Perhabs he has gotten all his stuff from a real life friend who quit. Or like others say, he just gotten it himself. If you know what to spend your money on and what not, you can get all that stuff in 460 hours. Or he won a contest perhabs? I did not have any tormented weapon, I entered a contest hosted by [DL] and I won the second prize, and the next day I had 15 tormented weapons. People can get lucky. And its not too hard to find PvX wiki after 460 hours. I would't look too much behind it. Things are hardly ever the way they seem.

His suspicious behaviour confirms quite clearly that he's hurting the GW economy, an indirect if not direct cause of your own poverty. And I bet he has a big nose and a great lust for money too. Those people should be interned in camps IMO.

Lots of people on here will boast that they can farm 100k in two minutes but it's plain rubbish. Hence the 'its so easy to get obby armour and 10 BDS's and have 2 million in the bank in that time' comments. One of my favourite boasts I hear is 'I normally get 3-4 ecto drop just clearing the chamber.' |

But the more I play with him, the more suspicious he seems to me. 446 hours played, he said today. 446 hours, over 16 moths, and yet he already walks around in Obsidian armor with Chaos gloves and Blindfold, has a full HoM weapons monument including 4 tormented weapons, a Zaishen monument displayed in HoM, a ton of miniatures... He also doesn't seem to be much of an experienced player. While he does fly around the place with a discord hero team, so it's conceivable that he's done much himself. But he only finished Factions and Nightfall this month (so, no DoA farming to explain those tormented weapons). He blindly buys every elite tome I sell him at 2k/tome (I sell them cheap since he's a co-player and I can complete the transaction in like 5 minutes) in spite of claiming he's not a PvP player (how would he unlock the skills then?). He's already buying sapphires and amber for more armour suits. I mean, I know I'm no farmer, but I'm seriously beginning to think that 446 hours is a wee bit little to be THAT rich. I mean, it BROKE me to get that Zaishen a while ago, I had to sell every valuable material I had. I know I stretch my efforts across too many chars, got 10 triple protectors. But, really,I think this is suspicious. Of course, I suspect RMT or something, and if he's willing to risk it, his problem. But I dare not make him a gift, and even worry of my discounts! Am I paranoid, and could he have been that efficient? Or had that generous guildies (hell, my guildies could be, I gave money and mats for atheir first elite armors to several and all, and I give away my spare minis and mats and all to them)? Any thoughts? |
