Rude and disrespectful buyers/sellers
Angel Puriel
Has anyone noticed the influx of rude, hostile, and/or disrespectful buyers and sellers has been increasing dramatically since the start of 2008? I've been trading in Kamadan, LA, and Kaineng for the past 3 or so months and prior to January 2008, people have been mostly nice in trading. I don't know why, but the past few weeks, there has been so many assholes whenever I make or take offers. The majority now are all pricks who instead of saying a simple "nty," want to verbally abuse you. I really wish the Ignore list wasn't limited to 10 names...

People have always bugged me when it comes to trading.

BTW, I hate it when people use guru forums and the PC section as a sad excuse to lowball or make crazy high price offers. Oh, and C/O means absolute crap in-game. Again, if you dislike offers, simply say "nty," or don't respond at all.

Yea same here.
At OP, you can always try guru auctions. I've had more successful transactions there then in game or on the forum. No hassle at all

Yep true, it's mostly the last couple of weeks btw. I'm not even bothered to figure out why it is, but i hope the rumoured xunlai trading house might come to solve the problem though.

"I've been trading in Kamadan, LA, and Kaineng for the past 3 or so months and prior to January 2008, people have been mostly nice in trading."
When ppl first start trading they usually trade cheaper items and ppl who buy/sell cheaper items are nicer because they are: a) new to the game; b) new to trading; c) not looking to gain huge profits; d) not reselling an item that they bought to resell.
"I don't know why, but the past few weeks, there has been so many assholes whenever I make or take offers."
Could this be because you have made some money with ur 3 months trading stint and now have moved on to medium class trading where ppl are desperate to: a) get a good deal; b) sqeeze as much profit as possible; c) look for a noob that they can take advantage of.
So you see the higher you go the more @$$ holes you meet. thats just the way the cookie crumbles.

I usually just say ''Ty '' when I buy something from someone, or if they are trying to bargain me down then I'll say ''Sorry, I can't really go any lower.'' Depending on the item.
But yeah I've never personally had super rude people, but I know they can be jerky and uptight.. Maybe they had an issue? Who knows.

I agree with Jetdoc. You can actual track when the "jerks" come into the game. More kiddies play on weekends. Furthermore, the amount of jerks and bad PUG players spikes at ~3:30 EST after school lets out and ends around ~10 PST pm at bed time. Generally PUGs and casual PvP like RA and AB will have the worst players at these peak times (if you are playing in American districts obviously). I generally avoid PvP in non-guild groups at any time after 4 pm and before 2 am.
The first few weeks of summer vacation and other national holidays are also pretty congested.

That's because a lot of those spamming derelicts are Americans just trying to feel big.
In Euro it's not much better, cept for the occasional nice guy. But yea lack of dicipline the homes cause online abuse and attacks. Majority rules (American)
Sorry but it's the truth.

..if only we had some kind of...market..to sell things in
gremlin
Has anyone done any research as to location of such people
ie are there more bad experiences in certain areas or is it a worldwide problem.
I am in the UK so usually access the European areas and havn't come accross the problems described in this and other threads.
The worst I come accross are impolite comments when someone doesnt use English and these comments are very few and hopefully reported.

My personal favorite are, "Thats not worth xx amount its only worth about 2k."
I'll put this simply if you disagree with the price DON'T BUY IT. I don't need to be spammed with your opinion, especially if you aren't even trying to haggle. /rant

Wanna avoid asswipes? gogogo guru auctions! lol
Though I love the people who wont tell you what they want. They are either just waiting for you to offer higher then they wanted or cuss you out if you offer them lower then they want.
Angel Puriel
Just wanted to remind people that I'm asking if anyone realized the INFLUX of rude and disrespectful buyers/sellers RECENTLY. I know that there will always be a-holes in GW, on the internet, and in this world, but that's not what I'm concerned with.
Yeah, I hate sellers who do that. It wastes time and causes unwarranted headaches. If you want to sell something, stop it with the "offer" crap. Either name your asking price or don't be a dick if you don't like my offer because you refused to name your price.

This isnt a doomsayer post or a GW dieing post.
But i think the economy as well as GW is just dieing at a fast speed right now. People were occupied with the holidays from Halloween to Wintersday. Now after the holidays are over, you go into KC, LA, KAMA and you'll see that people have lowered prices on almost everything and that you will hardley ever find someone posting WTB. Every weapon has been found and has had more than ample time to be over farmed. You dont get the "worth" of items that you used to when you farm now. I used to hear about farming all the time, especially before GWEN came out. Now i rarely hear people farming various things.
So basically my point is - people are pissed because when they make a sell or a buy its like pulling teeth. Its now getting to the point where its hardley worth the time to try to sell or buy/hardley worth the effort to try to get something to sell.

I gave up using Kamadan, LA, or Kaineng to sell/buy things and I find it faster to look up or post on Guru (or whatever site i happen to be selling/buying stuff on). The very idea of standing around for minutes or hours spamming WTB/WTS has lost all appeal.

I don't even bother trading, If I don't find something I want or can't sell something I wanna get rid of in about 5 mins time, I give up, if I get a bite on something I'm selling and the person tries to haggle with me, i just stop talking to the person. you want what I'm selling, pay my price or look else where.
