I feel bad ripping off the newbies...
" Yet you posted it in the forums, and then had the audacity to act like you had no choice in the matter, and now you're upset people called you on it. " So you're essentially saying - yet again - that because you didn't make anyone do it it's OK but yet you go on to say you would outright cheat someone ... then you turn around in the very next sentence and say: " So you're either blameless or responsible for your actions...which is it? Saying "But mooooom!...everyone else kicked the homeless guy" doesn't cut it - you're answerable for what you do. " Then you should know better - not an excuse. " Good ... now grow up a little bit more and see that what you're doing is creating a lousy community instead of being cool. " Good for you! More people should. Now what makes you think online people are not RL people? " IMO - that doesn't have much to do with it. It's treating people like human beings whether it's in a game (or online period, for that matter) or not - after all, this isn't 'Trading PvP' or some such thing. It's one thing to accept more than what you ask for for something, quite another to outright cheat someone when they don't know any better. Granted - people have a responsibility to learn - in that same vein, when you know better you have a responsibility to teach them as well. In other games - you get a cookie whether you win or lose. PoE not only takes your cookie and eats it in front of you, it slaps you upside the head a few times for bringing a cookie in the first place.

" Let me ask you something. If a rich person came to your house and offered you $200,000 for your beat up Honda civic , would you take it? Or would you say "oh no sir, I'm sorry but the book value on this car is only $6,000 . I couldn't possibly take more." You guys kill me. |

" Sup Sarlaiel, scammed some more newbs on Default? |

" absolutely correct stop acting mr fair guys you want escape from reality i am not greedy but trading with new players is very advantageous not only you earn some more currency or nice stuff,you also find several new friends to which you can help in exchange for them trading with you and a lot of enemies which you wont notice because you are not going to trade with same character and level with same one high |

I'm done here too many people think I post for the famez. I posted here to prove a point and I did.
I proved my point in which I said that these people that take advantage of people in a game are more susceptible to be rapists, pedophiles and bank robbers. Noobs need to learn, and if they're going to offer me a shitload of stuff to me for me to profit I will. Does that make me a bad person ingame? Yeah, okay it does but I don't care, it's a game I play it for fun But all of you say this translates into me being a bad person in real life is seriously a joke. |

" When someone knows better - and still overpays - that is their prerogative. When someone doesn't know better, and thinks they are being fair - only to find out later on they got screwed - that is what helps to create toxic communities. Something we want to avoid.

" And YET you "failed" to mention to him that he was overpaying... Nice, very nice.... “A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves.” ~ Simone Weil “A person should refrain from all those things that take him towards fallacy, misery, ignorance and degradation. ” ~ Atharva Veda “Students should acquire human values, in addition to their scholastic, intellectual and other attainments. It is the decline in human values that accounts for the degradation of human beings...” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba The Pope quit, a meteor fell on Russia, an
asteroid came close to the earth, there's snow in Arizona, star wars and star trek have the same director! Who the hell is playing jumanji? | |

I also have a character named Tygerwoody and BradMcquad if you are interested. If you consider taking a trade that someone offered me a scam, fine. I have nothing to hide.

" I would talk to the person, make them understand what the market value would be, make sure I understand why they are overpaying and if I think it is legit, I might sell the car. A deal like that frankly sounds like some Nigerian prince-style scam that would end up being a huge amount of trouble. This is probably the part where you say "Bullshit, you would take the money and run." No, you might. . .but you and I are probably different. |

" Someone came up to me with 200k for a beat up old car, i'd tell them it wasn't worth that but if they wanted to pay that much I'd take it, who wouldn't. I wouldn't take it without telling them they were overpaying. However - that is quite different from taking advantage of someone who is brand new to something and doesn't know any better. I would never and i mean never take advantage of someone who was brand new, if i knew they were brand new. As i said - it's my personal choice, do i expect anyone else to act this way? No, i don't. I'd be just as likely to offer way more orbs than something is worth and insist the person takes it just because i wanted it and give away my skill gems/gear without letting someone pay me - that is just me. I've taken presents from people when i have nothing to give in return except a thanks and a smile, but same token, refusing a present to me is absolutely rude and isn't something that you do. All i was saying from that one quote i posted was i don't change who i am based on video game vs real life. Again keep it civil people, be nice to each other :) “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” —Leo Buscaglia Contact support@grindinggear.com to report issues relating to the game or forum.
