I cleared friends list once it gets over 200 friends just to make sure that my list is updated and efficient. Re-add me!

I'm not one of the typical merchants that will sit in town buying and selling all day. Instead, I like to control supply/demand or merchant during times of economic turmoil.

I trust forum merchers less. Because with randoms they know its harder to make a deal with no cred and they can be more coopertive. My opinion

How do you define "Forums rep" btw, I have 7 bar thingies here, but if I asked to hold an arcane ring/kersh/50mil/etc.. I'm assuming my forum bars wouldn't be the deciding factor in how much you can trust me....

Just cause your "loud" on the forums doesn't mean you can be trusted.

When it comes to the AL forums it's just different than others including other Spacetime games and other developers forums. People here just are different I don't know how to explain it.

Al forums for some reason causes some people's egos to inflate to gargantuan sizes if you ask me....

Yes and all of the other fourms I've ever been a member in I have never seen some many actually helpful post ignored and troll post thanked. To me it makes no sense.

I mean a new account. Not bars under your name. I mean, if you have a sig with your Ign on it this post has nothing to do with u.

My answer to the OP, is that I don't trust merches, ever.

Hey guys! I have cleaned up this thread. Let's make sure that we aren't calling out any forum users or players by name, okay?

Let's keep it friendly.

**Gensin** · 09-10-2014, 11:55 PM

I do this, But I dont plat farm.

I pvp so much, and I cant deny the fact that my name is soiled in pvp, cause I kill alot of people in twink levels.
So I have figured to make alts, Alts that will sell items in auct for me and will trade for others.

Personally I would be highly suspicious of any unknown selling multiple arcanes. It took me well over a year of monthly opening to even get a single one. For brand new players to have a stack of them is just not possible if they're playing honestly.

If they are not new, just hiding their identity, that is fishy at best. Someone hiding who they are and also stacked with arcanes? I'd steer well clear unless they were someone known in game. It's either a plat farmer or a scammer. More likely the first, since there just aren't that many scammable people with arcanes.

People with a forum rep are much more likely to get my business. At least I have the ability to look up their posts and see a bit of their history. Usually if I don't know a forumite personally, someone I know does, and I can find out if they are for real or not.

As for merchers, I buy and sell stuff through them to save time. I don't have the patience to stand in pier all day and getting "LOL" at my prices and/or my offers.

Off topic but, did you get your username from Naruto?
