General Discussion - Starting to troll these lowballers. - Forum

People offering 5 chaos for an Astramentis is pretty bad however they could just be a new player who doesn't really know any better. IF YOUR NOT GOING TO PUT A PRICE ON YOUR ITEM THEN YOU SHOULD EXPECT LOW BALLS. Your making the buyer play a guessing game as to what amount you will accept for your item. People generally aren't going to throw out a super great offer, they are going to start as low as they think they can get away with. That is not a bad thing on their part, that is their job as the buyer. This is more true with rares that don't have any kind of set price to go off from. High quality uniques are things the community has a better idea of a baseline price so its less understandable to get a terrible offer of 5 chaos for an Astramentis. Still, please don't attack low ballers if you don't even put down a minimum bid. I agree with the above comments in principle, so much anger over this subject both in forums on chat channels an even live talk channels. It's not as if there is a "Stock Standard Shop" where all items could be bought at a set price which establishes a benchmark for that item an it's price. Supply an demand sets the price in principle, if sellers state what they want in currency then less issues would occur. Or do all sellers assume buyers check the latest catalogue off some site for the current R.R.P (Recomended Retail Price) Dah :-) No kinda like a can of Coke is $1 in California whereas it's $5 on the Yukon River. If your not happy with $5 then walk too California. Equally if you pay $10 an the guy next door you later find out is selling for $5 tough luck. Deal done.

Welcome to the forums of free2play games. "I will troll everyone who doesn't make an offer that satisfies me!" sigh If I'd ever got a chance to make a game, it would definitively not cater to the players that want the game to change instead of themselves improving in it.

It's not the lowballer's fault you don't post a price in the first place.. would you buy from someone who doesn't post a clean price from the start of the negotiation? Why do you want anyone else to post a fair price when it was a negotiation that you started? That's your job. In the end you're wasting more of your own time than any other individual's because each victim only lost 30 seconds; you've probably lost hours to this sad crusade.

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. +1 Don't forget to drink your milk 👌	Posted by TheWretch#7848 on Oct 18, 2013, 2:01:06 AM Quote this Post
