One of the most rude in-game daily occurences

I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way, but to me, it seems extremely rude when someone doesn't answer you in-game if you offer a price for something they're advertising.

First of all, why say "wts blah blah blah of blah blah , pst w/ offer" and not just come out and tell everyone what you're hoping to get from it? And, if you don't know what it's worth, just ask for a price check..

Secondly, When you whisper one of these people, and you don't get a response...I don't know what it is about that, but it just really irks me. It's extremely rude. What's worse, is when you re-submit your offer, they usually just get pissed off, like you're offending them by offering them a price for something they're not willing to give their "yeah it's totally worth 5,000,000 gold" pricing for.

Anyone else feel like people couldn't be more rude in this game?

People couldn't be more rude.
Because I'm a moron, I usually think if they don't answer that my message just got lost in the constant spam. But yeah, if you make the error of messaging them again and they just lose it, I mean, what's the point.
On its good days, humanity's a blessing to the universe, too bad it's mostly hung over all the time.

Most times I just ignore those WTS's. However, the odd time I have answered I just outright ask what they want. I don't have time for playing bidding games just tell me your price and I'll pay it or not. As a matter of rule I always include my asking price whenever selling and I think all WTS's should as well.

Its a common trick to fool the uneducated out of their gold. When a person asks for offers and doesn't respond to PM's it means your offer didn't meet their price. The only time they will reply is when you offer more then they are wanting and then they will come back with a counter offer asking for more. Its a simple trick that fools simple people..NEVER offer, if they don't offer a price just leave them be.

First, why don't you check the price also, the seller has the item, you have the gold, why should he give you a price? He doesnt need to sell it anymore than you want to buy it. "just come out and tell how much you paying for it"

Second, if you offer well below the price that the seller feels that the items worth, he will not reply. That's not rude, try up your offer. again, nr=nty

They want to get as much gold they can, it's greed, yet yes it's very rude.

Even I use this trick sadly, mainly because an ebay dude bought my Rago's Wand which I had no use for, for 85k when they were only 45k...

I have to disagree.

The seller is sitting on his behind in front of a computer screen
playing a game. He's not Donald Trump with a net worth in the
billions making million dollar financial deals.

If the seller asks for offers and recieves them, failing to even
acknowledge that he even recieved the offer is rude as hell.

Supaet, would you prefer that if you walk into a supermarket, and there were NO signs showing the price of the things you wanted to buy? Would you prefer to walk up to the owner of the shop and say: "I'll give you xxx for this".???

My favorite exchange, repeated so many times I no longer make offers...

Me: WTB Req 8 15^50 sword, any skin.
Trader: I have
*self invites to your group*
*opens trade and shows a req 8 15^50 gladius*
Me: how much?
Trader: offer
Me: 5k seems a fair price
Trader: stupid noob
*close trade*
*leave group*

These guys really anger me when they have no clue what their items are actually worth. What really angers me is there are probably players out there paying 30k for a gladius.

-Phantom.

People just do this so they can either of these:

A. Get rich of a item that isnt worth crap.

B. Make it harder for people who are not the greatest farmers.

C. Just want to be a pain in the arse.

D. Or all the above.

It's equally as rude when I DO reply to people who respond to my WTS, and for whatever reason they change their mind and can't be bothered to offer a simple "no ty"...

It really aggrivates me that people aren't willing to try and haggle... I'm obviously not going to offer a low price immediately, but if you're willing to bargain with me I will go lower. But instead people just assume no one will bargain and proceed to ignore you if your price isn't 50k lower than what they would have offered.

Pve! Weapons! Money! Tragedy!

I find hagglers aggravating, set a fair price and be done with it. Anything else is just trying to scam the unaware of their money. There is enough of that sad practice in the real world, don't take it to a game. 'nuff said.

It annoys me not when people ignore you but get angry/insulting because of your offer.

For instance I was trying to buy an Icebreaker. For what it is, an easily reached green spot and a non popular mod for a non popular weapon I wasn't expecting it to be worth that much (didn't check a price check forum before hand.)

So:

Me: WTB IceBreaker
seller: I have.
Me: How much?
seller: Offer.
Me: 5k?
(seemed fair enough)
seller: rofl, fu noob
Me: 10k then?
seller: no reply.

Later find out that it goes for 10-15k so I was fine with him rejecting my offer, but the refusal to bargin bugged me a lot. So then I went and (probably) got ripped off paying 25k for a req8 15>50% Jade Maul because I really don't care about money and needed a hammer to put elemental mods on and mr icebreaker lost out.

That sort of thing has happened so many times before for various items, and its so stupid because normally I have plenty of money to pay whatever ridiculous price they have in mind if they'd let me, plus getting insulted isn't always fun.

It's just plain rude to call ppl effing noobs for every single thing they do that doesn't please you. Not everyone is up to date on current prices, and furthermore, those morons calling others noobs are probably overcharging monstrously anyway.
IT'S A GAME PPL!!! play nice or go away.

The best was when I was in Kanig the other day and some guy was

"WTS Ogre Slaying Knife 100k+25 ecto"

Now- for anyone who doesnt know- the ogre slaying knife is a joke weapon, and I dont think its even useful for killing ogres (read: ettins). But seeing a guy trying to sell it for that kind of price- I knew I had to counter it. I have one in my box, so I started spamming "wts ogre slaying knife 100k +10 ectos"

the funny part was the other guy didnt even flinch- he just kept tryin to sell it for 100+25e. I spent about 5 minutes counter-spamming but then decided to go farm devourers outside ascalon since it was way more productive... :P

People who don't have the guts to name a price get no time from me.

Ok that's not something I would do at least, just to clear that up from the post above, I'd never criticise anyone about their offer, and I would at least hint them on the price I want without shocking them yoo much .

1) They didnt notice your message in all the spamming they are doing
2) They are idiots.
3) They dont have a clue how to power trade and are wannabe high end sellers
4) If they say offer, tell them to learn how to sell
5) do all the above and laugh at them. If they call you noob,ignore list ftw.

Hey Nick...guess who from yer alliance! I couldnt agree with you more buddy,people are too snobbish on thier items they are selling. Just calling me a noob for not knowing a price is pretty stupid,I am not a merchat tightwad like those bastards out there.
