Hello!

originaly when I had a mini-pet and I left Lions arch, i had a vamp bow eqipped. Eventualy I got healed and wondered what did that? I looked around and for the longest time I thought it was the mini-pet healing me! So i go and try to sell a healing mini-pet and some one points out outside of lions arch, Mhenlo is healing me, not my mini-pet. So I go on my way saying sorry, I thought it was the pet and we parted. Now I was in Lions Arch today, and a Guy was selling healing mini-pets. I figured the same thing happened to him as me, and I informed him it was Mhenlo who was healing him. He whipsered back to me "duh, but the newbs dont know that!" and he went on his way trying to sell a healing mini-pet.

So Basicaly, Mini-pets DONT heal, no matter how much it looks like it does! Dont fall for this trick!

Thats a pretty sick and twisted idea. Atleast you were honest and admitted your mistake. Thats just down right dirty doing what he was doing. Thanks for the advanced warning.

I saw a video clip of a bunch of necro dancers and all of a sudden Gwen appears and burns them all to death.

Same thing happened in old ascalon i believe.

So, I wouldn't want HER as my pet :P

Thank's for the tip, I'm going to obliterate scammers now.

lol well I'm sure he was asking 100k + ectos. You'd think anyone with that kinda jink wouldn't be stupid enough to fall for 'healing pets', but I suppose you don't have to be a quantum physicist to play a 55. :/

Going offtopic but I have to say, Gwen has never healed me during the time I have gone through the pre-searing with some 8-9 characters. Got her flute and cape, even fed her plenty of flowers, but nothing. She just watches me get killed and then dances on my corpse.

Even if mini-Gwen wouldn't heal me, it would be a kick-ass pet though.

You may not have noticed it, it's not much, and not often. She plays her flute, and the heal is for +20. It's not exactly a life saver.

It has been clearly stated that the miniatures do NOTHING to help you whatsoever. So anyone who doesn't know this information, well pass that along, y ell it out in game if you have to.

On a random note, all mine did was scare the crap out of me when my Mini Jungel Troll started yelling... ... I was outside but nowher near nay enemies and i hear dit and about jumped outta my skin... Loud little bugger...

Yeah, I'm kinda leery of the little witch-child myslef. If I got a Gwen mini, I'd sell her off in a heartbeat. Annoying little brat.

On a more serious note, at a certain point I have to throw my hands up in frustration at the stupidity of both the community and the scammers at times.

What I really like is people running from the Marketplace to Kaineng Square, presumably for people coming from Shing Jea Island...

Someone's gotta tell these folks that you can get to Kaineng without encountering any enemies at that point...

Really, you can.

It still amazes me how many people try to rip people off for fake money. It's not real money yet there are constantly people that try to scam people. I was Ascalon City the other morning just cleaning up a few quests I skipped and there was one kid(I say kid because I can't imagine an adult pulling this) that was running people to Piken Square for 500 gold each and another selling Drago's Flatbow for 65K, I whispered the kid selling the bow and asked if it was a new 20/20 version, he said no so I told him it was worth about 25-30K since the new ones came out. His response was "I know but noobs wont" I disconnected and came back about 3 hours later and he was still there trying to sell the bow and other 1K greens for 30-100K. Why do they do this? Don't they understand that they cant buy a car in real life with this fake money? I sell stuff I get at way reduced prices because I don't want to rip people off and I don't want to waste my time trying to sell the junk. This is why I wish that the game had a reasonable price system for weapons from the traders. You can get 40K for a Rago's Flame Staff from another player or 35 gold from the merchant but the game forces you to waste your time selling something.

I think Anet should make compulsory IQ tests before you can access your account. Anyone that scores a negative (which some of these people could...) shouldn't be allowed in.

I agree, regarding green items. I think maybe ANET should consider putting in a Rare Weapons Trader (similar to the rune and materials traders) that will sell greens according to supply and demand.

In that way, players can still deal directly with other players however if they want to sell it quick, at least they will get a more real market rate for the green in question.
