Weeping Weetos

I was on Luxxoria, doing various things such as making Netherweave Bags and Disenchanting the crap my alts send, when I see a mage advertising portals. He’s asking for gold as payment, so I put out my own advertisement for free portals.

Nothing wrong with that, right? Weetos doesn’t seem to think so.

I meant ‘deal with it’ in a ‘sorry, but this is just business’ kind of way. Not a ‘fuck you, my portals are better’ kind of way.

No idea what brought that on.

So he’s a sore loser and a hypocrite. Go figure.

Nobody took me up on my offer of free portals, anyway. They probably thought I was trolling or some shit.

All Hail Conan, The Lord of Linen!

Oh my GOD, this new realm is SO DAMN QUIET! I’m so happy I am able to post an update. I’d move to another realm, but money is a bit tight just now. You know how it is.

Anyway, I was on Luxxoria, selling my stuff at the Auction House when I see a player named Conanthewarr (hereafter referred to as ‘Conan’ selling Linen Cloth at 4g a stack. Since I had twelve stacks of linen on the Auction house at 7g 50s each, I cancel all the auctions and put half of them back up at 2g each.

Conan promptly buys all four, so I put another four up, again at 2g a stack. This time, I advertise in Trade. What happens next is rather … pathetic.

You read that right, folks. He did indeed call me a ‘fag’ for undercutting him.

I didn’t really report him. I was actually hoping he’d panic. I was rather disappointed when he didn’t. But I’m right. I did get a three hour ban for telling someone to ‘fuck off and man up’ (or something along those lines). So by rights he’d get the same for calling me a ‘fag’.

I put him on ignore after this. Just to piss him off even more, I cancelled my Linen auctions (again), and put all eight stacks up at a 1 copper starting bid.

Conan didn’t take bid. However, when I checked a few hours later, I saw that several people had undercut him on cloth. I wonder how many of them got an angry whisper, or an angry in-game mail?

There are no rules against undercutting people on the Auction House. If there was, nobody would be able to make any money.

Which is something Conan really needs to learn.

False Accusations V

While hanging around in Orgrimmar on Navitas, a Priest named Corpsereaper asks in the Trade Channel if someone could unlock a lockbox for him. I offer to do it on Holiestcow, since he has a lot of these things to spare.

Corpsereaper accepts my offer, and I log into Holiestcow. I whisper Corpsereaper as soon as I enter the game world:

He doesn’t reply. A quick /who shows me that he is now in Dragon Soul. So I tell him why I am whispering him, just in case he forgot who I was.

Wow, OK. I guess he doesn’t like being bothered while raiding. Needless to say, this is a bit extreme, so I log back into Navitas and whisper him again, hoping for an explanation.

Either someone else has taken over control of the character, or this guy really hates me for some bizarre reason.

Not that he’s telling me, of course. Determined to get some answers, I log into Luxxoria and whisper him yet again. I also open a ticket. If I can get a 3-hour ban for talking to people like this, then I expect the same thing to happen with him.

I make a good point here, I think. Is an explanation really too much to ask for?

What. The. Fuck. Racism? Contrary to what I said, I’ve only been racist once in my whole life, and that was when I was in secondary school. I was about 14 or 15 and incredibly stupid. I still regret it to this day. However, I’ve never been racist in WoW. Not once.

I hope Corpsereaper has sufficient evidence to back up these wild allegations.

Hmmm, I tell him that he’s still not explaining himself, and he apologises. Sorry mate, but I’m just not buying it.

Good thing I didn’t accept his apology. I knew he was only taking the piss.

Regardless of what he thinks, he hasn’t ‘won’. At the time of writing this, my ticket was still up. However, I realise I forgot to mention something, so I log into Luxxor, my Rogue, and send him one final piece of logic.

I actually forgot to add what he said about my mother to the ticket. But the fact remains I had the final word. But just for the hell of it, here’s three more:

UP YOURS CORPSEREAPER.

Spore Loser

While doing Auction House chores on Luxxoria, a Hunter named Sporezx puts out an advert in the Trade Channel saying that he was selling cheap Blackened Dragonscale.

A quick look at the Auction House reveals he is selling a few individual items for 29 gold each. Looking further, I see that someone is selling whole stacks for 195 gold (which is 9 gold 75 silver per scale).

So, I point this out to him.

If you don’t care – why respond to what I said?

Oh yeah, I definitely touched a nerve here.

If you don’t care about something, don’t reply. It’s as simple as that.

I was on Luxxoria, doing my AH business, when I decide to sell some portals. So, I put my advert out. Within seconds, I get this:

Troll me and log off. Nice.

Wait, let me rephrase that. He trolls me on one character, then logs onto another in order to troll me some more.

One slash command later, my portal advert addon is sending an advert saying that I too am offering free portals. Naboombu logs off (again), and this whole thing is over as quickly as it began.
