When I ever buy anything from someone I do not know. (Even Guildmates) I will simply take my sweet a$$ time about it. If the seller is trying to hurry me up, I just tell them I am working on it. I will read, double check, etc,etc....

If they close out the "deal" then so be it.

My Father taught me a valuble lesson years ago: "The World is FULL of deals"

Just like buying something in real life always be willing to walk away. This wakes up the salesperson. They then will realize that you are not some "n00b". (Even if they call you one) This is how I always purchase a car. It is amazing to me after the salesperson says they can't go any lower....all of a sudden they DO!

*yawns at the original poster*
Someone get scammed, let him/her whine, at least that makes him/her feels better. If you can't comfort a crying baby, don't touch him/her.

If one is going to use quotes from P.T. Barnum to NOT add anything of substance, rationality or MEANING to a topic, one should AT LEAST get the quote proper and correct.

As for the OP:

You WERE complaining about complainers. Your own words defy any argument against this.

Calling people idiots for being duped is complaining, any way you slice it. And yeah, this "unsaid heroic speech" of yours is a farce, it has been said, again, and again, and again, and again, and to no avail.

On here, there's a clone thread born every 9 minutes

I never got scammed but had been tried for saveral scam attempts. even w/ saveral trades including more than 100k gold. ALso that infamous gold for plat trick, I dont get it, are people really that much attention deficited that they can't see that distinction? IMHO, they deserve it, for being idiots.

Is everyone sure that anet doesn't give scammers at least a temporary ban? Someone tried to scam me on ecto's and I took a screenshot and sent it to anet. For the next few days the scammer was online constantly, after I sent the final piece of information to anet I never saw the scammer online again, and it's been a week...

Some may think this is harsh and/or a waste of my time since I didn't actually lose anything, but I figure if someone has nothing better to do than to go around trying to ruin everyone else's gaming experience I can take a few minutes to turn them in and maybe anet tracks the number of complaints for each person...

(wow that's a long sentence!)

A perfect quote to end this thread.
