Price Gouging.....
Re: Price Gouging.....
I'm only able to play this game in small windows due to work and travel, but I find it amusing that every time I am around there is a goodbye speech given by the same player. Deckard, you seem to require a lot of attention, and you're starting to come off as a bit of a drama queen. I've attended an auction or two in the past, and I seem to recall you bidding on many items, and the items you won going straight to your vendor at a grossly inflated price tag. So, it's hypocritical for you to be chastising others for doing the same. As Triel stated, if you'd like to buy someone else's goods, simply message them and negotiate. As far as your leaving the server, I think we've all seen this dramatic scene unfold many times and anticipate the same ending as every other time you've made this claim. See you next week, or next month

Re: Price Gouging.....
I think Lach's point is that it takes a lot of chutzpah to beg discounts on something you plan to arbitrage. "Price gouging" is the wrong phrase but, like price gouging, it's not a behavior of someone who others describe as decent and upstanding.
Re: Price Gouging.....
the real problem is that lachian attributed the "your price is too dam high"
to deckard being sneaky about it
without any evidence at all
simply because deckard may be the one profiting does not mean he had a hand in it's price being lowered
and to be blamed for the tactic of sneakily going around in an anonymous fashion to manipulate someone into lowering their price
would be pretty dam insulting
deckard has every right to be annoyed about this
and lachian has over stepped in where he lays blame

Re: Price Gouging.....
I don’t know why anyone even entertains Lachian anymore…other than the few “tools” that kiss his butt to get free stuff in game from him.
It’s pretty obvious why Lachian does and says the things he does. He has zero social skills and nothing going for him outside of this game other than he apparently made some money by buying bitcoin. He’s one of the most miserable and socially unaware people I’ve ever encountered. In game of course. He’s even admitted to having mental issues. Just ignore him. The more attention you give him the more he’ll think he’s better than you are because he can just donate more money and get EDs to buy in game what he can’t do in real life.
Just read his posts, enjoy the entertainment he provides, and think of how miserable this person must be in real life.

years ago i might have sent lach the same pm about that mask being overpriced but ive learned to keep opinions like that to myself unless it was for a friend i knew wouldnt be offended by my butting in. in my opinion that mask was worth maybe 3 million at the most only because it was bind on equip and not many survived unbound 11 years later. i was at that event and it was very well attended (and fun) so that account bind is the only thing that would make it a rare now. rares prices are always opinions though its not based on anything real. you made out like a bandit lach you have nothing to be angry about.
as for muolke i havnt seen him around in a long time i guess he got a discord message alerting him to a pot of shit that needed stirring

Re: Price Gouging.....
Can't we all... just get along?
This game can get boring enough without adding the tedium of fighting over a garage sale tactic that many, including myself have done. Virtue/Morality Signaling is boring and so last Tuesday.
I've never actually heard of anyone getting upset over free enterprise. I have grabbed items I felt I could get someone to pay more from someone else's vendor, and other people have bought things off my vendor, in the not-so-distant past for me to see it on their vendor for more. It's pretty normal. Focusing on 1 person makes it a personal attack.
As it stands, less fighting has been happening of late. Which is nice. So, this is just kind of silly. I say let the thread die.

It's @Bowmaster.
Just getting Geriatric, you're pretty cool, same with Tazlyn and Praise and I'm sure myriad others who've I've yet to met.
