EDIT - still not edited enough, you need to actually take his IGN out.

is he trying to use me as a middle man for some dodgy deal?

It seems they are trying to get you to get your 10 free z keys from gtob, then buy them for next to nothing. At least to me that what it appears. Anywho...this is the wrong section for this post....Q&A would be a better place.

It's a common scam that's ironically not against the EULA.

Basically, the Scammer looks for low-level, guildless, or otherwise inexperienced looking guys. He then suggests that you accompany him to the GToB (typically an empty district) to get your account registered for PvP. Then, he shows you how to use your free tournament reward points to get 10 zkeys and tells you they're worth 1k each and promptly offers to buy them for 10k.

The scam works in different ways. Some guys will say that the keys are only worth 500g/ea and that they'll buy them for 1k, or that they're work 1k, but they'll pay 2k. Either way, the Scammer ends up making about a 4-to-1 return.

Basically, it's an easy way to make stacks of zkeys/money off of noobs, and since it's not a forced scam, it's not against the EULA.

Someone posted in the "What's The Stupidest Thing You've Heard While Playing Guild Wars?" thread that they'd recieved a confirmation from the support team that a player was suspended for defrauding others. This was for trying to get someone's zkeys on the cheap.

Go to GToB (great temple of balthazar) and talk to High priest Zhang

Quote:

First time after the 19 February update
"On behalf of the Xunlai Guild and the Zaishen Order, I conducted an exhausting investigation into tournament agent Kun Shao's shoddy record keeping, but even with the wisdom of Balthazar I could not make sense of his ungodly mess. Therefore, I have closed the Xunlai Tournament House and have sent Kun Shao to work as a stable boy in the Zaishen Menagerie.

According to Kun Shao's records, you and basically every living thing in Tyria should receive 50 Tournament Reward Points. I don't know how that's even possible, but that's what the records say. Congratulations."

Then after receiving the 50 points go talk to Tolkano and exchange them for Z keys. 50points =10keys

Oh, it's very simple. Let me take you to the GToB and I'll help you get them. They're only worth 500g/ea, but I'll be glad to pay you 1k/ea for them.

You don't mind if we go to the Polish district, do you?

Armageddon · Sep 12, 2010, 01:21 AM // 01:21

anyway, I sent a support ticket, who knows, maybe he'll get banned
