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.

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.

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?

thats extremely weird. I think that may have been my friend advertising the plasma blade. Cuz that's the name for this weapon I made up a couple years back in Diablo 2. That'd be cool if it were him, it wasnt a scam. It was a joke between me and him (if it was him.) If it wasnt, then thats a cool coincidence.

I always try to sell my cool stuff like

"WTS TAPE OF SUPERIOR PORN"

but no one buys

North of Grendich Courthouse (In the next province north), is a Collector that gives out Plasma Blades, but the damage sucks (It is in line with weapons from that point in the storyline). You need three Jaws I think. I was there with henchmen, so they probably got all the jaws.
