Item Fraud!

To admins: i didnt know how else to bring this to your attention, but there is an auction for a sundering shadow blade that is clearly fraudulent:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/auction/item.php/id=68467/

My evidence is the "screenshot" he posted.

#1 - The font used is NOT the In-Game GW font

IMO this item is fraudulent, and unless the auctioner can produce an authentic screenshot of the item description, I hope it will be removed.

for purposes of argument, i present a VERY similar item:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/auction/item.php/id=67686/

comparing the fonts will no doubt lead you to the same conclusion i reached.

Thank you

1) its a low quality pic, hence the blurry letters!
2) since the last update it says Requires now on all wepeons etc...


this is a legite sale, you should get with the times

ur a freakin noob the patch made it say Requires now

2) since the last update it says Requires now on all wepeons please reread my post, i have edited out the "requires" bit when i realised i had made an error.

also, I have presented evidence that shows the difference between a "blurry" font and a completely different font.

edit the whole entire post and make it say "i am a poopie face"

Wow. Well done sir. You have singlehandedly proven that no good deed goes unpunished.

By all means - bid on this item, and perhaps you will reap the rewards of your blatant disregard for my helpful warning.

oh btw genious, font changes based on different resolutions. Do you even own the game? Or do you just come to gw based sites and be like "hey even tho i have no idea what im talking about, i think ill be hardcore and alert admins about a 'fradulent item omgz!'"

Ask people about something before you go and accuse them of posting a fradulent item. The only reason i posted on this is cuz i get pissed of when people are so sure about something even though they are totally wrong.

This was me asking the admins to review the matter.

Also, fonts DONOT change with different resolutions. And considereing that i have been a member of this forum, and by extension the GW game for longer than you have, it would be safe to say that I *do* know what I am talking about.

One has to wonder, though: why are u so sore? If you donot like this entire post, you are free to ignore it and continue about your business.

closed lol

Regarding the issue, we have no way to verify the authenticity of the item. The item may exist per se, and it is up to the winner to verify its true presentation. I would like to think that the font alone is not sufficient to justify the removal of the item.

On a general note, if you have auction problems/questions/comments/suggestions/jokes/snacks etc., in short anything with regard to Guild Wars Guru Auctions:



Alternatively, PM and e-mail are available in my profile. I will always need all the details including involved usernames, auctions (they usually have an auction ID, a link is fine, too), and anything else you may feel relevant.
