NinjaKai, that's just mean. Oh, well, at least the guy got some superiors out of the experience...



As for the threat of The Fox "stealing" his armor... that's just hilarious. Anet knows that no one would bother "stealing" someone's armor!

So I'm like fine... if that's true then give me your armor as collateral and you can pay me after the mission for the armor. He does so and then after the mission demands his armor or he'll report me for stealing it! In the end he later confessed to being a scammer, and said he didn't have the gold... I still have his armor! lol to bad there's not runes in them They're worthless other than the laugh I got out of watching him run around the town naked.
loli think i was in that group xD and recall pointing and laughing at him while he got pissed

this is one of the funniest things i have ever heard of. i have played GW enough to have probablly heard every possible story but this one takes the cake. i say sell the materials and give him half of the money you got for 'em. the money you kept would be money you didnt have to work for so anything is good. but yes very good job.

This guy learned a valuable lesson - runners are jerks who only want your money
Oh no, he didn't pay you a whole 1k! Let's take his armor worth at least several times that for a fair trade! How is he a scammer? You are not being scammed if he decided not to pay you for running because running is something you feel like doing. He isn't trying to switch gold and platinum or actually scamming.

It is scamming because the "runee" agreed to pay the money but didnt. If you dont want to pay the money then DONT AGREE TO PAY IN THE FIRST PLACE. Dont look for a run. Or look for a tip run or someone saying they are running for free.

call a taxi and get a ride where ever your destination is and refuse to pay.

arrested, tried,convicted of fraud.

taxi driver (runner) agrees to take you where you want to go to and fills his side of the deal.

you fail to pay for agreed services rendered therefore commiting the crime of fraud

wrong

If you have 15K Armor and Morgriffs Staff why do you need to be run through a Mission?? Shouldn't you be the one running the mission. Oh, I get it now you got ran to Droks, then to the 15K Armor and went back to do the Mission..

Its nice that you didn't report the guy to ANET and hopefully he has learned his lesson.
