Hell if I know. I liked the first one, but not enough to spend $60 on the second.

It's 50 if you apply Runes of Holding on both bags or get Charr Bags. More if you get an upgraded equipment pack.
Quite true, quite true, except the OP actually wanted to know how many character slots one could have

So if a guy lights his fart on fire and he doesn't get injured, it wasn't stupid?

Stupid or not, it makes me /facepalm, so I think it belongs here.

Besides, the fact that the messages are right next to each other qualifies it as an example of a stupid scammer, IMO.

all you need is one fish, and placing the ads right next to each other makes for a juicy bait

stupid or not, this much disagreement undermines its position here

This is the reason it belongs here. The fact they are right next to each other should immediately throw up a red flag to anyone.

Similarly, many traders don't bother to read the trade chat themselves. I often see text like:

x: WTB Totem axe 4k
y: WTS totem axe 4k
x: WTB Totem axe 4k
y: WTS totem axe 4k

Just remember, there is someone for everyone, you only have to meet them

I agree with you Chasing Squirrels.

Instead of laughing at his stupidity, which it isn't stupid, how about helping the new player with advice and/or tips.

I've whispered to him: sell them by the stacks, instead of individual, you have a better chance of getting buyers quickly and not have to remain at the trade channel long. It takes less than a min to farm 14 feathers.

Don't really see anything stupid about selling 6 feathers, I think the stupidity is more on the other side.

Happened a while back.... Paraphrased since I lost the screenie a while back :/

I was running him from LA to Ascalon, and this was before the dervish update, so mods and scythes were still relatively cheap. It was so awesome I still remember it :P

Other guy: Man, I love this scythe
Me: What skin is it?
Other guy: Its a q 12 saurian, cost me 75k
Me: Wow :S you got ripped, they're worth like under 20k :/
Other guy: I know, the mods make it worth 75k >.>
Me: Scythe mods, even the expensive ones, dont even break 6k/each lol
Me: so modding a scythe doesnt cost 55k :P
Other guy: yeah it does!
*silence for the rest of the run*

^THIS is why I love to run

What's stupid about that? Everyone knows that you don't lose your SC "noob" status until you have done at least 850 runs!

I'd say the whole stone thing itself is utterly retarded.

This is some random spouting from some guys who obviously haven't even played guildwars and still thinks they are pro at how the game works.



I find it interesting how often as of lately it is proved they have became so bad at the game.

I mean..can you report 2 ppl because one is buying for high price, and other is selling for a lower??
As far i know you cant report someone because try to sell one items for xxxxx e/armbrace or cash, because its a free market without values and all people are free to sell them for how much they want.
But here is different, it is something organized with the intent to scam..

Most of the time its 2 people who are not in the same guild/alliance and live in 2 completely different areas of the world. Therefore they cannot be justly banned in ANets eyes.

You can do this in a game such as WoW but the reason it is non existent is because of the presence of the AH.

I like how his reason for why they don't have 50/50 is because they don't use discord.
That's much funnier than the fact he was spouting out people's points. God forbid people actually play the game without using one of the cheapest mechanics ever put into a game.

Seriously, discord only shined before 7 hero update. Now people should be using more creative builds instead of discord's cheapness. The game is actually even more fun now with all the choices that are presented.

The other day I was selling a dhuum's soul reaper for 28e. Got a /w saying he'll buy it for 18e. After kindly telling him no, it's worth far more than that, he proceeded to flame me, call me a noob, and its worth only 15-20e. After asking how he came to that conclusion, his answer was 'because my guildies told me'

Won't affect me at all. I've never used it and don't even have the necessary skills unlocked to do so even if I wanted to.
