ofc it is, but people should really care about eachother more then make stuff like this, it was setup to do nothing other then screw people of there money, call it a "test" os stupidity if you like but i bet you 100% he wouldnt give the money back to the misfortunate person who was in a hurry and unfortunately bought one of the expensive ones.
if it was a mistake, then okay, shit happens, the fact alone that he puts in
19g 90c
19g 90c
19g 90c
19g 90c
16p 20c
is purely a sign on this is 100% intended.
actions and reactions here often reflects opon the person irl, so i wouldnt be supprised if your a 5 star chav

Heh, this Roope guy seems a total idiot. Oh, and who is he kidding, your behavior in the community is a reflection of your personality. None of the well-known scammers and fools are going to be Mother Theresas IRL. It takes a certain mindset to do things like this, and that is just not going to go away when you do something other than playing a game (we can only hope that they get suppressed IRL where possible repercussions are more serious).

So.... just to get it straight...
A guy from guild <Knights of Purity> merrily states in public that he doesn´t give a fook about ingame reputation, that he doesn´t show any respect for other players and that he deliberately tried to sca.. to "test" peoples attention by trying to rip them off for 19p. And no word from the guild GM? I know, at this point the usual "don´t judge a guild by the actions of one person" sets in. But then: how much more damaging can one person be for a guild? Does <Knights of Purity> REALLY support and defend this kind of behaivour?

It's both. If someones tired and/or not concentrating they could easily buy them accidently then have no comeback. Yes it would be that persons fault technically, but roope is clearly trying to play on that, its not like anyone would ever buy pots for that amount so why would he otherwise list them for it. Both a greedy bastard and a (wannabe) scamming one.scorge said:while i dont agree with it, its his CM its his price, and its your own fault if you buy one. Its not as if he is hiding the price you just have to be a bit slower on the buy button. Just dont buy stuff from his cm .
I dont think its scamming, just a greedy bastard.

selling 'overpriced' items to ppl that dont know what they usually go for is about the same as scamming? imo atleastBelomar said:Please. Don't be an idiot. It's not about being overpriced, it's about trying to scam others by camouflaging the price so that people mistakenly buy your item over another.
Oh, and ~~
not saying any of it is right!
oh, and idiot

It's not about items being overpriced, but over ripping people off. If someone sticks a Zahur ring on a cm for 60p, sure it's expensive, but people can expect such amounts of money to be paid for such an item, while you don't assume to pay 10+ plat for a water pot.Spamb0t said:
Not to mention that this is at least the second time someone mentions him ripping people off in the same way, while I believe the first time he said it was an accident, and now he's just blatantly being a **** over it.Dorimor1 said:First you sell an item that you won and shouldn't have sold, then you sell off an item filenotfound won on an auction, then this?
Why, Roope?

Omg, is it so hard to read what you actually buy?
Off course it is lame to try to scam some cash out of people but they have to do the not thinking before they click
16g water pot is below material cost so its kinda strange to see them for that price on a CM

I won't fall for such CM scams atleast not after Glendari's CM scandal with his powerpots for 20p!
Not that I agree with putting things up like that to make people think it's actually in Gold instead of Plats but it's kinda your own fault if you buy them.
I used to buy things off CMs really fast without looking but after Glendari's Powerpot scandal() I got cured and now I just look really careful when buying pots.

Hmmm things to address in this thread...
Flesh had a terrible reputation but if you knew how to handle it he was actually a decent guy. I had a lot of time for him tbh...
The actions of the individual remain the actions of the individual UNTIL a senior guild member steps in to defend them. There has been no such defence so no dishonour should be associated with the guild in question...
Scam, test, theory, idea, plan... Call it what you will it was pretty low BUT that's the way the world works. There always have been and always will be opportunisticly minded folk who look to take abuse every situation and use it to their advantage...
Personally I think it's a crap thing to do but I'm not surprised it was him who did it... Sadly yo can't stop people trying the same trick if they feel like it (and some always will). It's a classis case of Caveat Emptor - Let the buyer beware.
Always double check prices before you buy. You can't always trust the seller, so you have to do the work yourself...

There shouldn't be, but unfortunately there will be dishonour by association - people remember this kind of behaviour. However, it's quite clear that Roope's GM is doing the right thing and taking steps to handle the situation. I certainly wouldn't want such a tried, tested and proven assh*le like Roope wearing my guild's colours.
You'll notice that society hands out pretty severe retribution to those that take advantage of others in unacceptable ways. Con-artists who get caught don't get off lightly in the real world because their behaviour is repellant to all honest people. If behaviour is repellant to people in the real world, chances are it'll be equally repellant to people in our game world. We're seeing that revulsion in the majority of posts here.
I expect everyone will agree to your point that you can't and won't stop people from trying this kind of thing. But that doesn't excuse those who are caught! The plain truth is that his behaviour is completely unacceptable and he has been quite without remorse (in fact, he's proven himself to be a serial offender!). I sincerely hope Roope finds himself excluded from guilds, groups and events. No-one likes a cheat.
