This player is going around telling people that they are going to buy things from you, sending you to some out of the way city/zone saying he will buy them, and then he's not there and claims nothing of buying/selling anything.
This player also does the same thing if you're lfg with the same similar results.
He stated ingame that he is going to remake his character just so he can be taken off ignore.
Just a heads up.

He sent me a tell for a group in Mistmoore, I went there, and he responded with having no knowledge of any previous conversation. He's just trying to waste people's time.

That is uber shitty considering how difficult it is for some people to find groups and the travel involved to get to certain places. I would go as far as to say that somebody like this should just get banned and be done with it.

I don't think it should be illegal to play pranks on people. Scamming them for items and money? Ok... but just because you're annoying and you play pranks on people? I think that's a bit far. I doubt you'd even get a warning on live for that kind of stuff.

Well he's also sending people tells that he needs a port for money etc, or he's going to buy something from someone, and then he's nowhere to be found. That's still along the lines of "scamming" but I guess not.

ignore doesn't matter when you can make a brand new character and put on /anon in about 1.5 minutes.
So, yeah . Ban is the only option.

That's all well and good but this isn't live. What would you say to running from Freeport to Mistmoore (off hours so you couldn't find a port) expecting a good exp group that you have been waiting for for hours, only to find out it was a "simple harmless prank".
People like that don't belong on this server and since the guy isn't paying to play he really doesn't have any such rights. You weed people like this out early and set an example that this is not the server you go to for this sort of thing.

I'm glad you don't run the show here then. You don't ban people for annoying you. You've made a few broad and rather draconian statements like no one has any rights since we don't pay (this server exists on donations, incidentally) and people like that don't belong on the server... and you weed people like that out. That's absurd. There will always be trolls and people that do that kind of stuff with global OOC. You take the good with the bad. You don't just ban every annoying person on the server.

Garbage players like this don't deserve any consideration or tolerance. This type of person doesn't add anything to the server and causes only hurt feelings and anger. I would ban someone for such behavior. He's free to go play WOW or EQLive and cause grief there. EQ has generally had better quality players and behavior like this needs to be shut down asap.

I stand by my comment.
You are trying to compare what this guy does with /ooc spam.
It's not the same thing.
I don't think I have to explain why but for the sake of not having to post about this again I will:
OOC can be filtered
ooc spam can be /ignore'd
players can be perma-muted by GM's without being banned.
I'm not saying that people who spam merely for the sake of pissing people off should be tolerated, but at least they are not directly stealing game time away from other players.
Anyone who only gets to play an hour or two a day will understand what I'm talking about.

I think most people act on grouping situations with some amount of good faith. There's very little for anyone to gain by "conning" you in this way, so it seems rather pointless to make someone travel unnecessarily.
Never in all my days of everquest (and there are many) have I asked someone to remove /role so I could verify what zone they're in. Nor have I had anyone ask me to remove /role.
It's nice to be discriminating based on whether or not you know the player when you're level 50 and you know most of the other level 50's. When you're level 25 or so, you know far fewer people, and are thus forced to take more chances. Although very few people consider this to be taking a chance. Thus, I don't think your analogy of lemmings from a bridge holds up.

Agree fully. This isn't a standard....hey, pay my buddy the 200p and i'll get you the xyz item in abc zone on my other toon type request. This is a simple, hey looking for a group, we have a spot open, "oh ok"....or hey, Im paying 50p for a port to BB....i mean, this is standard stuff and not something you would normally 'qualify' a person over.
The guy is a douche. I'm not a huge advocate of banning because where does it stop/end and according to who....thankfully I haven't seen any powertripping by admins here....but I also don't know of a good solution either. I think he harms the game in general with this behavior ....fuck it, ban him.

When I started live, it was the week of kunark release (running took much longer, etc.). I know it only took one or two instances of me LFG, finding a group across the world, running out there, only to find that my spot was filled or the group disbanded, that I started asking more questions. "Who is your healer?" "How long have you been there / will you be there?" "Are you in a guild?" ..etc.. Seriously, it's not that hard to figure out if someone is full of shit or not.

I'm not saying that at all.
I'm saying that by the time you've hit level 50, you know most of the high levels on this server (and certainly all of the guilds you'd expect them to belong to). If you got a tell from an unguilded 50 you'd never heard of, you might have a little suspicion about it and proceed accordingly. Especially if they appear anon.
At lower levels, but in the 20's especially (when porting is still pretty costly), you still likely know only a few people; and most people aren't in guilds. Determining when you should and shouldn't be suspicious of a player is much more difficult in this case.
On the other hand, I wouldn't travel much at this level, I might go from Sol to Guk, but I'm not taking a boat or paying for a port for a group. It's just not worth it. Sticking to a continent/area until you're high enough that 30p for a port just isn't alot of money is a good plan. But not because you're going to get scammed like this. Because excessive travel time for a group that may or may not be splitting up in 45 minutes just doesn't make a lot of sense.

I was contacted to make a banded set of armor and deliver it to rivervale for a negotiated price of 90p. While I was low on plat as i had just made a deal and bought some deufrenite i had enough to make a set. Triik ordered a set of medium banded to be delivered so on good faith i made a set and ran to rivervale only to find he wanted small banded. I began to make the small banded set and told them i only had enough plat to make a few pieces and they would need to buy those pieces then i could make more. I was told that was acceptable and when I opened up the trade window he refused to pay then picked a random pc in zone and said they would pay.
It was at this time i seen the ooc chat about triik and just accepted what happened and moved on. Tried to sell what i had made before i had to log for a week but sadly could not. So my toon is sitting with 2 sets of banded one medium and one small ill sell it when i log on after spring break.
The point: If the people can not in good faith trust the people placing orders with us for goods or items the way orders are taken, placed and purchased can be altered forever. Half now and the other half later or whatever steps need to be taken where we wont get our pocket books broken.

On that note....i retract my previous statement and offer my most sincere apologies.

I was contacted to make a banded set of armor and deliver it to rivervale for a negotiated price of 90p. While I was low on plat as i had just made a deal and bought some deufrenite i had enough to make a set. Triik ordered a set of medium banded to be delivered so on good faith i made a set and ran to rivervale only to find he wanted small banded. I began to make the small banded set and told them i only had enough plat to make a few pieces and they would need to buy those pieces then i could make more. I was told that was acceptable and when I opened up the trade window he refused to pay then picked a random pc in zone and said they would pay.
It was at this time i seen the ooc chat about triik and just accepted what happened and moved on. Tried to sell what i had made before i had to log for a week but sadly could not. So my toon is sitting with 2 sets of banded one medium and one small ill sell it when i log on after spring break.
The point: If the people can not in good faith trust the people placing orders with us for goods or items the way orders are taken, placed and purchased can be altered forever. Half now and the other half later or whatever steps need to be taken where we wont get our pocket books broken.
This whole post is whining garbage.
Next time, consider not being quite so gullible and demand cash in advance.
I don't disagree with a 3 day ban for this guy, serves him right. ..but seriously, this was your own faults.

God, you're such a whiner. Shame on you. Do some due diligence in the future on whom you choose to interact with.

That makes NO sense. So what's to prevent people from getting ripped off who are paying in advance? I suppose they can come here to warn others and then get ridicule from you for being so gullible and that the next time they should demand the product first.
There are a lot of griefers out there. This is why Verant / SOE had to make so many changes to the game. Things like not allowing other players to loot corpses with /consent.. things like preventing players from switching things out of the trade window without having to cancel it.... things like offering shared bank space to prevent scammers from offering to hold something as a means of transferring stuff between characters.. and the list goes on..

Don't bother, Hasbinbad is pot committed to his position. He's too prideful to say he was wrong.

If there's a punishment befitting spamming ooc there should be a punishment befitting this. 3 days sounds about right, hopefully more if he keeps it up. Its not even really my time I'm worried about losing, I'm concerned with how a player like this affects the incoming player-base.
How any of you could say Giniue pig? (Sorry.. new to the forum and lazy) is over-the-top by saying he should be banned is making a bad judgement call.
I have waited hours for groups; made a trip to uguk from unrest by foot; and then come to find out they filled my spot.
Same principal except there isn't even a spot to begin with. This is a hoax. Ban him for repeating this and show the other losers you can't play like that on this server.

I'm actually quite willing to admit when I'm wrong. It's one of the things I pride myself on (c wat i did thurr?).
However, coddling idiots isn't something I will ever get behind.

You're saying that someone with enough time invested in a tradeskill would try and scam someone for 100 plat?
I think the BANHAMMER would deter.
The issue isn't that tho, and your squirmy words do nothing but fall flat on their faces. The issue is players trusting "throwaway" characters. If you don't do your part to find out if the guy you're running to meet is legit, then I'm glad your time got wasted, because you're a fucking sucker.

Go back to your shit server and keep the filth there.
You'd be just as much as a piece of shit on a pvp server doing it there, too.

Give the GM's a break with all the banhammer req's. People like this should be (and usually are) policed by the community with warnings and public service threads like this one.

Nope, taking time off inbetween pulls to check the forums.
I'm damned glad that my life isn't so bad that I have to go on servers that I don't even play on, to be a douchebag, for "fun". It's quite telling of your mental condition however.

I made the character Triik (it was a randomly generated name) to troll OOC, and felt the name was appropriate for playing tricks on players. All in good fun (for me, of course!). I did this for about 45minutes, laughed about the thread that was made about me with some people on AIM,
You have a sad, boring life.
Cheers!

A player's time is at a premium. Being chumped into traveling, paying for a port, or taking the boat and running is not something that should be taken lightly. It's difficult enough to get time to play and this game does take time to get places. Someone who takes pleasure in burning others time does go against the server rules. He should be banned if that is what his intent is. Other people who are just rude by nature may not have their entire intent slated to screw people over.

Super Bluebie Server!
-Every interaction begins and ends with pleases and thank yous (or gracious equivalents)
-"<3" at least once per conversation
-Must drive Prius
-Favor-one-uppers (Since you resurrected me for free yesterday, I bought an FBSS for your twink monk! :D <3)
-Over-tip your porters, resurrectors and buffers.
I would switch immediately. (srsly)

This just supports my assumption that most of the problems on this server are caused by the pvp community or people waiting for red99. From the forum to in game, all the people who have the worst reputations or cause the most problems are those who are waiting to play on the pvp server, or who used to play on vztz. Thank god I have no intention of ever playing there.

Shave your feet!
great thread guys glad to have been apart of such a magical event
I don't think it should be illegal to play pranks on people. Scamming them for items and money? Ok... but just because you're annoying and you play pranks on people? I think that's a bit far. I doubt you'd even get a warning on live for that kind of stuff.
I strongly disagree, given the choice I'd be much prefer to be scammed out of pixels then scammed out of my time.
I consider this much more ban worthy then even cheating, given that someone doing this is having a much more direct negative impact on players then the upper guilds using cheats to out poopsock each other. 300+ cheaters and I didn't notice, and it didn't take any enjoyment away from me, however one guy pulling this stunt would surely ruin a night on p99.
