Can't say I've come across this sort of stuff that much; still get plenty of people scrounging money (with varying levels of politeness and success). I've only ever had one person ask if they could 'borrow' Bane 'so I can take a screenshot of me holding it'. Needless to say, they didn't get their screenie.

As for Nerner, yes, he's scum but the people who got scammed by him after repeated warnings are just dumb.

As I recall he didn't get banned for scamming - cos if you accept a trade then it's your fault and you can't blame anyone but yourself - but for persistent griefing. He apparently drove several players to quit as a result of his in game abuse tactics, at which point Mythic banned his ass as a griefer.

In other words, once it started to have an impact on Mythic's pockets.

would love to see his face then :D :D

well as long as its nothing lethal its quite fun, ive also heard some stories of what happend with some cheaters people finally met irl on lanparties :rolleyes:

from that article:
Actual violence has become so commonplace among computer-game players that concerned authorities even have a term for it that borrows from the game: "off-line PK" (player killings).

The beating wasn't real but staged. I can't be arsed to find the links and everything so you'll have to trust me on that.

As for scamming, I've never seen anyone try it on Excal. Do you think it might be Excal people rolling on Pryd for some reason trying to piss Pryd off?

Too bad, actually. He deserved a swift beating for the shit he's pulled on other people.

But that is my opinion. ;)

Had 2 pm's in 20 mins this morning at Goth asking could they equip some of my stuff to what it looks like on them. Basically told them to go blow a goat.
