    i asume 70% of female chars are guys in rl...scary isnt it? :P
    You can recongnize them most of time by their ugly chars and horrible fashion, which shows most likely *** and ****.

    At least my psychic and assassin don't look like that like some do b:shocked
    Anyway o.o another scam that happend to me

    Archer El***** in wc: LF Cleric bh69 winefee 30k <--censored :P
    me: Cleric here, need pyro
    -Joined squad-
    me: hi :)
    -rest of squad is quiet-
    me: oh its wined already
    Archer: yes, winefee 30k tho
    me: kk -paid-
    Archer: we start with pole and nob, cause i m not stacked
    me: ok need pyro only anyway
    Archer: yes we kill him after

    -kills nob all great-
    -kills pole, squad wiped cause barb dc, second try all good-
    -people start to leave the squad-

    me: o.o what about pyro
    Veno: we killed him already
    me: i said before i need pyro only and paid winefee, yet Archer said we do him after and you are all quiet?
    Veno: well...sorry...
    pm on Archer: >.> what about my boss
    Archer is offline
    me: Thank you, welcome ALL to my BL.
    LOL, they should said something like "this boss is dead" when you joined in.

    Prolly not the best scam but:

    -Me in west arch on my reindeer-

    Scammer: Would you like to sell that mount for 7m?
    Me: Yea
    Scammer: But please I have to try it first, I'll pay you I promise.
    Me: No sorry, I don't know you so I cannot trust you.
    Scammer: - links gear and some fash - I'll trade you those but please let me try it. I'll pay.
    Me: No >_> I'm sorry. Besides, the req lvl for the mount is 60 and you're not +60 -.-
    I know that person, he said the same thing to me...offering his crappy gear.

    Old scam of people advertising healing orbs as subs .

    People really should learn to read.
    My mother told me that I could be whatever I wanted to when I grew up; so I decided to become a *****.

    Sounds like the same guy that tried to scam me except when he didnt get his "test drive" on the mount he wanted to try on my fashion. Persistant little bugger.

    A potential scam; I haven't seen it yet.

    I used a Warsong Essence lvl 9. When I was "done" with it, it only had 1 exp left. It occurred to me people could sell it at full price even though it only has 1 exp left.

    Or I did something wrong; it was the first and only time I have used Warsong Essence.

    Ashamed but actually fell for that long long time ago...

    ______________________________________________________________

    Another scam is selling res scrolls instead of tournament helmet tickets.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Also I often encounter fake bidders.

    WC: WTS blablabla
    ME: $$$
    THEM: There's a bid for $$$ +
    ME: $$$ ++
    THEM: Someone bid $$$ +++

    - This continues for a while -

    ME: so who's the other bidder?
    THEM: %^&

    - %^& is offline

    ME: ok they can have it, bb.

    - A few mins later -
    THEM: So you want it for $$$ +...+ ? The other person dced.
    ME: Sure. For $$$

    Sold
    ___________________________________________________________

    Another scam happened to a friend not long ago. Those on my serv might know.

    Two people trade mount vs money. Then one of the individuals claims they got no money, even though transaction was successful, so he calls the other trader a scammer & continues to harrass them in wc/pm to get more $ for like a week threatening to get them banned, except that the player being accused is known by most of the serv as the nicest person ever. While the one who claimed he got no $ has been in a few shady wc transactions previously.
    Apparently a ticket to GMs for harrassment fixed that.

    __________________________________________________________________

    Another one happened to a friend.
    THEM: Hey can I try on your Scroll of Tome, I want to see how much faster my aps will be.
    - That guy is already wearing a Pan Gu tome... -

    I've had lazy scammers compared to you guys. Two scammers, two separate occasions. And these people had to be friends because they had the exact same tactic. It was something dull like this...


    RandoBM: nice fists (they were just lvl 4x manufactured fists with shards, nothing special or "nice")
    Me: get ur blacksmith skill up and u can make them
    RandoBM: give me fists and coin to make more weapons
    Me: haha yeah buddy that's not gonna happen
    RandoBM: you have money, gimme coin plz
    Me: ....no
    RandoBM: gimme coin now or i report you for hackz

    This has happened twice. The conversation the second time wasn't exactly the same...but very very similar. And they always threaten to report me for "hackz" which is really funny.

    I've also had people threaten me with all kinds of stuff when I'm playing my cleric if I don't res or buff them "NAO".

    People gotta learn that kinda stuff doesn't work on anyone with half a brain or an ounce of dignity.

    >_> People who give gifts because of "hot" pixels just kind of weird me out. Actually the whole hooking up with strangers in a game weirds me out.(Note that I said strangers. I'm well aware there have been people who have formed what they say are meaningful relationships with someone they met in game. Not that I know any of them.)

    I also consider people who join factions to get items to be scammers. Someone who asks to join and then immediately start asking for things or think they're intitled to be given whatever they want just because they're a 40+-ish Cleric/Barb or have an alt that is.

    Haha. That's what someone tried to do to get my panda from me. I wonder if it was the same guy.

    Sing it sister! I've noticed a lot of guys mistake this game for eHarmony. I have a cleric friend who added me to her list just because I was helpful without being a perv b:chuckle.

    Us guys probably don't realize the extra grief some of these lady characters have to go through. (Some of us probably also don't realize that lots of them are really fellas.)

    When I'm playing with my wife (real life marriage people) she tells me about all the pm's that come up from random guys hitting on her. She's turned down her fair share of "virtual dates" but I told her that when anyone gives her something, keep it or sell it. Don't feel bad, maybe it will teach them a lesson.

    And she's a cleric, so people flock to her, lol. It's funny to see guys throwing out their best "lines" and then seeing her laugh at them. If you women got together and formed a plan, you could probably rule pwi with an iron fist. I know lots of guys on here who would just bow down and obey. b:laugh

    :P we need only one to bow and obey, otherwise we would be like men.

    the rest can choke on my banana. tho its true. usually if guys know you are woman, you get almost sexual harassed. i had a friend (she was 14) and she told me when guys heard her age, they tried even harder..and it was usually men around of age 45+

    i doubt she lied to me, cause its defently not something to be proud off xD
    If i m trolling and spamming on forum...then i cant sleep and need a good laugh

    I notice some scammers tend to use similar name themes that give them away.

    The most memorable one for me:

    Me in WC: WTS Galactic Beetle PM offers
    remvoed: 27 mil
    -meet up-
    Me: Okies, send trade
    removed: Can I try it out first then I pay
    Me: Um, you're a BM, beetle is untamed only
    removed:I try it on alt barb, plz then I pay after
    Me:Sorry, but I'm not falling for that kind of scam
    removed:I no scam u let me try out I pay right after plz
    -Blacklisted-

    Then, of course, the next day, I try to sell it again:

    Me in WC: WTS Galactic Beetle PM offers
    removed:27 mil
    (thinking to myself) I bet this is the same scammer as yesterday, might as well see just for lulz
    -meet up in the same place as yesterday-
    Me: Okies, send trade
    removed: Can I try it out first then I pay
    Me: Your a Seeker, beetle is untamed only
    removed: I try it on alt barb, plz then I pay after
    Me: You really think I'd fall for this after your fail attempt yesterday?
    removed: I no scam u let me try out I pay right after plz
    Me: Just like you said to me yesterday, on your alt MasterOfPWI. Not gonna fall for it.
    removed: Master is my main this is alt
    Me: I rest my case, you idiot
    -Blacklisted-

    I like the ones who ask to borrow your mount or flyer to test it out before they get one. had one was pretty persistent though. after about 10 minutes i said sure you can test drive it, give me a 100mil deposit. never heard another word.

    I see borderline harassment constantly. It really makes you worry about the intelligence of the human race. I mean, these chicks are playing a game and still followed and stalked.

    But hey, as long as there are creepy dudes wondering about and pestering all the ladies, I'm gonna look like a perfect gentleman for just helping and saying hello, lol.

    There are guys here who realize it's just a game and not the hottest new night club. We're just hard to find through all the creeps.

    I once had someone tell me he would never FC with a veno, but we could "go make out in the snow". Terribly bright and helpful boy he was.-Sarcasm-

    But, yes, I've noticed some people have what I call Class Fetishes. Some will go running after any character with a tail, others have a thing for head-feathers. This is why I spend most of my at 78^ and avoid populated areas.

    Did anyone ever scammed a scammer? o.o

    Well, not in this game :P but my sister went up to someone who was 'doubling money' for free, with 100k test. The guy 'doubled' her 100k, gave her 200k. She said 'Thankyou!!' and logged off. I was sceptical it would work at first but hey, turns out it didn't break any rules at all! The funny part is when she logged in two seconds later and saw the guy QQing about being scammed. She said, 'But you DID double my money.. so no it was all legit thankies ^_^' and haven't heard from the guy since.
