Yeah, I know what that is, but my point is that the SS doesn't actually show anything. He could just be trying to run really fast for all we know.

Some of these posts I will treasure in my mind for a total of 15 minutes, to replace another treasured memory. Then I'll move on and forget about em.

that being said...LOL! And people fall for some of these scams?

Early factions when Mini Kunnavang was at it's hottest I saw two messages in KC.

WTS: Chkkr's Flatbow 15k!!!

(after it get's moved up because of trade spam)

WTT: Mini Kunnavang for Chkkr's Flatbow!

Not from the same person however. SO I'm think wth? How can someone so conviently be selling a Chkkr's Flatbow in the same district where one wants to trade a mini kunnavang for it while it's 100k + XXX ecots?

I add both of the people to my party list and sure enough, they're in the same Guild.

(For those of you who don't get it the person with the green wanted to make quick cash and used his buddy as a decoy who probably didn't even have the mini to do it.)

P.S. Actually I thought it was a pretty good scam.

Now what would be funny is if you possesed the item the second person was advertising for.

The ss just shows the guy requesting the person to drop the item, I believe.

I was once WTB ectos and shards, and some guy pmed and he told me he knew a way to duplicate my items, it required opening of the trade window and the use of a mesmer skill cant remember the name, but this exploit only worked once per account. So i told him i would duplicate some bones, and if it worked, i would double the other stuff on another account, he went crazy and wanted me to duplicate the ectos no matter what, after a few minutes of bashing me he gave up and moved on.

Saw someone saying: WTB all bronze daggers 100k+10e for r9's!

Noticed a pair on my mule earlier and 100k+10e is amazing for a pair of crappy bronze daggers so I pm'd him saying I could sell him a set..I get "No thx" back

Than I see someone else in the same guild as him saying:WTS Bronze daggers r9 80k

Team scam ftl?

Rushin Roulette · Dec 27, 2007, 08:36 PM // 20:36

Gahh, Ive finally fallen for a scam myself... damn.

WTB 16 Ectos 5K each

Sold them for 8K and 2 Okish weapons because his Inventory was "full".

Loss = about 52K (but only because one of the swords had a 30HP and a 20/20 Mod which I could sell at 10K each)

Lesson learnt... dont trade Tired... and never trade after the offer has been modified, no matter what, if someone wants to trade with me, they will have to restart trade if they want to change anything.

On the upside I wanted to sell and saw an amusing scammer whcih I didnt even need to think about to know it was a scam;

(just ignore my bad spelling, I know my chat texts are all full of typos

)
Needless to say he somehow didnt seem to want free 10K+15e

Lol, omg, you guys have some winners. Here's a spam message excerpt I saw in LA just yesterday:

"Please donate to me, my account was hacked and now I'm broke - trying to raise enough to get a Torm Sheild"

scam as far as cheating, no, scam as far as lieing, yes - or just plain flat out an idiot.

Falllikeleaves · Dec 27, 2007, 08:47 PM // 20:47

Well, im emberassed to say this, but when i first started out, a guy told me that he new an ele who could change low end weapons into high end ones, so i gave him like all my stuff basically... when he ran away i still didnt know what happened... ya... but that was like 2 years ago lol

Tender Wolf · Dec 27, 2007, 09:37 PM // 21:37

I hate when players repeat what they said 2 seconds before because you haven't replied. And wtf does "Most I Do" mean?

xromania™ · Dec 28, 2007, 02:15 AM // 02:15

u guys have fun here i see.. Ill copy paste here a real story where is nothing fun and u can see how bad are some ppl. Ill post screens soon i hope, cuz was just yesterday the scam. Sry my english.

im a old runner of Gate of madness, im running 4 guys for 6-8k each, is a long and hard run (40 mins) and they must pay after Shiro (last boss, Lich, is easy), after they agree with that at begin.

a guy from France didnt payed, he said he dont know english (a lie) and he have no money in inventory, and we all lost 1 hour and 30 minutes waiting for him to leave (CUZ I DONT FINISH with scammers). Really i dont saw in my life some like that, prolly only criminals have a so bad behavior.

prolly ill report him, but i know anet wont care. The others guys in party have reported him i think...

he lost connection and we killed fast Lich before he reconect lol... i think he didnt get the quest, right? he was at the end in party but "gray" and at a moment he disapeared (he wasnt online too). I gave back all the gold while waiting and all left without paying, who care anyway...

we cant post screens where are players name? but all in my screen agree with that and the name of a bad guy is good to pe posted
