View Full Version : Selling fake items



Alarke

So about 4 days ago I ran into Vitruvian trying to sell a 2x a day self-control item, obviously not real, and he admitted to me it wasnt real. I told not to pull that crap and if I see him try and sell more fake stuff, I would remove his head. So not an hour later he is selling a 3x per day self-control item! I confront him about it and he claims he's selling it for Leff. Granted Leff is selling one, but clearly he wouldnt ask Vitruvian to sell it, and the description was horribly off. So I removed his head with some plasma.

Today I'm sitting in the park and he exchanges a reinforced shield with a 5th training (warrior??) for 25k, claiming it was 2x. The warrior found out it wasnt and asked for his silver back and Vitruvian for his silver back. I took the guy and gave him 25k, and said Vitruvian would be my problem. I fogged to him back at the park, and the following occurred:

Vitruvian whispers, "Sorry pal."

Vitruvian whispers, "Sorry pal."

>look vitru
You see Vitruvian the Locksmith.
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
He appears to be youthful and taller than average. He has grey-green eyes and nut brown skin. He has long, tied back black hair streaked with silver. He has a delicate face.
He has a thin curved silver spike in his lip, and a deep red rose tattoo on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a gold ring, a dark leather locksmith's toolkit, a small golden Paupers pin, a black fur hide belt pouch, an immaculate ebon black rose, a polished earring, a blackened silver filigree headband, an antique dark velvet cloak, a suede lockpick wrist sheath, an elegant sterling silver armband, some crossed black leather back-sheaths, a triangular silver-threaded pouch, a tiny latched silver cigar case, some fingerless dark leather gloves, some black leg greaves, an onyx-inlaid black leather thigh-sheath, a battle-worn dark vultite buckler, a stylized onyx mammoth buckle, a rune-etched black leather belt, some reinforced black leather pants, a pair of snug jet black boots, a crystal amulet, and some bronzed black leather brigandine.
>
You quietly whisper to Vitruvian, "Sorry?"
>
You laugh at Vitruvian!

Vitruvian whispers, "I warned you of interaction."

So at this point he sneaks away. He apparently warned me 4 days ago when id killed him for trying to sell me fake items. He since has whispered to me, and thought to me, so....

You focus your mind on Vitruvian and think: "first of all, you have no right to warn me of interaction, second of all, you broke it by speaking to me.. i was actually fogging to the person you stole 25k from, not you... i implore you to take your case up a level."
Roundtime: 5 sec.

You hear the subdued thoughts of Vitruvian touch your mind:
"how about you get a life and stay out of my affairs"
>
You focus your mind on Vitruvian and think: "how about you start having legitimate affairs and you can stay alive"
Roundtime: 5 sec.
>
You focus your mind on Vitruvian and think: "when your "affairs" consist if lying to take a 5th trainings 25k, which mind you was his entire bank account, you can be assured I will not put up with it"
Roundtime: 5 sec.

You hear the subdued thoughts of Vitruvian touch your mind:
"lets go right now"
>
You hear the subdued thoughts of Vitruvian touch your mind:
"well see what u put up with"
>
You focus your mind on Vitruvian and think: "oh?"
Roundtime: 5 sec.
>
You hear the subdued thoughts of Vitruvian touch your mind:
"for sure"

You focus your mind on Vitruvian and think: "where would you like to meet?"
Roundtime: 5 sec.
>
You hear the subdued thoughts of Vitruvian touch your mind:
"I dont care"
>
You focus your mind on Vitruvian and think: "just meet me outside of the north gate, then"
Roundtime: 5 sec.
>
I walk from the Park to outside the gate, and then this occurs:

>go gate
[Wehnimer's, Outside Gate]
Citizens, merchants and assorted dregs of society jostle against you before the great wooden gates of Wehnimer's Landing. Harried guards and militiamen try to keep the chaos to a minimum, but it is hard to keep track of those entering, let alone leaving, this large trading post. A dirt path encircling the wooden palisade of the town leads east and southwest. Nailed prominently to the wooden wall beside the gate is a sign you really should read. You also see a short sword, a Wayside Inn and a massive wheeled tower.
Also here: Lucabrasi
Obvious paths: north, east, southwest, northwest
>stance o
You are now in an offensive stance.
>
The voice of Vitruvian asks, "Brought some buddies?"

You say, "Buddies? No."

You chuckle.
>
>look lucab
You see Lucabrasi Mancini.
He appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
He appears to be ancient and shorter than average. He has sparkling violet eyes and bronze skin. He has raggedly cut, unruly titian hair. He has a long face, a red nose and bushy eyebrows.
He has a bent fishhook tattoo on his ear, and a black shark's tooth tattoo on his wrist.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a sonic falchion in his right hand and a sonic shield in his left hand.
He is wearing a coral and ivory wristlet, a pair of salt-stained boots, some black bloused pantaloons, a trident-set blue imflass censer, a bait bag, a tackle box, a weathered salt-stained jacket, a narrow stingray tail belt, a tooth-fringed grey sharkskin vest, some hooded ocean blue leathers, some supple seafarer's gloves, a blinking fisheye ring, a gold trident-etched ring, a bleached bone skull periapt, a shell-fringed grey leather neckpouch, a black eyepatch, a silver ship's anchor earring, and a salt-stained fishing hat.
>
The voice of Vitruvian asks, "Who is thatb then?"
>
You say, "I dunno, they were here when I arrived."
>
You say, "If you want to go somewhere else that's fine."
>
The voice of Vitruvian says, "Sit down."

You chuckle.

You sit down.
>
You say, "This is a joke.."
>
The voice of Vitruvian asks, "How old are ye?"
>
Vitruvian leaps from hiding to attack!
Vitruvian swings a wicked sylvan-crafted axe at you!
AS: +273 vs DS: +420 with AvD: +41 + d100 roll: +80 = -26
A clean miss.

>prep 311
You chant a reverent litany, clasping your hands while focusing upon the Blinding spell...
Your spell is ready.
>
>cast vitru
You gesture at Vitruvian.
CS: +401 - TD: +119 + CvA: +2 + d100: +2 - -5 == +291
Warding failed!
As your faith overcomes Vitruvian's weakened defenses, you sense the ecstatic bloodlust of the Berserker flowing through you.
Vitruvian appears dazed! Vitruvian appears distraught and falls to his kneels in divine reverence!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
>
You stand back up.
>
Vitruvian just left.

So I stand around for a second and lose interest. Wasn't actually going to kill him again, just wanted him to realize he was in over his head, and hopefully get him to stop being a complete moron. A few minutes later this happens:

* Vitruvian joins the adventure.

You hear the subdued thoughts of Vitruvian touch your mind:
"truce"

You hear the subdued thoughts of Vitruvian touch your mind:
"you win"

You hear the subdued thoughts of Vitruvian touch your mind:
"i wont sell any fake junk anymore, or at least till I can beat you ...lol"

You focus your mind on Vitruvian and think: "good, if I see it or hear about it, ya better be in another town"
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Report him. Lying about items and selling them is against policy.

Aye, definately do a REPORT about it and then follow up on it with an Assist.

At least to put on record why you killed him despite his claim of having Warn Interacted you.

The Lands do not need those kind of scammers.

It's one of the BEST things about WoW.. you don't have to guess about items. They tell you exactly what they do.

I always thought the 'mystery' about items sucked bad and was ripe for scams.

Can't be blacklisted in today's Gemstone. My suggestion to everyone is to report your every step out of line and you will finally get banned because you are too fucking stupid to be playing a text game.

Umm, lemme see now...that's 5 fucks, 1 shit, 1 bitch, 1 balss (? - spellcheck is a beautiful thing...) and 1 ass (that's an understatement!) in 1 post from a "nice" guy who is angry that he got busted for scamming youngin's with limited funds. What's wrong with that picture?!?:rant:

I think its very amusing that he comments on a post about him, not trying to justify his actions, but to make an ass of himself...

Balss... :lol:

Definately uncool. I would stop it by any means at my disposal if I saw someone taking advantage of new players... If it landed me in the consultation lounge all the better to expose it for what it is.

Using RP or joking isnt an excuse for scamming new folks. There is no excuse, it just highlights the mental and moral deficencies of the scammer when it happens.

I just wanted to apolgize for the way I acted yesterday. The note was returned to Drakkonen along with an apology. Again, I am sorry.

Alarke

It wasn't Drakkonen, so i hope Mort's note was returned also.
