Is it a scammers fault if they steal from the intelligent?
So i tell this guy if he rushes me to kryta from post ascalon i will give him 200k. He believes it and as were going through the mission after the northern wall one, he finds black dye, so i tell him as soon as we get to stash in kryta i will give him 250k if he gives me black dye now.
So 8 hours goes by, i had nothing else too do. I just had a operation and cant leave the house even to go to work for a month. So 8 hours goes by and the rush is over. We get to my stash and i tell him i have some good news and some bad news. Bad news is i dont have the 200k, good news is i just saved a bunch of money on my caw insurance.
He gets mad and says hes gonna kill every one in his family and commit suicide so i leave any way.
Is this really my fault if they idiot didnt ask for money through each mission?
So i scammed some guy... is it really my fault?

Yes it's your fault completely. If somebody trusts you, you shouldn't laugh at them for being idiots, or else you'll never make friends because trust is rather important... even in online gaming. 200k is absurd, he wasn't very smart, but it is in no way his fault.
Sir Skullcrasher
Jokes on you, I save a lot of money by switching to Gecko. 
He thought that when you first say you were going to pay him 200k, he took the deal and never borther to ask if you are really going to pay for it. I think its his fault for thinking that you will pay for the mission. But you scam him good.

200k??? i need to start running :S.
to be frank, its peoples fault if they dont take the necessary precautions....
a guildmate is an iW-eer and sold his starter sword to some warrior for abour 10k or something stupid, when the warrior in question saw him take down about two mobs.
the conversation was apparantly this:
*mob is owned*
Wa: OMG HOW YOU DO TAHT?/??////
me: my sword is 1337
wa; I bUy ja?
me: 10k
wa: lemme see...
*shows sword of 2-3 damage, no modifiers*
wa: looks a bit rubbish
me:.................................its bugged ^-^
wa: ok..... *pays*
good god.... i mean how stupid can people get?

You are posting this deliberate wickedness on the public boards? You have no shame?

actually it is ... you broke rule #1 of the game ... your guild is being reported ... but on the common sensee side of it ... he's as big an idiot as you are an ass.
sorry but you both have issues.

wow i Agree you both are at fault
this is quite humorous, because the guy you scammed is over on the gamefaqs forums complaining as we speak.
So for the people who think he is making it up....nope
while i dont condone your actions, i do wonder what happened to your victims common sense

Whether the original poster is being truthful or not, both YOU and he have serious character flaws to go stealing/duping people...in real life it's sad but in a game???????
Both sides are at fault, the duped for truly being that gullable and most definitely the lying thief.
Ex: I leave my house unlocked and a thief comes in and helps himself. My fault for leaving the door unlocked but the thief was a piece of crap person long before the moment I forgot to lock my door. I'll blame myself for my action but my action didn't cause dikhead to be a thief...etc etc.

Please let this thread drop, I realize that I'm bumping it but it's at the top so it doesn't hurt anything.
He knew what people would post, he's looking for attention.

This story sounds pretty much fake. I don't think there is someone that stupid to run someone from Ascalon City all the way to Kryta for 8hrs. I can't even play Guild Wars for more than 2hrs straight. After that, I get pretty bored and my ass and back aches from all that sitting.
twicky_kid
this game is made so everyone can get everything easy to get. if you have to scam people and take you 8 hours to get to kryta then you probly shouldn't be playing it.
only change that i would implement in this game is mods sitting in towns banning people for trying to sell althena's ashes. if reports like this keep showing don't think it won't happen. if it does i'm applying for the position. sure i'll sit in a town for 8-10 hours a day at home on my comp. how much is the pay per hour?

Wow.
Yeah, to the OP, you're a dick. Typically when I run someone to a town or something I ask for the money upfront, but a lot of times they don't believe me so they say no. So I'll run 'em anyways, and usually they pay up. It's a matter of trust, and you took advantage of the trust he put in you to pay him the amount of money you said you would. Also you stole a black dye from him.
I hope you get banned.
In fact I hope you get your car towed as well.

One guy in my city killed entire family today (5 youger brothers and sisters + mother and father) and then commited suicide by drinking 7/10 of liter of unleaded gas and setting himself to fire. I witnessed the whole scene (he did it in the park) and while he was choping them down he was screaming something like: YOU GIB 200 KA, YOU GIB BLEK DIEEEE! I tried to Healing Seed the children but it did not work.
I even tried to Healing Breeze him while he was running around in flames but I only have 5 points in Healing Prayers so... I bet that flames had him degenerating for like -15 Health per second.

But i have got to say, "Holy crap, that's hillarious!"
Even if you didnt really do that, it gave me quite a laugh...

Hmmm seems like someone got grounded and got bored and decided to post an assinine thread. I liked my hobbies as a kid better than yours.
Aniewiel
Made up or not, it's a terrible story. Shame on you and shame on your parents for doing such a lousy job raising you.
I hope you're banned for life, your car is towed and your girlfriend sees you for the rotten individual you are and shames you in public.

Dude, that was a terrible thing to do. I'm with the other guy, you deserved to get banned for life. Totally, totally mean.

OMG as disgusting as this rip off was I am still trying to stop laughing!

It's a game. Nobody deserves death for ripping another person off. Get over it already, it happens left and right. Maybe a warning or a ban or something would be quite suitable, but seriously... death? How ignorant can you get?
And it's not just DEATH... it's the most painful death.
Get a life.

This thread is a blatant cry for attention. For one thing, I doubt anyone was stupid enough to do what he describes. It's a made up story intended primarily to get a lot of negative attention. (unless he is idiotic enough to think people would give him a pat on the back for being an ass)
Either way, the only reason I'm posting this is because the thread is already bumped to the top of the forum. Let it die folks and don't feed the troll. From his behavior, you can assume one of three things is true.
1) he gets picked on a lot at school and is using stuff like this as an outlet. (least likely)
2) He picks on people a lot at school. (more likely)
3) Gets completely ignored by most and disliked by some, and the girl he has a crush on doesn't even know he exists so he does stuff like this just for that warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that people are aware he exists. (most likely of all)

Bob173115
I must admit, pal, that I can be a complete jackass online. But my "online" and my "real life" personnas are quite diverse. People tend to be more vicious online because they can hide behind a computer screen. I'm completely different in real life, and I'm sure most of you are, also.
You can also see different personnas generate within the real world and online too, depending on your surrounding environment of peers.
That said, think over your last post.

As for the "caring so much about a computer application", you've completely missed the point and don't have a clue what's being said again. It's not about the computer application, it was about the act itself and the person.
Sovetskeey
Haha some of you guys are so funny. I just laughed when I read his post. The Geiko line was priceless
I think it's pretty sad that you guys take something that happened IN A GAME so seriously. Not to mention that it had absolutely NOTHING to do with you. Sure it was mean but under normal and intelligent circumstances, he shouldn't have even got a reply for the rush. Just goes to show what dangling a few bucks in front of somebody can do.
I suppose you guys report every guy who scams somebody at Beacon's Perch?

LOL! Uncle! I'm not here to battle you, Bob. Maybe it's just my 'old fashioned values' surfacing again. I try to behave the same way online that I do in real life. I try to treat people fairly, that's all. In fact, I'd venture to say that I treat strangers -better- online than I do IRL for the same thing you said: I can hide behind a computer screen and be relatively anonymous.
Now...peace, bro.
Oh...and I'm a girl..not that it probably matters but I'm so rarely called 'pal'.

No, Eet, you have no idea what's going on. The type of personality shown to a certain individual can vary greatly. I've scammed people before, not necessarily on guild wars, but on other games. But, it doesn't reflect my real life personality. Read my previous post, k? Thx.
Anie:
Sorry for addressing you as pal. Maybe Ms. Pal would be better? :P
Anyway... The way you react online is just your online personna. The majority of my friends online tend to act differently than in real life, that's where I conjured my theory, from personal experience. Maybe your online personna just matches your real life one? :P
And, my online personna is more harsh because I don't see the other people as "real". It's just a thing with me. They're not real people until I see them, physically meet them... You know? It's kinda like how some people say God doesn't exist, because there's no proof of him. Same sort of concept here.

I would like to point out that the idiot in question is not fully responsible for his idiocy, the system that created him is. The same applies to the scammer. Calling the idiot stupid doesn't make him any smarter.

And I love these "I'm so much better than everyone because I don't care what happens in a game" posts. Oh and what anyone has to say about anything doesn't have NOTHING to do with you either, yet you're here posting.
Meh, Bob. Now you're just trying to get a rise out of me since you're not even addressing what I posted and talking about something completely different.
And if you get your jollies scamming people and trying to get a reaction on the forums...well have fun with that. Maybe your "real life" persona will find some satisfaction someday.
