Good People DO Exist in GW - And They CAN Make A Difference!

I wouldn't have gave the 75k back... but that's just me.

do you enjoy public flagellation?

So wait... you believe that asking people to request your money back on your behalf due to a guy deliberately putting you on IGNORE so you can't do it yourself constitutes malicious harassment?

*shrug*

At least it ended well for all

All this fuzz just for 75k ^^... Should people who got scammed for more make a police report or take legal action ? lol just kidding.

Please try not to be scammed in the 1st place. Thumbs up to anet for redoing our trade screen. It has been improved over the years and is more "scam-proof". Wiki has also got a section on common IG scam methods. How do people still get scammed ^^?

Well gz for getting 20 ectos in addition to your 75k. Yes nice people do exist ^^

Umm .. Look at the avatar they chose?

Blackstarling:
I'm happy that it worked out for you and that you gained friends. Unfortunately it's hard to find good friends in GW.

Also, thank you for your service in Iraq (your husband's too).

I read the screenshot, and wow, just wow.

I was willing to pm him for you the other day, and yes it does boil down to morals. But he kind of went off the deep end, and made a mountain out of a molehill. I've lost up to 50 ectos on scams/accidental trades/bad PC's/etc..., and made many times more from people who just didn't know the value of their stuff.

While there are "good" people and "bad" people everywhere, you have no right to judge someone. Just because they act in their own self-interest does not make them evil, they are simply fufilling their primal instincts that we all share. There are hurricanes in nature that destroy and cause pain, while there is sun that regrows the earth and plants. Nature isn't evil or good, it is capricious and the same is true for people. Some follow their lesser drives that were necessary for humanity to form, some are not as bound by these. Im sure there is some science out there to view the brain function between people who act these different ways and see what parts of the brain "light up." But my point is, people will do what is expedient for them because it is what has allowed us to come thus far.

But in the end, its just a game for gods sakes. 75K really is nothing, especially compared to the screwups I've had. Now if I "accidentally" handed someone a blank check, imagine the damage that would do.

Why would you buy green dye from someone? Its like 100g at the Dye Trader.

I have to agree. I know 15 year olds who are much more mature and respectful than half the adults in this game.

Age is nothing but a number and is no true reflection of a persons maturity and personality.

Anoymity is what breeds idiocy.

Glad it all worked out in the end and you may have made a new friend.
GW is full of great people you just have to hope you run into them sometime.

Just so that u know...
GMs are really doing a good job in keeping the game fair and better place.
If u get scammed u can always report and if there are traces in logs that person has scammed someone, accounts gets banned...

Ola stari!

On-topic:
Is that you Gaile?

I'm happy that things have worked out for all.

It's refreshing to see someone consider their morality and to amend the mistake.

You have also learned a valuable lesson and gained a friend; as you said it's often the case that when a relationship starts on the wrong foot you become stronger friends.

I'm also glad that you want to give back the ectos, as imo you shouldn't be profiting from this incident and will likely mean as much to the person who gave you them if you give them back (I'm talking about the gesture rather than value of said ectos).

And good people do exist throughout the game; I've met several good friends and one very good friend through GWs.

post a screen shot

Next thread: HELP, I've been scammed! I gave someone who claimed to be scammed 20 ectos, but she wasn't scammed in the end, and now she doesn't want to give back those ectos! (p.s. wtf does iraq have to do with anything?)

Point of this thread? People aren't such assholes as you think they are. Owait they are.

The convo that the guy gave you actually makes me want to give him something. Seriously, that is so rare to see someone actually care that much about scamming. 9/10 people in this game would reply with ROFL NOOB I AM BETTER THAN YOU.

Poor guy :(.

Edit: OT, Glad you got your money back. Would have helped you out if I had read the thread earlier, I remember when that amount of money was just insane and losing it would crush me.

Well, I wish those good people do exist in GW when they do not required vent/ts when it comes to HA and GvG. I'm quite good at pvp, but they keep kick me off the team when I can't use vent/ts due to deafness. I'm pretty honest with them to let them know that I'm a deaf and can't use vent/ts and they still kick me off no matter what.

From my understanding, vent/ts makes a successful team by communication for spiking coordinate team, calling tactic, flag block, etc. Believes me, I tried to fathom their goodness in HA and GvG world, and failed.

So, I believe good people do not exist in HA and GvG. Prove me wrong if you disagreed with me.

Edit: I haven't got bambi emote even though I played gw for mere 3 yrs. I know bambi emote is very easy to get, but it's very hard to get a group required to have vent/ts. Don't tell me about pug/randomway/etc, it doesn't work.

A player at Droknars wanted to buy 25 Elonian Leather and I told him I had them. I don't know what I was thinking but I gave him 75 and I didn't even notice. He PMed me and said "Do you realize you gave me 75 and not 25" I replied "No I did't" he immediately gave them back to me. In return I gave him a portion of his money back for the 25 he purchased for being so honest. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. it's very nice he didn't keep them and I appreciate it.

I was once selling elem tome for 650g, and dude gave me 6.5k. I found that after 2min, PMed him back and gave him his money back. I don`t really like scamming people.
