Now I like to think that im a very reputable character ingame and usually never find myself in a situation such as this. Is there anything I can do protect my image when people are intent on making me look like a 'lowballing b#*$@ scammer' lol

Hating drama.

Edit: sorry about the lack of clarity in the pics but you get the idea.

Desperate seller, I bet you hes been selling that slag for like 1 years now, heh.

SRSLY just 100k less..

In the market rich people even ask for 70m for a shard.

If everyone keeps posting their personal experiences with a certain Dbag ingame we'd have a 100 new threads here each day

Thats 1 person not an epidemic there's really no reason to post this here just move on with your life and stop worrying about 1 single person.

Edit: Anyone standing there could also notice that person is not well..

I appreciate the logic behind your post and its not a case of it actually bothering me... the thing is I spend a lot of time merching and this guys slanderous behaviour could have a negative impact on my ability to carry out trades with others. Idc about this guy one bit just wondering if anyone has an actual suggestion to deal with people such as this other than 'report, ignore'

Fact is that the only people you want to trade with are people who are within the "sane" level, i promise you that absolutely no one with a properly functioning brain would listen to anything this person has to say

That is why whatever he may say will not effect your good reputation, I know very well which people i should listen to and which people i should practically ignore, if he lashed out on you the way he did for that 1.1 offer on slag i assure you, you are not the first to witness his "touchy-ness"

@Boltmage,

as you've said, you are a player with good reputation, therefore what he says doesn't matter

also, please censor out the cursing in the chats...and then send a report to support (with screenshots that did not censor the words)

I almost never buy anything for auction price.....
Does that make me a lowballer?

But what it really means is that typically anything i buy can be later resold for at least the same as i paid if not more.
I call that smart trading not lowballing.

It always amazes me when people try to sell items outside of auction....for the same price or more than that item is listed in auction.
If i wanted to pay auction price i would go buy it from auction and i would not be standing here negotiating with YOU!!!!!!!

P.S. buying samael 10m pm me ....ROFL

Everyone's so worried about their image and all.. And take things that ppl say to heart.. All you had to do was block him if he obviously didn't want to sell it..

Your image is a very very big outcome in AL, If you ganged him, he will not buy or sell from you.

Like in the forums, If your reputation is very low, less people will likey listen and trust you.

I meant it more like "If you know yourself, don't worry what ppl say" so if he knows he's not a low baller, why care that someone called you that. It's the same as real life, of someone calls you names and you know they're just trying to insult you.. Why care ?

Ok well you have nothing to worry about. I'll tell you guys a story. I went to paradise pier and someone wanted my Big Love (its a banner) he offered me and I said I can't tell him. Later on he made offers and then I told him it wasn't tradable. He said in public chat that I was trying to scam him. Everyone knows that if someone says that in public chat, they are lying. I told him that he wasn't telling the truth. Someone actually messaged me and said Elner scammed you right? I don't think I was supposed to get that.

lol i fell u. That happened to me when i was buying a myth ring i just offered 100k less and he/she called me noob and lowballer :p when ppl tell me that i tell them that im a proud noob :p

People like to throw around the word lowball, but most don't even understand the fine line between a fair offer and a blatant lowball.

What you were proposing was a fair offer, 100k less than auction for a mythic item is not unheard of dealing with someone outside of auction.

Now, if you had asked to buy it for 500k that's a lowball plain and simple seeing as how that's around half of the lowest listing price in the auction.

That dude is clearly a nub merc who has no idea how to sell something outside of auction house, learn to tell the difference.

Well we don't get rich by spending gold that's for sure! 1.1m was a fair offer IMO. When people start calling you names, sometimes it's just to agitate you and the only way to prove you're not a low baller is by giving into their price of 1.2m. Pro merchers would have just said meet half way at 1.15 as a counter and go from there. Never lose your cool in deals and make it personal, it's just business.
