I'd say treating people with respect and common decency is pretty serious business though. But I'll freely admit that is just my opinion.

I wouldn't scam anybody, what have you really gained when you've done?

Well, aside from proving you're an asshat.

I have never scammed anybody. However, I did use to get minipets cheap from people who were willing to sell for "less than the normal price". Mini yeti and naga for like 100k+50e back in the day, resold for +80 each.

No and you offend me by even implying that everyone scams but doesn't admit it.

Sparks Dawnbringer · Jul 08, 2008, 07:13 AM // 07:13

Nope! Never! It's much more fun to play the game than cheat other players.

Only sneaky trade I've ever done wasn't to benefit me. I snuck some money into a trade with a guildie that wouldn't knowingly accept it. Waited for him to need a mod I just happened to have and thinking he was just accepting the mod, he got the money too.

The only time I've ever refused to pay someone for something was Gate of Madness. I needed the bonus and was having some trouble alone, and some people were offering to just run it. I even asked if that included the bonus (standing there in my primeval armor). Guy told me to wait at the beginning, did the mission and then at the end discussed with his team if they wanted to do the bonus. They all said no or that they didn't need it. I said "20k says do the bonus." They skipped it and then the guy opens trade with me in the outpost. "20k?" he says, and I say "bonus?" "No," he tells me. So I put 20g in the box. He canceled trade. WTF did he think I needed?

This post was awesome.

Never. Had a couple of nice chances, though.

A long time ago, while buying my first sup vigor for 60k, I ended up trading some bones for that rune. Apparently the seller had more than 40k on him, and we didn't know about the 100k limit. Upon realising what happened, I promptly opened trade and offered the rune and he did the same with my bones. After dumping his gold into the storage and completing the trade, he said he thought I would log out and steal the rune. Lucky for him I'm not an idiot.

Also, when Nightfall came out and Elemental sword was THE sword to have a friend of mine got a req 9 one. Whispered me if I wanted to buy it for like 20k. Coming straight out of PvP he didn't know the thing had a value of 800k. Told him to put it up on GWG auctions. Eventually, he sold it for 850k.

I'll never see the point in scamming, stealing or even this "if they're not informed" hypocrisy.

Never scammed.

Never been scammed.

In game and in RL.

pumpkin pie · Jul 08, 2008, 02:31 PM // 14:31

I am the kind of person who cannot scammed people, even if I do, I'll probably return stuffs to them the next day with ectos and gold and a long apology, yeah, I would not put myself thru that. Its dishonorable.

So if you have scammed anyone at all, I think its time to make amends

one of you might have scammed me! by putting 500g in the trade box when you should be putting 5k

owned up now! I demand interests.

vandevere · Jul 08, 2008, 03:05 PM // 15:05

I've never scammed. I try to behave as well InGame as I do in RL...

GoodApollo1234 · Jul 08, 2008, 03:27 PM // 15:27

I've scammed by accident before. On a few occasions when buying things for say.... X.5k, I've unwittingly payed X.005k and they've unwittingly accepted. I've always corrected myself and payed the rest afterward though.

I've been ACCUSED of scamming by tons of newbies who don't realize that you have to click "submit offer" before the other person can see it.... Morons...

hurdlebeast · Jul 08, 2008, 05:27 PM // 17:27

i think the biggest difference between scamming on purpose and making a mistake is what you do afterwards. if you put in 1k and 5 gold for a 1.5k item (i've done that before) you should make every attempt to fix the problem. if you purposely put in 5k instead of 50k, then it's scamming. scamming's bad, mmk?

Around the time when Totem axes started to drop I was trying to sell a couple of those for a friend, the going price back then was 10k- 20k.

Anyways some guy offered me a "minipet" + 12k, the minipet happened to be a Kuunavang, I took it and never looked back, gave the 12k to my friend and kept the minipet (yes I never told him). >.>;;

Elia · Jul 08, 2008, 09:27 PM // 21:27

No I never scammed anyone.
