A fellow guildy of mine was recently "threatened" by this person to be put on this "zblock", which apparently is a UWSC black list, or so i think. A "fellow" player: don't post names, used multiple accounts to try and get my fellow guildy to pay him 7k to "take him off" of "zblock", the alledged UWSC black list. don't post names, has an alledged" screenshot" of my fellow Guildy failing UWSC, even though my guildy has never ran UW with don't post names, and has never failed UW.

My question is, Does anyone know what ZBlock is, and is there really a UWSC black list, or is this just a mediocre scam?

I've never heard of anything like that, sounds like a pretty lame scam. Next time, don't post the players name, even if they are scamming

I've heard of people keeping track of whos good and whos not but as to an actual list there aren't any proper ones. That guy is an idiot running a stupid scam.

Yeah. The worst you will ever come across are Guild blacklists found on forums. Though even then only people who don't pay or leave for whatever reason are put up there, failure is usually just compensated for by another player.

All in all: Just ignore them.

something like that is pretty stupid anyway, even if there were one someone can just change characters, it's not like they'd know because you're not on their friends list xD

Have seen this, the guy types text and makes it look like an automated program, with user IDs and shit, I'm pretty sure it's just BS but I dunno.

zblock is a CSS server side plugin to block certain cvars for beeing used ingame.

That means that was a pretty lame scam attempt. Just add that player to the ignore list and report him for harassment.

My guild mate called me yesterday, asking me who "so and so" was, if I knew him. I told him I had never heard of "so and so". My guild mate was capping elites outside Copperhammer Mines, when "so and so" whispered him, "You have 2 hours to give me 50k or you will be reported for scamming."

I told my guild mate to just ignore him that this guy was trying to scam him. Seems people are so hung up on wanting gold in this game, that they will resort to anything to get it.

http://zblock.cs-resourced.net/content.htm?cid=1.....< heres some info about it.

I just recently heard about it in ToA. I don't like it and its really stupid IMO. There's gonna so many scammers because of this program. A-Net should get on this problem quick before it gets out of hand.

Yeah, definitely report him (and via the website support feature rather then in game, they take those more seriously).

^Agreed. Zblock is a legitimate program. However, its just something that has absolutely nothing to do with GW. Not ANet's fault if someone falls for something so lame.

Report the guy, hopefully a timeout will make him less of a loser. And just be weary of someone else trying this again, using some other made up excuse.

You'd think that in all of these posts someone might have mentioned or asked what the *bleep* UWSC is. Call me igerant, call me out-of-touch, but I have no idea what it is. (At least I know what zblock is now )

There's more ways to get the cash for FoW than UWSC. I have 2 FoW sets and have only been in UW for a couple of spider runs

Oh please. UWSC is a relatively new phenomenon (last year or so).

I've actually never done it myself (though I've known about it for a long time). Why the heck would I? Sure its profitable, but I have more money then god already in game. And playing with SF builds is boring as hell. I'd much rather play HM UW/FoW with balanced teams and no cons.

Then they add the logged off character, it displays the character you're on now?

Actually, I have 5 characters with FoW armor, but no, I don't know every frickin' set of initials in this game. Possibly because I've never done an Underworld Speed Clear (if that's what UWSC means in this case).

[rant] It's amazing how many people think that everyone that plays GW is going to know what every little acronym-du-jour is. It's similar to those who think every one on here is from the USofA. Check out the sticky about abbreviations and note how often there is more than one answer. [/rant]

And, to answer your next comment - no, I've never bought gold either. "Guru auctions was very, very good to me."
