Heres a good n00b story
Okay, heres a good story about a llama n00b, who shall remain nameless in hopes that one day he will in fact not be a n00b.
So, I am waiting for a guild member who is about to exit into post-searing Ascalon with my lvl 20 god-tank. While standing around doing nothing, the n00b randomly starts a trade with me. Perhaps you have had this happen to you before. I asked him to go away and to use the trade channel to sell his items. Instead of doing so, he put a 6-27 clean Chaos Axe into the trade window, asking U WANT???
Well, I did have a guy in my guild who would have benefited from the axe, so I asked him what the asking price was. He wanted... 100k. No joke. I told him that, quite frankly, his axe wasn't worth more than 500 gold. He then offered to sell me the axe for 50k. At this point I simply told him to go away. He then offered a clean blue eternal shield and 6.9k as well.
Yeah, he wanted to trade a crappy axe, a crappy shield, and 6.9k for 50k.
...
It gets worse.
Now utterly amazed that he was stupid enough to trade gold for gold, I offered him 1 gold, saying "heres my offer for ur crap". He closes the trade window immediately.
He accuses me of trying to scam him.
After a few minutes he comes back on and informs me that "UR SOOO IN TROUBLE DOOM LORD SCAMMER!!!". Apparently he sent a report to ArenaNet about it. He then spams "DOOM LORD IS A SCAMMER DO NOT TRADE!!!" for about five more minutes until someone asks what I supposedly scammed him on. He leaves the district rather than reply.
...
I'll stop there. By the way, if you're the ArenaNet guy who had to read his Email, you have my pity. If you want it, of course.
