Lay off Lone, pls
Why so mean to thelonearcher???
Picking on him is a juvenile exercise in being hateful.
So what if Lone bought gold?
He's a great player- an asset to the game and the forum.
I have like 62K only.
I don't care about gold much- except needing five million for a guildlol lol

wait...5 million for a guild????
That would be unfortunate.
People laugh at lonearcher because of his foolish decision to purchase gold lol we all have money IRL and if your spending a grand on in game gold you have issues no matter how much you have i mean im sure a good amount of us could drop 20-30k of real money on gold or items in many different games but we dont because were smart people. just sayin smart people make smart decisions, foolish people make foolish decisions and the world keeps spinning.

Thank you for your solid insight. You have clarified things for foolish and smart people everywhere.
For the record I was not laughing at anyone. I was merely stating that the idea of "smart spending" is entirely relative. No matter how much people try to fit other's actions into their own world-view, it's no more true, than clarifying that chocolate is better than vanilla ice cream. And that one's easy.

No, not really.
agreed....your the richiest "mofo" how do u feel? need a cookie :P.
Guys, cool it this is a FRIENDLY forum a place to make more friends NOT enemies so....cool it.
Wait ... so your plan for generating gold is to scam helpless newbies? And then you enjoy watching them realize that you scammed them?
Please tell me that I misunderstood something in your post....

shameless bump! (updated my pic hehe)
i dont accept scamming, i mean intentionally scamming. theres a difference. like the other day a guy wanted a swamp purple of me, i said got money to buy it? it was like 4k, he said no, and said he wanted to trade something, he put a mamboza robe in trade box..then said how about this? i never planned to scam him, if he doesnt understand the game mechanics then im not the one whos gonna teach him, i said ok and traded
i never planned on scamming, but it happens, if im a bad person for this then fair enough lol, its just an example
if someone stays in towne to scam someone, and thats their only reason then thats a bad thought process

I think you guys need to differentiate between "playing" the market (inflating prices etc.) and scamming... meaning removing items from trade or switching them etc. Those are two totally different things... at least i think so. So don't interchange scamming and trading smart... If I can get a "sucker" to pay for something I'll do it. Its part of the learning process. People try to get me to sell my pinks for 1-2k to them all the time... lol I just do a 180 on that
If they have no knowledge of the market or the value of items because they're new, then it is a problem...
I seem to have generated some heat with my previous comment about "scamming" so I'd like to be precise. I don't want to offend or accuse anyone unintentionally.
I was responding to this quote:
If I understand this post correctly, the poster is saying that he/she deliberately seeks out "noobs" to overcharge them for Swamp pinks. This behavior is very different from accepting an offer which just happens to be over the "usual" value. Seeking out newbies to overcharge is scamming, and I'll stick by that accusation. Simply allowing a newbie to overpay you is not scamming, especially if the newbie initiated the transaction.
That said, I think it would be nice to correct a newbie who wants to overpay you by some ludicrous amount. ("Wow, Swampy Trident of the Bear looks cool! 30k for it!!") You'd be a newbie-helper and win a virtual prize for being willing to walk away from a potential windfall. But it wouldn't make you a scammer if you simply accepted the gold. Nobody has an obligation to prevent newbies from making newbie mistakes. Does that seem reasonable?

TBH. I wouldn't call overcharging noobs scamming.
If the person was smart, he or she would at least take the time and scout the market to get a fair idea of what prices are.
However, if they simply jumped in and flailed around money, then maybe a good lesson isn't so bad after all.

Idk.
I agree w Advance that newbies should be smart enough to look at current prices. We live in an Ebay world after all
But, for me, I think that I try to be helpful. Gold isn't worth maybe making a new player feel badly about PL because some upstanding senior member sold him/her a $5K pink for $30K. It's a playing community that everyone benefits from... I mean, yes, the newbie should have a brain, BUT senior members represent the game at its best, right?

Seeking out newbies to overcharge isn't scamming, but it shows a persons ethics and morals.
However, I do know the newb overcharging backfired on tj at least once. He over paid for a mojo wand to try to overcharge a newb, but he got stuck with the wand instead and spent 30 mins begging for a refund lol. He was even willing to take 5k less back on the refund lol.
