I still view a lot of things in this game as "that took me X hours to get" - and I treat those things, value wise, based on that concept.


As you should.
Keep PoE2 Difficult.
If only there was a trade system, the buyer would be more empowered. Not only in making it easier to evaluate worth by forced exchanges, rather than phantom poe.trade listings with no intentions of sale, or dead listings from those have departed the game, but also by creating a buyers market where it's easy to tell one person to sod off because there are plenty more available for purchase, regardless of timezone. Current setup is heavily slanted to favor the seller. Hope this changes someday.
No. Calm down. Learn to enjoy losing.
It's how he handled it, not what the guy offered.

If this was on the 1 month league, I'd ask the thread owner to message the guy and tell him to message me. I'd buy him a 5 link COD just because of this.

Your reaction of threatening to come through the guys' screen to shit stomp him for the charity line - I can understand that reaction (I hate trade, and have had those types of people too)... only if the convo kind of STARTED on that foot.


well now that you put it like that, I did over-react a bit.
still angry though. for two reasons:

1) OP shouldn't have used that line. at all.
your first example is more dirt-baggy than the second, yes, but both aren't "normal behavior".
repeating the "no thanks" and maybe adding a "enjoy the game" etc' - is infinitely better than telling the guy to piss off, while achieving the same result.

2) OP is coming to the forum to name/shame the guy, and brag about how much of a super-trader he is. I hate that. it's disgusting.

EDIT: @people trolling Dirk - you guys are the scum of the earth.
I disagree with Dirk about pretty much anything, and some of his posts annoy me (and no doubt some of mine annoy him) - but I sincerely hope you bastards get a probation.
why? because this kind of "community" is not what I fucking signed up for, that's why.

Was a bit harsh on the new player but I've never had this happen since I clearly state how much I want from the start instead of dragging out it as "have anymore?" I would have just said "I want 5 ex for the item firm" and that would be it.

That avoids any ambiguity.

This. The person who was trying to buy the cloak is obviously quite new. He didn't have exactly what you wanted, so instead of saying "Sorry only accept currency" you kinda insult him, and then proceed to ignore / report him to look smart for your little thread. You think that would be enough but..

*Posts entire conversation on forum for thousands of people to see*

You dick.


Exactly this is what i was trying to get across, but i guess its fine trying to rip of noobz without having any sympathy for the fact they might in fact be new to the trading game.

Well that's just unfair - he wasn't trying to rip anyone off.

1) look in your screenshot.
2) you can call your little brother "Johny boy".
I'm John Keys, and judging by the way you phrase yourself, our age difference is large enough for you to call me "Mr. Keys sir".
