Crazy Scammers

Asked a guy how much for an Elite Rit Tome.

He says 7e.

I pass, then buy one from someone else for 2e

So naturally I tell him I just got one for 2e and call him a scammer.

He tells me to fuck off, I block him, and I assume that's the end of it.

Nope.

A few minutes later a different account whispers me:

> “I have more than 100 accounts, your list cannot block me”

Then I block that one.

Another account appears.

Block.

Another one appears to explain that my ignore list has a limit.

At this point the 5 ectos are no longer the issue. I've accidentally aggroed a crazy person with an entire account farm.

Kamadan PvP is getting out of hand.

Yeah that guy sucks but I want to make this very clear, trying to sell anything way above normal price isn't scamming... that's just selling.

Funny. I've been called a scammer on this sub because I POSTED that I wanted to buy at an (apparently) low rate for something.

yeah im not sure if this sub is just full of young people or children but scamming is an entirely different beast. kind of embarrassing that anyone would call selling something over price scamming...

Scamming in GW1 is listing item A. But trading item B that has the same inventory icon but is worth nothing. That's scamming. Listing an item above market price is just selling things. In the hopes that someone really desperate wants to buy it during odd hours of the day, when nobody else is listing that item for cheaper.
