as a british person i tend to favor the underdog, and kinda feel sorry for him, now that this thead has reached into its 3rd page, im sure his contemplating suiside:-/

contemplating suidide.. over some people he's trying to scam insulting him on an online forum.. Sorry pricks like this don't have feelings in the same way you or I do or they wouldn't try retarded tricks like this in the first place.

cut him a bit of slack, and if it really really REALLY offends you, i thought a way of boycotting him....

Why should we cut him any slack? Really... do you think he would cut the poor soul who didn't check the price any? So why should we give it to him.

psyco said:
after all its not a crime, his not killed anyone, further more his not even scamming any one its his choice to charge whatever he want's there is no preasure upon you to buy them

Flaming him to a small crisp isn't against the law either. We arn't killing anyone.. it's his choice to charge what he wants sure.. he can charge a fair price that isn't trying to trick people or he can have everyone refering to him as a retarded 3 year old with no morals. Like you said the choice was completely up to him, he chose it freely and now he can live with the concequences. He's a prick and should be booted from the guild he's currently in if they want to retain any reputation on the server at all.

"So what if its the 2nd or 3rd time?" Well - It quite frankly shows what you posted is utter bull shit and this guy couldn't give 2 shits.

Hes just posting "I HAVE A GIRL TO SEXORZ MEIGHTS!"

He calls his pc sally, wacks in his 3 1/2 floppy and sees takes a hard-drive

Yes its only a game you are perfectly correct. It is on the other hand also a community. Every community has its written and unwritten rules and when people break those rules the community feels its its right to punish the "evil doers". What you se here is the Daoc community punishing what it considers an evil doer.

Yes it is starting to look like a "Torch" crowd where any sign of reason or sanity is a sweet echo of the past.

I think you're missing the point - he's not charging a high price for them just to get more cash if the entire supply should run out..

he's putting them next to low priced ones in the hope someone with too much cash isn't paying attention and buys it by accident - paying 16p for a water pot instead of 16g.

If it was a 'test' would Roope have given back the money if some poor idiot had bought the pots? And why aren't there actual 16g water pots to act as a control in this 'test'? Shoddy test conduct tbh! :eek7: .

Always buy my pots from Tosen/Mum - in fact I buy everything from them - everyone else should do the same! :clap:

Roope doesn't care about ripping people off and it is no test.. .i spoke to him a few weeks about this when I saw they were on for that price and his response was.

"It cost me money to level up so that a fair price, if anyone buys it then tough"

who the hell cares about reputation? i have my irl friends to drink a beer or two, i have my in game friends to rvr with, and i have my girl to have sex with, why on earth would i go for reputation points on a virtual forum full of people ive never known really and never will.
i play this game for fun, but i try not to harm people - those pots were a test, after somebody REALLY sold one for 20p, for the record, i HAVENT sold any of those - so stfu and have a nice day.

That has to be the saddest wankiest excuse I have ever read on FH and I have read a fair few over teh years!

He shows no remorse at all, but rather goes on a gloating spree. Why would we need people like this in the community? It's time for Roope to either take this like a man, or accept a bad reputation.

I'm not saying he has no feelings at all. Just he doesn't have the same kind of feelings as people who don't pull these pranks. Serial killers also have feelings, it's not a reason to not lock them up in jail...

If it's a fair price, why does he need to put them next to cheap ones that look the same? It's a pure scam nothing else!
If he did this in real life it would be against the law, and he'd get arrested. I'm not saying arrest him, but some kind of punishment is hardly out of order..

Well, Roope,
If you wanna sell Greater Nereid Potions, then put them at a fair price tbh.

You nearly made 16p 20s x 3, from me.

They are listed on the Market Explorer just above some for 19g 90s, so thought I'd buy those for 16(p/g?!) instead.

I thought you relisted your items with the fair price last time there was this discussion ?

Note: This is not a whine, simply a heads up, for people to sort their prices etc :)

/toby


why would you buy water potions 3g cheaper than on your own cm, you got 3 mansions and a small house, cant be 3g that stop you :D

was just wondering :p

I have 3 mansions, and 3 houses - yea.

I would be stupid not to buy 3 pots which - I thought - was 2g cheaper than what it costs to make them myself.

just answering :fluffle:

its still no reason to flame him, serial killers tend to have a criminal profile and reasons, ie if they rape and kill woman, their mum probbably abused them, and thats the sad thing, people need to understand the cause before they say anything bad against that person, i belive people arn't bad, just they had a bad upbringing childhood

no, he crafted them, if he felt that they were worth more/less he can charge whatever, ie games cost differant amounts from differant stores even tho the stores didn't write them... your saying that that is a crime?:p

-----------------------------------------------

fyi im not supporting this kinda behavior, just against the reply posts

I could say the same to the community. We have stated our view and expressed our feelings on the matter. Why dont WE grow up and let the dust settle. People have now been warned about Roope and that is what this was all about. Roope reputation in the community is beyond repair. The only thing you achieve by pursueing the matter is that people start to feel sorry for him ( which is something we dont want to happen) or that he reports it as harrasment which IS against the CoC and a matter that goes beyond the community and is GoA territory.
In other words : Just because he is acting like an idiot doesnt mean we have to respond like idiots.
