its such a shame that people feel the need to buy "e" or "a" on ebay, it de-values the the item they are getting imo, i remember farming constantly UW and i felt so proud once id managed to farm 100e, i farmed dragon moss in the hope of a decent echovald sheild, Chos in the hope of a nice bladed and learnt my role in Fow SC in the hope of a decent obby edge lol and the only real piece of luck i ever had was the 20/20 staff..... but no matter what, even after spending all that time farming i would never think of buying the "e"/"a", because half the fun, is the chase of a item, knowing that u earnt it.
unfortuately all these people are doing is damaging the trade between people in GW, but i suppose that they dont care about that, they just want that elite status of being one of the top traders/ best collectors, again though, they may look like they are. But they dont have the knowledge gained through proper trading, learning the values etc which a TRUE collector/power trader has.
seeing this is one of the last places to come for PC and related info on gw i feel sad that the TRUE collectors now feel that these people have damaged the trade so much that they feel the need not to even post. ihope that soon the respected people, people who before, gave me valued advice helped me trade and learn whats what and what to aim for in my dreams, will again come back and start to educate the people who want to learn. And build up a new breed of collectors who can carry on their legacy, using the values that they built up.

Hmm. Much potential you posses. Learned well you have.

Many are called but few are chosen. The appreciation and chase of the item(s) is the driving force behind what collectors do.

When I began collecting I farmed 92 ectos from speedclearing, and invested them in some items to trade in order to generate more funds, and kept trading and reinvesting so I could compile my collections. We need more people with your approach

Your attitude is a pleasure to see, and it gives me hope that future generations will continue to spurn the ebayers who don't know a thing about what they are doing. I salute you.

Thank you .... i must admit most of what i learnt i have forgotten and ive been going through as many of the old posts i remember trying to re-learn as much as i can. Admittedly i was never in the league of the elite, but i helped where-ever i could, our alliance is rebuilding and recuiting and im hoping the leadership will instill the values that we held true. i for one will still haunt the PC forum and try and learn as much as i can again, so i can help out other people. Maybe then GWG will become the place to get accurate (as accurate as poss) honest and fair Price checks and advice.

Yes, thanks for that Surge. Are you trying to get me banned?
Quit drawing attention to it

Done.

But this idiot's name deserves to be published, as people like him are ruining the game's economy. I bet he's trying to scam his internet-purchased ectos back after another liar conned him into paying 400e for it because he's been doing this for a couple of weeks now, and everybody I spoke to about it has told already him its junk. It's just a shame that this website won't allow that.
