A.net possible scammers: Not a rave

Ok, I was thinking about the game, and I think that it's possible that a.net could be having employees scam players. To balance the economy, they have created gold sinks to take out the influx of gold from ebay. I don't think it would be too far fetched to say that they could have a few employees scamming players to take gold from people who have a large amount of it stored up. Some people with a large amount of money, may not be interested in gold sinks. Instead, they may desire a weapon. Well, scamming this player, while harsh, would take money from him, and remove it from circulation. Just some thoughts.

Hahaha ... this cracked me up. *sigh ... good stuff, good stuff.

that would be screwed up

Did I read this right? You think that ANet is having their -employees- scam people? I can't imagine it. Given their vehement opposition to scammers, I highly doubt they'd resort to those methods to remove gold from the economy. Heck...all they -really- have to do is literally take the gold away. They DO have access to everyone's characters.

True, I was just musing the idea.

Hey, I wouldn't say it's not possible....just not as probable as just taking the money away.

Well it would be more direct, but would automatically clue people into the idea of it. Scamming people would be indirect and players wouldn't have a clue that anet was behind the scenes doing it. Anet would be a sneaky bunch if this was all true haha.

thats the funnyest thing ive heard today, you have made my day

i highly doubt Anet would do such a thing... but then again you never know.. *dun dun dun*

Haha. I'm glad that I can take something odd and seamingly unfeasible, and back it up with common logic to make your day. At least, thats my outlook on it haha.

scams oly work on tards and people with hundreds of thousands of gold are not trads so they would not fix the problem

you really need stop play gw if you thinks arena employe scam the people ...

I never said I thought that. As the thread lists, not a rant. I have nothing against anet, and I don't believe that they're scamming people. It would be possible however, and I was just musing that thought.

The people with hundreds of thousands are the people that anet want to have less haha.

Want to hear something ironic?

Alright, here we go...

One day, after a nice time of farming, i notice that my storage is full... that day i suggested that my storage should have more space. Simple enough.

Next day, right after asking that, my storage was empty... all my items were gone... (More space)...

Words fail me. Wow.

Lol. Hey, you got your wish.

The only think I could really think of to reduce he amount of gold in the economy and give everyone a chance is probably a system which follows how we pay our income tax. Where merchants would charge players by their total gold. The more you have the more expensive the stuff are and the less you have the less expensive they are. Though that would probably another way to exploit poor people by having them buy the stuff cheap then sell to the rich guys. However that would also be their source of income... Hmm...

Nice idea. However, it may just give players another thing to complain about.

Well if its for the good of the economy why the heck not? Unless they really want to destroy it because of their selfishness...

I guess humans will always be humans...

I had no clue that was possible... people complain about everything, anymore and the world will actualy be thrown off its current path and into the sun... dont look at me science proves it, i just inform the people

kinda makes me feel bad for Anet, everyone always compaining and blaming them for everything..
