How do you pay a Thief Back from stealing from you? : GW Discussion

Hey all,

I don't like to !@#$%^* about things but this warrants it. I recenlty did a deal with a guy named The Will Of God. I was paying for a fiery dragon sword with some crafting items and some gold. At the last second when I was hitting accept he took took the sword and it was too late. He told me he would be back but of course he never returned. Is there a way to pay this jagoff back? I'm dying to know. Please can the noob jokes. It's one thing to find exploits in the game. It's another to screw a fellow player. That is the worst scum there is.

Well, I can't think of a way to bother him. He probably has you on /ignore. Perhaps everyone here could harass him? I know I will Other than that, I have no idea. I too have been screwed out of my money for a droknar's run. He just /ignore me and I am left with my arse in the breeze

ive been screwed a few times at fow/uw for those group things
u pay the leader and the leave
stupid asses

so whats the probleme? , u lost 5k for droknar run? , and u 125 gp for uw/fissure runs? why u want to revenge for such a lil amount .

fiery dragon was max dmg? how much gold u gave? what materials ...

no ways to make him pay just continue to play.

report to ANet maybe.

i know from experiance, that theyres nothing they will do about it. pm me ill help you out myself. but im not promising nething.

I been thinking of creating a "Scammer" section to my site Register to unlock hidden link, so people can identify those who scam others as well as their guild name with screen shots of them doing it. If anyone has any suggestions on this please feel free to post here to let me know. Thanks

This is what ANet sent me after I reported the jerk and gave them all the info.

What chaffs me is that even though I'm the injured party I have no right to resolution of this. This is anoher example of the corporate brush off.
Gotta love it.

I totally agree, and thats why I think creating such a page as stated above will at least dim their chances at doing the same thing to another player. Theres just so much a person can take before we the players should take action ourselves.

nah thay dont do a thing

if u get screwed its your fauilt and u should be more cairful next time

so if sum one says IMM FROM GW DEV TEAM do not listen to em

may i quote

"As for a "Guild Wars special team" there is no such thing we would also like to point out that at no time will you be contacted in game by a GM or any one that works on Guild Wars. So if you have any one else saying these things to you please report there names to us so we can investigate the issue further."

yer i was askin cuz i sold sum dude a crap sword for 8k and he found out he got over charged so a dude said if i dont give him it back ill be banned
lol

If you have screen shots, this would be a help. Although I don't believe that Anet will do anything unless there are multiple complaints. This is because you could photoshop an image easily enough.

Just try to let the public know that the guy is a scammer, and post your screenies in a complaints thread in one of your local forums. Anet staff do actually read the forums, so if you can start a thread with screenshots, and get a few others to verify that the person is a scammer, there's a good chance the guy will be banned.

trust me, i was a noob a while back, when i just started playing guildwars, and i had a decent supply of money, close to 500k from some of my friends.

Well, i saw a "maxxed out cesta" for blood magic necros... and it gave you "30 energy / 30 health" - so i was like OMG ITS A GOLD MAXXED OUT CESTA... and well, it was just a collector's item, that had upgrades... and was only 27 energy, still 30 health though.

Anyway, I paid this bastard (or !@#$%^*, the name was "Necro Babe", but was a guy) - 100plat, thinking it was the rarest item of it's type in the game... well a 500gold collector's item isn't the rarest item in the game... anyway, now i have more energy than an elementalist as my necro, but i paid the price of 100k to get it... luckily i got a gold blood magic maxxed truncheon from a friend for 25k the next week... but either way, scammers suck... especially when they take advantage of newcomers to the game, i didn't even feel like playing after i lost that much money, i was like !@#$%^* this !@#$%^*... heh

But anyway, note to you guys - when in doubt, don't !@#$%^* spend that much money. Just play the game and earn it yourself, that's what i do now,

Scammers suck, and ArenaNet sucks too, they won't do !@#$%^* to help the scammed. They promote it.

!@#$%^* you Arena.net (not really, i love your game, but seriously, be nicer to people who get !@#$%^* over by the people with no lives who love to torture us)

not true i know this guy he scammes people for his beniffit any way he has had 2 accounts susspended for skamming.
