Should I feel guilty? - Page 6

**Blaaaaaaaah** · 04-09-2008, 03:19 AM

I know OP has already decided BUUUT Ima just say what I think anyway.

If I was you, I wouldn't feel guilty. That person has made a mistake, tough luck. Of course it'd be great if you're nice and give it back, and everything will be all good, but if you choose not to, I don't think there's anything wrong with that either. It's not like you scammed it or anything. He/she had priced it themselves, their responsibility to check, not yours.

I'm not even thinking about what's gonna happen if someone else came along and saw it. It's gonna be the same story.

Yeah, even if it was me who priced something wrong by accident, I'd be sooo depressed and hope that the buyer will come back to me, but if they don't, it's really my own fault and I can't call the buyer a bad guy because all they did was buy something from a shop at whatever price it was set at. Simple as that.

Okayyyyy this killing people analogy is terrible. Not to mention creepy.

First of all, the analogy doesn't take into fault and the seller-buyer contract (that is, you pay me the money and I promise to give you the weapon and vice versa). Person A (the seller) was clearly at fault and he had no one else to blame. If he had said that someone else had hacked his account and priced his weapon at 1s to get back at him (and could prove it), then yes, maybe you should return the weapon.

But no. He priced the weapon at 1s and opened his store initiating the seller-buyer agreement.

All rise. Judge Ralath has given his verdict. Case dismissed. Court is adjourned.

Not quite! Advocate Vasu has entered the fray! Anyways, recently, I saw a curse resistance +18% necklace for sale at 35c. I bought it. I had already decided to buy it and return it the moment I saw it. I just couldn't have lived with it otherwise. Although you've already decided that you don't feel guilty, I think you should. There's a 999s loss which that guy is facing. He may have been in a lot of need for money. Eg. A lvl 30 guy with very little money is playing. He picks up an amazing ZK weapon which would sell for 30s without enhancement. He prices it at 30c by mistake. How hard would it be on him if someone bought it? His one chance to make money and come out of poverty? Sure if he was that desperate, he would have double-checked the price. But what-if? I mean if you're sure that you're going to return it to the seller, go ahead and buy it. Otherwise, what's the difference between you(who is going to use the item) and someone who tries to sell it for a lot more? The seller faces the same loss, no matter what is done with the axe later.

Now consider someone who PMed him later and offered to return the axe...how happy the seller would feel...another chance to get out of poverty...I would certainly return it....

So I was soloing Mara the other day just to see if my level 20 fighter could stand toe to toe with her.

Well I did dispose of the bad girl, though I went through a few stones and pots to do so. And all that got dropped was a dust and sp pot.

I feel like getting a T-shirt that says I whacked Mara and all I got was this stupid T-shirt.

Has nothing to do with the topic but I am hoping to do to this topic what I did to Mara. Kill it.

Manzcar, lol. As the OP you can request that the thread be closed. but I find it an interesting topic and funny to read. It is amazing at the different reactions everyone has to the same situation. I love all the different reasonings behind everyone's thoughts. But, ultimately it is up to you about the thread.

**Manzcar** · 04-09-2008, 01:45 PM

Ohh let it stand. I think to it is interesting. It has taken on a life of itself now and I am fine with that.

Though the whole killing RL people does creep me out A LOT.

**Spirit** · 04-09-2008, 01:49 PM

lol - yeah, bad analysis, but that is what made it so funny.

Now that I have read the entire thing (*keeping my eye on some of our members a little closer now*) I just want to throw a little kink it for everybody.

How do we know the seller mispriced the item. Everybody assumes (and we all know what that means) that it was a mistake, but in fact it may have been somebody just being nice. Maybe that person has been very lucky in the game and is helping somebody else out, because they know how hard it is at low levels to get money to buy nice stuff. Nobody in here really knows the sellers situation.

If it was a kid then he/she may have very well learned a lesson that they can use in real life (always cover your own butt, cause you can't count on others to do it for you). After all, it is just a GAME. People can get a little too emotionally attached I think.

Just my thoughts, back to work for me.

**Spirit** · 04-09-2008, 04:15 PM

^^ hey - I'm poor!!! Throw me all your old fighter stuff.

and some loose change while you are at it.

And yes you bring up a very good point, but I do not think that they would price it THAT low. However, when my son first started playing this game, he was setting his prices WAY low. I had to explain to him the market and how to price things. He made himself little post-it notes and put on his desk so that he would know what price to sell what at, lol.
