A Day In <Fresh>

[Hail]

So I joined Fresh the other day. Everyone seemed to be very welcoming, but things went downhill over the course of just 24 hours.

I had been advertising to buy a pair of GEB's when the player Knocked sent me a tell saying he'd sell me some for 3k. Great, I thought. He proceeded to log over to his alt and told me to meet him in Rivervale. During this time, another player sent me a tell offering to sell me a pair for less. As any reasonable person would, I gave the first guy a chance since he was already meeting me in RV.

Well, this guy died twice to a PKer in Rivervale and kept needing ports back from steamfont. After what was probably an hour ordeal and still no GEBs in hand, I straight out told him I had an offer for less, and asked if he'd at least match the price for me having to wait. "No! I need that extra 200pp for Jboots!", protested Knocked. I attempted to make the argument that I could too claim that I needed to save 200pp for jboots myself, but it fell on deaf ears. And after giving him a fair chance to maintain a deal, I gave up and told him I'd buy it from the other player (also a guildmate, which was a bonus).

Well, this sent Knocked flying off the handle, proceeding to spam me with tells that I'm a "fucking faggot, go back to blue", etc etc. After ignoring his alt just to have him pop back onto his main to continue the harassment, I decided to send Officer of Fresh, Klaatu, a tell explaining the situation in hopes he'd ask him to drop it. For my troubles in hoping democracy would prevail? A guild kick. Despite them supposedly removing this Knocked fellow from guild the next day as apparently this wasn't the first incident he was involved in.

Overall a pretty disappointing experience in a guild I had high hopes for.
