Damn wish I could remember who that was, maybe Jettkins, that BDA human monk? His name is close to that.

A friend and I did this back on live when we were unscrupulous (without scruples) teenagers. Bottom line is, if the person doesn't have the item, or if you arent using a validated third party escrow service or friend middle-manning the transaction, don't do it. Between this scam and another (that I will detail in a moment) a friend and I managed to steal hundreds of thousands (if not millions?) of PP from players on Ayonae Ro. We ended up recruiting others to help us and built a gm-described 'scamming ring' that eventually ended in perma-bans for both of our accounts. We both got a kick out of it until the perma-bans came down, and even while the GM was talking to us we were both cheering irl for attracting so much attention. Apparently it was a big deal - the gms had become so swamped with complaints that they had to do something about it. It's the only time ive ever heard of someone getting a perma-ban for scamming in EQ (or any mmo for that matter) That being said, we really were assholes. I can't have that much sympathy for the people we scammed because they really were too trusting to the point of being stupid, but honestly it doesnt matter. It was still wrong. You are stealing. You can justify it anyway you want, but at the end of the day if you are doing this kind of shit you are a terrible person, and have serious issues. Obviously my little speech here isnt going to convince anyone who does this to stop, but I do hope it educates some people in scamming - be smart! If you believe this kind of crap you deserve to have your items stolen (even if its still very wrong)! Here's the other way we did it (this was so fucking effective... you wouldn't believe the sheer amount of pp we stole using this method): Say you're selling or trading an item, meet up with the person and put the item in the trade window. Keep cilcking cancel and entering the trade again saying you're sorry, you've got really bad lag and to just have a bit of patience. Keep doing this a few more times, putting the item in the window and clicking cancel, make sure they get several chances to see you actually have the item, and then tell them to quicky put the money up when you have the item up and click trade so we can 'get this over with'. Put the item up there a few more times while they are putting the money up and clicking trade, and finally, the last time you do it, switch the item out for something that looks identical. If you did it right, they shouldnt even check the item and boom, you've got your xxxxx plat. Some of you may already know about this scam (it was pretty popular on live, if you got screwed by this method on live i appologize, it may have been our fault), but for those who dont, if someone is acting this way i would just walk away from the trade and come back later when they aren't 'lagging'. The bottom line is if someone intends to scam you this way, you arent getting that item no matter how many times they put the item in that trade window. So thats my spiel. Scammers are fucked in the head, they're pieces of shit, and they should all burn. But if you fall for a scam, you really need to wise up. Judging by the size i think this post ended up being, thats my 50cp =P | |||

a lot of people that play this have social disorders which may lead them to be more trusting than they should, i do feel kind of bad for them because the people who do not get scammed are usually the assholes like me. i give the items back or give them tons of money that ive scammed from other people if i feel bad.. so im not a complete sociopath. the reason i do it is because i laugh so hard, since the beginning of my everquest career i remember stealing from people and the official GMs over on vazaelle used to get a kick out of it, they never banned me, they just made me give the items back, threw my in the qeynos catacombs jail, ported my on top of oasis mountain and threw me off, it was pretty fun. I was just a child then, probably 12 or 13 years old and they knew i was and knew i was just trying to have fun, but then one day i finally geared up with scams and leveled a ranger to lvl 40 then i discovered the infamous sand giants in oasis and spectre trains, i got lev and ran to the dock and just slaughtered all the noobs (back when they mobs would aggro the first person u trained on... ohhh those were the days) you should really change the game to where skeletons and giants and what not aggro people u train over it would make the game much more fun with me. GMs here dont even bother banning my ip anymore they try to trick me into progessing so they can ban me but i can do it incognito and i have yet to have my lvl 60 banned here.. it will never happen, and i will never stop, whenever im bored i release/renew my ip and troll troll troll till i cant troll no more. you mine as well just shut down the server. i was raised by my mother and my dad worked and traveled all the time and made tons of money so ive always been a sheltered boy with dream of becoming a thug gangsta ***** which i am now but im still rich because my dad died and left me a million bucks but all i do is play pc games because im scared of running out of money so i just try to live cheap lifestyle of computer gaming and kayaking on the ocean in front of my house in boca grande, fl. I am 25 years old and set for life until obama prints all the money and makes my million bucks worthless, i drive a 10,000 dollar car, i wear walmart clothes, im in great shape with a 6 pack and huge biceps, i love my life and ill never stop trolling project 1999 because it is illegal, you are stealing. i used to smoke weed but i quit because it cost to much and i would end up smoking an ounce of dro a day at my peak and i would quickly run out of money doing that every day so i quit and last time i smoked weed i thought i was dying of a heart attack and freaked out so im completely sober now and its awesome i am somewhat of a genius with a 168 iq and will never put it to use because learning is no fun, ill probably start a franchise somewhere like a mcdonalds so i can keep getting guaranteed income but ill never stop winning at this game because its awesome i be trollin all the time while i sit in my guild with my 60 acting like a saint you will never find out who i am and i will never tell you, ive been on p99 since the beginning, in fact within 1 day of starting during the server opening i got banned, i trolled as professor giving you guys excellent tips for gaming and i got banned, i trolled as snakeyez training the noobs are orc camps as a lvl 17 monk and got banned, i scammed as toddler and got "suspended" but never unsuspended which really set me off, i abacab was my best friend and you banned him he was just like me and u banned him for nothing i hope u all die and i hope obama wins and destorys the world

imo your next step is becoming a serial killer. might wanna track his ip down and link to account. if i was a gm and had access prolly what i'd at least try to do. and..... tits or gtfo, i dont see people falling for this unless you built a relationship b4 hand and if you did that i wonder how life for you will be in 20 years. prolly the lonely hermit who smells of BO and spam with an obama phone not tipping pizza delivery drivers.... sigh. i'm pretty sure i know who this is. sounds like an old terris thule player i knew. but mostlikely its someone else since the worlds full of shit heads. if hell did exist... id say enjoy rotting in it.
