined to their home districts, and English-speaking people should all be shipped back to England.

Maybe your appearance just screams "screw with me" because I spend a fair amount of time in Auguary and this never happens to me. The only place this happens to me is Ascalon in the lower numbered trade districts and occasionally in Lions Arch. The last time this happened it was in Piken Square and the guy put four GODLY purple war hammers in the trade window. He did happen to speak pretty damn fluent English as he tried to persuade me that you couldn't get much better hammers than these (you know that nice ram's head skin

). I told him I didn't need those GODLY hammers after which he begged me to run him to Droknar's. You tell me which is the idiot? The guy who irritates you but says nothing, or the guy who just won't shut up and leave you alone.

Stereotypes of any kind are usually a very bad thing. I hope you weren't opening this thread just to start an anti-Asian hate/flame thread because that is kind of what it looks like to me.

These are bots. If they say "What weapon do you want to buy?" and you say "Longbow" for example, he'll put in all his Unidentified (always unidentified, the only thing they sell) Longbows and says "25K" for example.

You can screw these guys though, got a full trade window full off required 7-9 weapon for 25K of one of those bots

This has nothing to do with race! I have nothing against Asians, or people of any other race for that matter.

I can understand your frustration. In these situations, both parties need to aim towards a simple transaction to yeild any positive result. In your case asking, "how much?" might have been too complicated. Perhaps opening a trade and making an offer could have started a negotiation.

I work in a world reknowned retail business in Miami. On a daily basis I deal with many people I cannot understand through language alone. I have no problem with people who don't speak my language approaching me to purchase our product. Because of this, we are able to form a buyer to seller relationship. My advantage, which can't be expressed in game, is body language and hand signals. If I told them to stay out of my "district" I would not have a job.

As an American, I welcome any and all walks of life. That is what made my country what it is today.

If you're being harassed by bots, send a screenie to support.. it really does work. I was gettin harassed constantly by bots advertising a cash for gold site, sent in a screenie, got a reply within an hour and haven't been bothered by em since

rugal nuker · Jan 07, 2006, 03:28 AM // 03:28

They are not bots,just that they are china or koreans' farmer.they also cant speak english well,so,some of them use broken english such as ''u buy?'' 15k ok?'' ...

I can understand why Ultimate Warriors original statement might come off a bit offensive, but I agree with him. Everyone is free to travel where they wish to go, foreign coutries and wherever. But engaging in foreign activities requires certain knowledge of their culture (or in Guild Wars' case, language and market behaviors). These foreign players are welcome to play in US districts, but if they wish to engage in a conversation with us and couldn't speak a dimes worth of english, they shouldn't expect us to understand them.

I had an experience with one of these foreign player, who couldn't seem to understand the phrase "no thank you, i'm not interested"... the player only knows how to speak "80k ok?" and "f*** yuo amaricans"...

augury international is a korean farmers market. the bots or players sell solo farmed items and then sell the virtual gold. the unidentified items there are tested so you get crap. there was a thread on this laready, and if i wasnt so lazy i would give you the link.
