The Trials and Tribulations of LostKnight

[Leone]

It was a good race and you beat me fair and square. As for Operation Sword, I found a LVL 6 or so swordsman and gave him the LVL 20 sword. He walked away without a word!

I'm telling myself he gave me a nod of thanks rather than typing 'thank you'

It was an awesome race, and I see we both continued on to the next one too.

Yup, that’s very common too.

I did have one guy user(5) I was trying to give the Staff that the Blue Vlads drop saying "Sell this", he paused.
(looking at the staff I suppose)
User(5) "No thank you, this is my alt I have lots of money"
I thanked him and wished him a good day. Very nice of him.
They sell for 72k a pop at the pet shop.

Tried giving 5 away this morning. 0 accepted, and two were mages and one a fairy. The three of them were less then (10).
So I tried a few knights I saw ... finally sold them. Can't force people to takes them.

And don't forget that if a players pack is full you cannot give them items as no window pops up.

Also, some players do this on purpose to avoid spam sellers.

Ohhhhhhhhh never thought of that, Wonder what 20 things I could add to my backpack that would ... hmmm ... lvl 0 somethings.
Thanks Ryaca. Good idea!

I'm in a foul mood! That's what a few people in FT World have left me feeling like today.

Day started off well, I was helping a knight(2), "tanking" for him and chatting, he tells me he's been playing the game all of 10 minutes. So I said let's get you some gear. Standing by the portal at the Pet Shop I was in the process of explaining that if he walked onto it he'd be taken to Bank Town when two others approach, Kondor0 or maybe KondorO, an ogre, and RoBBinZon, came with a spawn behind them and KondorO circled the knight. Hitting "Attack" to kill the pirates they dragged behind them I was tele-ported to Bank Town, going back and moving away from the portal to attack I saw my little knight friend die! Going back to bank Town I shouted at them, "YOU KILLED HIM WITH THAT SPAWN!", that's when I followed them around until I got their names. GRRRRRR.

Went back through the portal and on the way back to M 0,0 saw a fairy(3) low-yellow-lined so I killed what was killing her and started helping her. This time asking her to wait I'd hunt for boots, and I read, "I just gave her boots" I look, I see someone(5?5) NICE sent a ty and she mentioned where she could level up. Anyway as I logged out I see she did some awesome levelling. My guess - she is someones alt!

While travelling to Blue Vlad country I found mysel between 2 spam sellers working in unison, lvls(2) and (3) each taking turns until I finally bought a lvl0 blade for 10000 trying to get away from them.

All this did NOT leave me in a good mood... so I backtracked to 'home' and made way do get shields at M -1,0 for hopefully failed crafting with a Mystic Shield. Good area was empty so I started farming for shields.

Had 60 slots, and was thinking 20 shields and 20 each for carbon and iron to start. Had about 10-12 shields and "mini_sound" walks by.

POP

Code: Select all

mini_sound is selling Agile Boots for 4666666

- I hit X
withing seconds:

Code: Select all

mini_sound is selling Agile Boots for 5000000

- I hit X
- and start walking to him to make sure I have the name right, I got it and he ran to the map north of me.

OK, hes gone and I start hunting for shields tapping my screen POP just as I tap the screen, I hit the (insert colourful adjective here) "green check mark".

For me, they are not Spam Sellers, they are common (insert another colourful adjective here) THIEVES and should be jailed! Personally I'd vote for 1 day for every gold coin stolen!

By the time that was over and I "failed" at making the Mystic Shields, I had lost heart in playing more today. I tossed the extra three bars of steel, not even interested in keeping them and sold the shields what were left over.

I still have the $5000000 pair of Agile Boots though! Those I WILL give away, to da(rn) expensive to toss!

And before you ask: Yup, reported it, but really, what can they do? "Watch him"? My word against his.

Edited out Big Red Text

Back tomorrow I hope.

Spam sellers are a murky part of FT. Ignoring is best tactic but not always easy.

It's those bad apples though.

The genuine LVL 0s are the reward when u give them boots, arm or whatever

[LostKnight]

murky? No: thieves! Because I was tapping the screen to move I barely saw the notice, BLINK, 5m gone!

Would you call a pick pocket "murky"?

If "Friend Request" can come in as a /msg why not a "sell" where it doesn't 'interfere' with game play and or

This:
Rule 9.
Reducing game-playing experience of others!

and
Rule 9 b.
Harassment

IMHO!

[Ryaca]

I would fill your pack with stone and when you are fighting a monster and get a drop, drop a stone from your pack and then pick up the item. This way they can't spam sell you.

Not a great plan for crafting tho.

[LostKnight]

I understand what you are saying, I bought enough $6 lvl0 to fill the empty spaces in my bag c/w extra pack after reading what you wrote. But dumped them when I went hunting for shields, see the 5 steps below, why should a user have to do that when there is a way other users can scam you.

Users buy extra backpack space for convenience not to make game play more complicated.

Oh look a lvl200 sword,
1. open pack,
2. scroll to page 3 or page 4 if you have 3 full with non-stones
3. drop a stone
4. close pack
5. pick up lvl200 sword

instead of: pick
Oh look a lvl200 sword, pick up sword.

Our game becomes a little more complicated to accommodate these spammers?

Anyway ... this be the wrong place to discuss this. I was just putting in my post what I went through today.

EDIT: BTW Rule 9 b. Harassment - not the as in the wording of Rule 9b itself, but by the definition of the word itself:

Code: Select all

  harassment
      n 1: a feeling of intense annoyance caused by being tormented;
           "so great was his harassment that he wanted to destroy his
           tormentors" [syn: {harassment}, {torment}]
      2: the act of tormenting by continued persistent attacks and
         criticism [syn: {harassment}, {molestation}]
