Locked Watch Crates Scam
There was a guy in town today who kept offering "Will open grand watch crates for 5k".
Now just a couple of points here:
1) It takes 15 plat to open a crate. If you take the 15 plat and use it to purchase gold, you can get 15k gold which is more than 5k. So even if this guy was being honest, he's an idiot.
2) If you assume he is being honest and will not cheat you, he will get any achievements from getting an arcane or mythic item, since he is the one who loots it.
3) There is no way for you to know what items come out of the crate since you can't watch him open it. So you can't really even know if he cheated you or not. He can just give you back two purples and a common shipmaster pink item and you won't know if that's what really came out of the crate
I pointed this out to everyone who was chatting with him, and he got angry and said he was just doing it to help people. I had a good laugh at that.
