I'll describe basically how this works, and I encourage more of the community to start doing this to lowballers. WTS: Msg offers!!! Lowballing: 5 chaos Me: ok "Lowballingsends invite" Accepts invite. Lowballing: Where to? Me: act 1 norm. Lowballingopens trade window, puts 5 chaos in. Me: puts astramentis in. waits 30 secs Lowballing: accept dude. Me: sorry im having issues with my mouse. Increasinglyimpatientlowballing: Dude just scroll over item and hit accept... Me: closes trade window. Lowballing: wtf? Me: You just got trolled you lowballing. Lowballing: FUCK YOU Me: U MAD? I'm gonna start doing this to every single lowballing out there. Send me a reasonable offer, and I'll considering, send me a lowball and you're gonna get trolled. [edited by admin] When you waste as much of your own time as the other guy's, is it really trolling, or is it just being stupid?

still i feel your really rude toward that player, i do hope you realise that. Instead of making people angry and dissapointed toward this game try to get them feel special in the game, all you could say "sorry thats to low :)" not make some useless statement and throw the hopes for that new player.

Amazing. the trick is to monitor the low ballers position from party tab and once he leaves the act1 town wait few seconds and say "wtf you aren't here?" and then it gets going again... Your method is sound, and I do like it. But I believe my method builds up more anticipation in the lowballer when they see the item go in the window. Which also elevates the trolling to "ZOMG hes srsly gonna trade me!!!" - not.	Posted by MrSmiley21#1051 on Oct 18, 2013, 1:01:36 AM Quote this Post

[removed by admin] People offer 5 chaos probably because they don't know how much is this shit amu. If you want to sell more, put the fucking price on and wait some idiot to buy.

I'm TRYING to bait lowballers, and then troll them. I don't make an entire game out of it but occasionally I'll get bored and find myself better entertained by other activities, for example: Trolling lowballers. You act annoyed about something that is avoidable. You refuse to try to avoid the situation and then make a dickish game out of it.

And the gullible. ^ This Also if you don't want people to low ball you, stop saying MSG OFFER. You don't walk into a shop and see price tags saying MSG OFFER do you? course not, that's stupid. It's called common sense. Use it. [Removed by Support] Last edited by Anthian#0475 on Oct 18, 2013, 1:06:35 AM	Posted by Anthian#0475 on Oct 18, 2013, 1:06:10 AM Quote this Post
Just a word of caution here: sellers are free to set 'high' prices for their goods, likewise buyers are just as free to offer 'low' payment for the same item. Singling out one side or the other for peer harassment could constitute a breach of the terms of use. If you don't like someones offer just say 'no thanks' and move on.

The thing that pisses me off about people who trade in this game is that if I ask a price on an item they say "offer" and I give them my offer. They either don't reply, or reply and say "no" and I respond with "well what's the ballpark you are looking for then" and they don't reply, and just say "more" or some shit like that. It's not like they have a fucking auction going on and they say "c/o 1 ex, selling in 5 minutes" I mean its just silly..and yeah I love seeing shit uniques go for 2x the value of the item. EVERYONE in trade, all they do is sit there all day long and try to merchant. Make profit. They don't play the game. I hate trading, and I sell everything I have lower than it's actual value because I am looking for quick sales and quick currency to stock up.
