Well I would not consider it a "scam" since he just named a price, it was up to you to accept it or not

I mean, I was selling a Tarnok's Longbow (you know how ugly and mostly useless that is, right?) and I just said to the guy: offer plz.
He offered 15k (lol uber overpriced) and I said ok^^ That's a trade, not a scam

Yesterday, went to great temple to sell a zaishen key for 2.5k. Some guy offered to buy, and twice the idiot cancelled the trade window when the offers were up, accusing me of doing it. So the third time i was rushing and didn't even check trade, 250g.. gg.

I couldn't care less tbh - the joke is on him. If he needs to scam over a 2.5k trade, he really must be struggling for cash. Poor guy.

They're only good for the Moa Chick mini you can get if you have GW:EN and all three expansions. You can get an unlimited number of them by doing a weird repeatable quest in Kourna.

Were you trying to say Dan is a sad lowlife or the guy who scammed him? Dan wasn't scamming, he was selling a key at a decent price. Sorry, the "I feel you sad to scam" is throwing me. I understand many guru users don't speak English as their first language, but grammatically that sentence isn't very clear...

Yes, but the difference is that the guy you were selling to offered to pay more than it was worth, you didn't just flat out lie hoping that he was a noob. He was just hoping that since mini pig is gold I would believe that it was worth 20+k

That sucks man I actually fell for it a while back too. =(

Funniest scam attempt for me was someone whispering me saying their friend had a voltaic spear. Give him the money and he'd go get his friend to give me the spear. That master plan probably took him 5 seconds to think of....

DreamingGirl · Dec 31, 2007, 09:55 AM // 09:55

This wasn't exactly a scam, just made me roll my eyes

This guy in pre-ascalon announces he's selling storage bags for 250 gold.
I head over, thinking it might be charr-bags. Turns out it's just normal belt pouches. I (and several others that noticed this) point out to him that those can be easily obtained right outside town by killing a few scale.
He says 'yea but some people are too slack to do that and just want the bag'
Well if they're THAT slack they won't have 250 gold either...

Why even bother? got a feeling he was hoping someone would mistake it for a charr-bag and buy it anyway.

The funniest that ever happened to me was:
A guy advertised a req10 ele sword for 150k in kamadan (that time it was worth ~300k), I told him that I wanna buy it. So I opened trade, he put in the sword, and I put in 100k+10e. Then he said: no 100k+10e, 150k. I told him I cant put in 150k in the trade window. For like 10 minutes I tried to make him understand I cant put in 150k at once, after that ~10mins he said that I give him 100k first, then 50k and he gives me the sword after the second trade. I said lol no, he called me a f*ckin noob and stuff like that.
/epic fail
I wasted 15 mins of my life.

Yah i have a few close friends that play this. ohhh boy do they love to scam. im not talking about just a little money, i've seen them scam like 40k and nothing on there part. here is one of there scams (hopefully they dont catch me writting on here

) anyway, they go to ascalon or w/e city and say "Anyone want to double your money? 1k--pay after im done." So he takes them outside and tells them to die. (before that he does some random b.s. ) then he uses unyeilding aura or w/e it is and sends them far away to drop all there money. they drop and he takes of spell. and thats how he gets all there money. haha i laughed when i first saw it but felt kinda sorry for the guy :P
oh well just be aware of the scam guys, and if u see it tell him that aa ace runner says hi.

genofreek · Jan 01, 2008, 10:14 PM // 22:14

There's been an awful lot of "ALT+F4 gets you all your presents at once!" since they started dropping... some people. >_>

And Runner, your friends aren't the only ones doing that scam. It's an old one. :P Thanks for the heads-up, though.

atleast you didnt fell for it. i did. back in the day when 100k really meant something. i mean BACK in the day no chests. no inscriptions, just good ol' prophecies. a guy was selling a Req8 Crystalline sword 15^50 WOOT for 500k, so i checked it out (Come on 500k for a beauty like that!) i had actually 550k. So i said to myself i can do it! I looked at the sword and it was real, then he said to pay him 500k not with ectos. first i said no. then he left because he said he has another buyer in ascalon. SO i thought of it, he SEEMED hones....
I went and told him ill buy it. he said i need to give him 200k then hell give me the sword and continue with the 300k... Just to make it fair...so i gave him 100k..then another 100k..then he said hell give me the sword after the 3rd 100k thinking that i have no choice since i gave him 200k alrdy..i gave him another 100k. he then put the sword...then cancelled the thread and ignore me. I quit GW for a month cause i was so MADDD! I know its my fault but man people could be soo ruthless.... I reported him but nothing came out of it. Im happy to say that im "financially" stable again.

Guild wars / Anet for promoting EOTN as a full fledge addition and charging full price for it.

CyberMesh0 · Jan 02, 2008, 04:16 AM // 04:16

Define full price. $50 would have been over the top, and by definition was full price for the other three games.

Anet did not promote it as a "full fledge addition", they billed it as the 1st expansion. They were crystal clear EotN was NOT a full campaign, nor did they charge the same price as the 3 campaigns which would be "full price". It was less expensive....so not full price.

EDIT TO ADD:

*Sniff sniff* yup Ninjakai, I do smell something decidedly flame like....
