I was just wondering is the crazy stone scam an the healing orb in place of ultimate subs both bannable offenses? Im looking at the rules of conduct and it dosent say anything about being able to get banned by takeing money from stupid people. Also alot of in game players tell me it is bannable but some tell me its not. (I dont know if they are telling me its bannable that way i dont do it)

Plz reply

    It's mean. It's rotten. And if you're on Heaven's Tear, it'll get you constantly trolled by me...but it ain't bannable.

    Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...

    It is not bannable, although it is frown upon, but, since the game does display the correct amounts and names on the items themselves, and on the total line, if someone chooses to pay extra for one of the gems, or to pay that much for healing powders, it is the buyers fault.

    The only way they can "fall" for those scams is if they are not paying attention.

    I was just wondering because my frined is a lvl 85 bm and his parents dont let him put any money on his account and hes not allowed to play more then 3 hours a day. So people allways tell him go get a life or go grind like everyone else. Well the truth is he CANT. He was rejected from a clan because his gear sucked.

    Any clan that does that is not worth to be in, so hopefuly your friend will be able to find a better one.

    Yeah its rotten and its mean. it IS basically a scam.
    But the hard thing on PW is that those catshops, some have the real things mixed in if they title their catshops with it, others dont use title and make pple assume. By using the loopholes in a rule, they are, basically doing 'nothing wrong' and their is no false advertisement on their behalf.
    The loopholes in the rule makes it boil down to the fact that the buyer must double check what they buy (at least I hope most pple normally do)

    PWI does not have a better business bureau. Buyers should get in the habit of checking the price and description for every item they are buying. It is unfortunate that many items in the game have the same icon.

    If you see a shop that is specifically announcing a certain item but sellng a different one with the same icon, please report it. Not all of this can be considered a scam but we can always look into it. Providing us with a screenshot will help too. b:victory

    O_o I guess there is a PWI Better Business Bureau. You just made that post to make me look stupid didn't you spoons?

    In any case it doesn't hurt to be vigilant and check anyway :)

    Gear can be improved. Players generally cannot. Any guild which rejects people based on their gear is going to have a higher proportion of rich but incompetent players. Your friend was lucky to avoid them.

    Find a guild which seeks out good players, then works to outfit them in the best gear possible.

    so are you saying you're going to advise this friend of yours to sell healing orbs for ult sub price because he can't play enough to make money?

    sell whatever you want at whatever price, but if you mark "ult sub 65k", have no ult sub to sell but only healing orbs for 65k, i'd be cautious about that. hundreds of people can go by a cat shop daily and that would **** up their impression of your friend.

    but that aside, ult subs are easy to collect anyways. find this guy a good route, and in an hour he could have at least 2 ult subs worth of mats to sell. (if you sell them individually instead of as ult subs, you could get more coin that way, seeing as people need it for wine as well) village of naught may be crowded, but the area around black mountain works well.

    I wonder if you can really make more money running a scam shop than running a legit shop? Is he making at least 250k per day in profit? If so, then I guess crime (or at least un-ethical behaviour) does pay.
