Dont laugh I have seen newbs in Ascalon ask people to pay to look at their GODLY LEET UBER WEAPONS FOR SALE. Sickens me everytime I see it I will let the people know its a rip off.

If someone actually pays to look at something, then all i can do is tell them i have ocean front property in Missouri for sell and it will cost them 1k to see...=)

It sickens me when I see stuff like that. It automatically takes me to the days of B.net and dealing with the 9 year old elementary school drop outs of Diablo 2.

There will always be people to fall for this, no matter how much "DISGUST AND OUTRAGE" posturing you register here on the forums.

While 45k is an absurd price, just the "I haven't seen THAT before" effect makes the Plasma Blade worth 5k.

Actually, in general that is just an idiot trying to sell something at idiotic prices. No one bought it or even took his offer.

Geez, it's sort of like paying that sleeze bag on the corner 1k to "see what's under his coat".

And, Darren, people can voice their disgust here, can't they? LOL! No harm and it's a creative, safe place to do so.

Slightly OT, but my favorite LA general chat message of the day: "WILL HUMILIATE MYSELF FOR GOLD!"

LOL, Alderman. :P It's amazing how many people will humiliate themselves for nothing. Just sit in AC or some other mission area and listen to the drivel people spew. :P

But that -is- a good one! LOL!

While waiting for some friends in Ascalon yesterday, I got annoyed by the guys trade-spamming the ALL channel, so I started competing:

"WTB: SUPERIOR WARRIOR RUNE OF KICKING ASS OR MINOR WARRIOR RUNE OF PRODDING BUTTOCKS"
"WTB: PURPLE OR GOLD SUPERIOR MESMER THONG OF DOMINATION"
"WTB: DWARVEN GINGER ALE"
etc etc

I don't think anyone got the joke.

*nods* A Domination Mesmer would -definitely- need the thong. Is there enough material on it to actually dye it a different color?

No - and that's why you need level 5 Illusion to wear it

Ooooh, you'd be surprised how many donations I got to keep drinking Dwarven Ale and dance my elementalist Elaine dance. On another note... does anyone even still buy dwarven ale?
