    In theory I could intentionally sell you something for 5k and wait until you list it then claim you scammed me. All evidence will point to you.

He shouldn't have even brought it onto the forums TBH, it was handled it game with a 10 minute flaming session and them leaving. That's all it had to be.
    SO first you try get me framed in game? Now you try ban me? who do you think you are? From now on, all biast posts like this will not be acknowledged.

    But it all seems so petty to be fighting about 10K. Who needs 10K. I'll give it gladly to end this. lol

    And final comment, read my posts, I was the first to say this shouldn't be brought up on the forums. It was handled in game, Beanz just wants a little comforting because he feels bad about it, that's why he posted this. And you guys agreeing with him are making him think it's okay to rip people off.
    Hey bub, I wasn't refering to your idle ramblings. I was refering to the situation in general.

    Personally, I was greatly taken advantage of a couple of times when I was a noob. Probably to the tune of several hundred thousand gold...

    I WAS NOT SCAMMED, AND I GOT OVER IT. There's a WORLD of difference between making a bad trade and genuinely getting ripped off. Learn it.

    When I was young, there was a very politically incorrect phrase that described people who try to back out of trades after the fact and, generally, those kids tended to get beaten up a lot on the playground. Now those kids RULE the forums because they can cry the loudest and there's little chance they're gonna get sucker-punched while coming down the swirly-slide.

    The internet has turned us all into a bunch of wussies.

    I don't try to make bad trades, and I don't deal with people who do. But if someone is preying on the ignorance of others to make a genuine PROFIT, and not violating the TOS, then exactly what do you, xRaNdU, propose is to be done?

    We already covered this, there's no practical way for it to be done.

    Okie guys, this thread is much more peaceful after I ignore XranduX.
    In conclusion, I need these items on my twink, I swear Im going to use them. If you think about it, the overpriced items is 300k in cs and nobody is buying it. A friend told me before they were 90k
    SO bah prices change, im still happy, and whatever Ill just ignore those jerks who believe lies from their friends.

    /happy rant over

    Well I thought we had agreed that it was ethically questionable but impossible to enforce in the current frame of the game.

    I don't think it requires a rulebook to know what is fair. Just use the golden rule.

    ...true, but also one ought to take responsibility for one's own actions, instead of blaming others for the undesirable consequences of choices made.

    Sorry for the mini - preach, but I've had a gutful lately (not really here in particular) of people blaming everyone else for whatever is wrong. Peace.

    I still wish I hadn't liquidated that snowball launcher pink when I was a noob. I couldn't use it...didn't know better. D'oh!

    Hey greyhorse, I remember in the halloween map, I looted loads of greens and purples. I thought they were worth less so I only kept the pinks lol...I could have sold the purps and greenies for more than the liquidation price
