Bera is infested with scammers

But then again, all servers have their fair share of scammers.
However, I've done a good job swerving scammers till today; I finally been thwarted. Hate when you sell to someone
you knew for a while to only be scammed out of the blue.

[quote=Sinknight]@hyperfire7: Yeet, you ain't trolling lol you actually took time to construct a argument; you realized after I responded to your comment that you needed to throw a come back and it failed sadly. You just want to consider it a troll b/c someone else said it was, ya ain't slick. Now take your loss and walk out the door or comment back to me and take another loss for making yourself look dumb for no apparent reason.[/quote]
I didn't know taking 70 seconds to write a foolhardy "argument" was enough to categorize it as non-trolling statement, but ok.
Here's your trophy! It's covered in noise-dampening foam perfect for absorbing words and converting them nothingness. Us trolls bow down to you sire!
Now I bid you adieu!

[quote=hyperfire7]But who is the one who made a thread titled "Bera is infested with scammers"? Thus you are claiming that lots of potential traders in Bera are scammers (because according to dictionary.com, infested means: "to be numerous in, as anything undesirable or troublesome), which is not at all true.

But again, if you are not referring to anyone, why did you make a title with "Bera is infested with scammers"? I don't know who is the one without a brain here.

Mkay.

I really did think this discussion was pointless from the start. Why did you make a post about a scammer anyways? Boo hoo we all get scammed one way or another, and there are lots of players who got scammed goods of much higher monetary value than a measly 1.8b/$10. Grow up.
And if "finding legit ways to NX trade conveniently" was your main point of this thread, you shouldn't have started it with a contentious thread title. "Tips on improving NX trade methods" would've been far more apropos.

Whoa, now YOU'RE the one putting words into my mouth. I never said I never got scammed, YOU'RE the one who made up that nonsense.
Oh and did you realize that I capitalized "YOU'RE"? You claim that I'm without "a brain and a 3rd grade reading comprehension" when YOU'RE saying stuff like "YOUR definitely not doing anything to...."
Wow, do you want to go back to 3rd grade with me? Let's study basic grammar together! We'll make a great duo since we're both without brains![/quote]

1.) You claim that argument is false but you don't provide any institution nor any evidence. Plus, I know my claim is valid b/c everyone is commenting in confirmation (S/O to those 14 ppl who liked my comment sneak dissin ya.) You don't know whose the one with the brain because YOU DON'T HAVE ONE! (You honestly set your self up for that one.) Enough the empty claims and just admit you have no basis to deny the scammer populace; its most definitely there. LOL, I am sure I know what infested means I have no clue why you needed to define it, my premise nevertheless is the same. Your definition even goes forth to expanding my claim, IT IS "TROUBLESOME."

2.) LOL, did you just ask WHY I made this post after I literally just made a rant a post ago about why I did. OMG, you even go on to say we ALL will get scammed which supports my claim more that there needs to be measures to augment and fix the issue (If you haven't gotten it yet, this is why I made the post smfh.) At this point you continue to degrade your argument with faulty logic, I mean you rashly consider 1.8b to be nothing (which is COMPLETELY subjective, anyone would take a free 1.8b regardless of in-game status.)

3.) Lord it evens gets worse, usually when people lose the main crux of the argument they have to resort to grammar. A simple grammar error won't amount to the massive crackdown I did to your argument. With that satisfaction I'm sure you will come again with a feeble attempt; more or less fun for me

LOL, one your yet again augmenting my argument. I never said all the people I trade with ARE scammers, just FeelSongs so please don't put words in my mouth. [/quote]

[quote=Sinknight]If you had a brain and 3rd grade reading comprehension you would infer that the people I'm referring too are not my friends and associates or random people who want to buy my nx (come on think a bit.)[/quote]

[quote=Sinknight]My pool of "reliable" friends aren't always going to contest to the common masses who will be more available to buy my nx; in fact I sell to them more than my own friends. I am able to get transactions done through voucher checks and since I consider my scammer a friend, there would be no inherent reason for a vouch. It's really not that complex, your just assuming things that you clearly know isn't the case...[/quote]
Mkay.

[quote=Sinknight]AND WHAT? If you think this discussion is pointless then your clearly the opposition. People have been trying to find legit ways to nx trade conveniently since day one, what kind of thought process were you running when you typed that?[/quote]

[quote=Axnslicer]If you associate with legit, well respected guilds, you'll find more trustworthy people. I can name several guilds where if I could safely give someone a 20 B item w/o collat, because I know they're careful about who they recruit. And I'm comfortable vouching for my friends for amounts ranging between 5-100 B.

Broad generalizations are rarely accurate. Specific circumstances tend to have much greater influence on any particular situation.

In this case, it is extremely unlikely that any one particular world has a significantly greater fraction of scammers than any other. The people and guilds you associate with, as well as your personality and mindset, are much more important factors when determining the trustworthiness of your social circle.[/quote]

Really? I hate that word. "I'm legit brah, you can trust."

[quote=hyperfire7]And yet you made a thread with a generalizing title saying that "Bera is infested with scammers," when you just admitted that only one friend scammed you and how the rest of your friends "are reliable."
If you're going to have a discussion--however pointless it may be--at least pick a side.
And because this discussion is pointless, I'm going to withdraw.[/quote]
