Title: When I drop weapons.....
Post by: zanzibar on August 18, 2005, 08:55:09 am
You should only pick up one or two, and only if you need them.  They\'re usually better than what you can buy from Harniquist, but they\'re not usually worth much in the way of tria.

you cant tell people what to do with things that you discard.

Wow, sherif Drey is fast on the mark. I wouldn\'t want to have to duel with him. ;)

Zanzibar, if you want for people to only get one you will probably have to give them out personally.

Mhm.


When I\'m done in the arena, I usually have a number of weapons which are better than what you can get at Harniquist.  The most powerful ones (Dark, Frosty, and Fire) I keep for my guild or to sell.  However, the ones which are less powerful (damage in the 20\'s or lower) can\'t be sold because the people who want them don\'t have the money.  I might sell one of those for 1k-2k, where-as I\'ve sold four of the higher powered ones for 20,000 tria.  It just isn\'t worth it to sell them, but it\'s a waste to sell them back to harniquist when there are people who could use them.  So I just drop them in a pile somewhere.

The problem is that people get greedy and run up to grab as many as they can instead of just what they need.

Is there a guild out there who deals in charity?  I\'ve asked this question before to no answer, but if there were, then I\'d just give them the weapons to distribute.

Bodacher bows down to Saint Shalmaneser!


Really, do you think anyone is buying this tripe? You want us to believe you\'ve become altruistic? Gimme a break!

Imagine, rudeness and lies from a Dragon Council member!  Who would have thought!

In all honesty, I feel sorry for Meriner and a select few others who are given a bad name by the rest.  But who are you trying to fool?

Well, actually you are doing a good deal of AFAICS completely unjustified bashing of the DC. And I find your ingame behaviour less than pristine, to say the least. So keep your accusations firmly in check, zanzibar! :tdown:

Edit: There was no lie, and also no rudeness in Bodacher\'s post, which cannot be said about your own. I prefer his company over yours by millions any day! :tdown:

Do you honestly think this comment wasn\'t rude?  Honestly, now.

Not at all, good sir.  Allow me to demonstrate.


\"Really, do you think anyone is buying this tripe? You want us to believe you\'ve become altruistic? Gimme a break!\"


Now, I say this is rude.  Someone else here said it isn\'t.

Most people are intelligent enough to see this thread, laugh at the posts (and posters), and then skip over it without adding their own comments.  Guess what category the few that actually made a post fit into. :-D

This was not rude, it just wasn\'t nice. However, from what I have seen in your posts, you are most definitely not in the position to complain about these things.

Even without any other post of you, these two completely suffice to show what you are really like. Instead of arguing properly, you respond with completely pointless and arrogant statements which are obviously meant to do nothing but provoke.
But this is not all:

ties in with that neatly. What you are doing is to try to get others to agree with you by implying they are more intelligent if they do (thereby trying to implicitely detract credibility fom those who disagree with you and stated it). Then you proceed to direct another attack at those who posted, trying to score more sympathy for yourself and further detract from their credibility. This is done, typical for you, in a way that avoids stating things directly, so you can wiggle out of it should someone try to hold you responsible for it. This is, at best, cowardly, but I am more inclined to believe in trolling on your part. You are obviously ridiculing Drey, especially since you attacked him and then added the \":-D\", to add icing to the provocation, not to mention the arrogant phrasing of \"Allow me to demonstrate\" in this context.

Overall, you have, to me, proven that you are most definitely a substantial part of the problem. :tdown:

Naw. :-D  Maybe you can\'t understand it, but I agree with Drey 100% that you can\'t force people to behave a certain way.  However, it would be \"nice\" if people followed certain codes -- hint hint.
