Indeed.
So has anyone ever been killed and then, before anyone is able to rez you, someone randomly uses a conset then rages at you for being dead? Then PMs you and tells you how you're horrible at life(but slurred)? Or... is it just me?

Wasn't there an old scam (or maybe it's still around, I don't know) that happened like this?
Player A wants to buy Weapon for 100k (Weapon is only worth ~25k)
Player B is selling Weapon for 50k
If you ask why Player B won't sell to Player A, they make up some sort of excuse like "They won't come to my district and I can't get to theirs so I'll just sell it to you and you can make the profit, IDC." and then when you go to sell it to Player A, they've both disappeared?
I've been sort of paranoid about that for years. :S

Now i'm paranoid. Great.
I remembered another crazy, craaazy experience that I had to go through. Some ele dude was asking why a warrior dude left his party in presearing. The warrior kept using emotes to communicate with me (apparently he was playing the demo) and the ele was still whining and starting to say he was in love with the random warrior. The war added me to his party, we got everything sorted out and I ported us to another outpost. I told him how to set the ele on ignore so he could't harrass him in PM. I sent the ele a PM telling him he was being creepy and desperate and I never heard from him again. *sigh*
There's hundreds of times I've seen something stupid in GW, too many to think about right now late at night when I still have homework to do.

Random stupidness for the day:
ME in trade: WTS Stack of ToTs [trick or treat bags] - 40k
HIM: 40k is really steep, I'll give you 30k
As he is whispering me I get 3 people send me messages to buy.
ME: Sorry, already sold for 40k. Good luck!
HIM: Well your buyer was a noob

Just another day in RA. A hammer war that kept attacking 80% of the time with a spear for adr. and kept using dev hammer when I used shield bash XD
Notice how it's not his/her fault and how much I talked so that I must shut up.
Elites are everywere.

You can even sell them at 50k , although it takes more than 2 minutes.
I remember a few years ago when I was selling an elemental sword. A guy pm'ed me and asked me if he could give me some cash and some other things (crappy things...) for that sword, and after I don't know how many "no thank you, I'll only accept gold" he told me that he NEEDED that sword to create his monk ...

Saw two people trying to raise the price of some item. Trying and failing, of course.
Player 1: WTS Droknar's sword 20k.
Player 2: WTB Droknar's sword 20k.
(this went on for 3 minutes, usually with their posts right next to each other's)
I finally PM'd player 2 and asked why he didn't buy from player 1. His response "I don't like him"

I don't know depending on what that person did I very well might not buy from them. Especially if I remember that guy as he tried to scam me in the past or something.
But really, if I really don't like someone do I want to support them and give them my money?

TBH I bought stacks of bags easily for 25K each. I should have tried 20K. I certainly would never pay 40K or more for a stack when they're so easy to acquire at the moment, so IMO I have to agree with the guy that your buyers were noob.

While not exactly bad, 55 monks are pretty mediocre.
