You find players offering protector elixer fo 10k
entering the stall will show its not open yet ,BUT yes it's there an elixer for only 10k

when more than one player is in the stall the guy will message in the chat window of the stall opening in 10 sec, opening in 9 sec, opening in 8 sec wel you get the picture

at 0 sec every body will be clicking on the elixer, the stall opens en suddenly the elixer is 100k

I got lucky, the other guy got it, the stall closed , gosthwalk en off he was
could not even register his name

so friends of SRO be warned

You're on Oasis right?

There is a scammer named Dhenielle and she belongs to a guild called dev_null. She has scammed so many people in Jangan. She is around lvl 36 and pretends to be a noob (strips down to her garments) and tries to sell Weapon Elixirs for 30k in Jangan but changes the price to 500k or so when a lot of greedy players come into the stall. I've seen her do this many times before.

And her guildmates seem to be ok with her scamming, so if you see other dev_nulls, PK them. : P

true.. this trick is too old to even be mentioned :) But I guess it should be.

There's also the "switch-to-accessory-instead-of-weapon" and "weapon-elixir-150k-and-then-it's-1.5M".

I've seen a dude fall for a 130k weapon elixir, but payed 1.3M since he was in such a hurry that he didn't check price lol.

LOL Thats old school. Lucky it was only 100k.

_NIE_ has been doing something somewhat unique; places an SOS item in the stall for something outrageously cheap, like 7m

Then closes the stall, and opens it again

Everyone piles in

Places a plain non-sos one in for 7m, and it gets bought like every time.

Yes, I had a Denhielle experience once :banghead:

She pulled the weapon elixer at the last moment and said, "hang on, I have one more"....I thought, 180K isn't too bad a price, so checked Inventory and thought "D'OH!! That beeatch just scammed me!!", so I went ahead with the trade, and watched as she pulled it again but this time she didn't get the gold.

The things people enjoy doing :roll:

Oops! I forgot to mention, that for weeks afterwards whenever she saw me she'd whisper "want a cheap weap elixer?"

When I am finished SP farming I will be making it a mission to strip down to nothing, go out with some POS weapon and murder that beeatch over and over.

Better than sex I'm thinking :twisted:

Not that I'm pro-scamming but, after all.. scammers only excist because there are pple dumb enough to believe them lol. Those who got scammed aren't just the victims, in some sort of way you can also call them the opposite.

Nevertheless scamming = lame :P. I hate it when I spend time for someone to open a shop, and I find out that he's trying to scam >.>"

If 1 out of 15 people fall for the scam, your 7m richer either way. All it takes is 1 careless person.

Usually I say "everyones gotta learn the hard way". But I know people who've been scammed big, like 3 time... what the heck

i learned i the hard way... sometimes i think it should give it a try 2...
sure people will fall for it...

But then again... would i be able to sleep at night?

QFT: Only the stupid and greedy get scammed.

THe best defense against getting scammed is patience. Slow down, really think about what you are doing. Watch what they do, carefully.

I dont even go in those cheap elixir stalls, dunno why anyone would. If it's too good to be true, well it must then be false.

umm almost all of dev_null does infact scam, look for their stall char in hotan named ass_hat, they sell shitty items for way more than they are worth in hopes that someone will buy it, don't believe me?
have a look, the stall char is always in the general vicinity of blacksmith in hotan

well selling items for a high price isnt scamming... the worst thing u can say about the sellers is lack of common sense... that they dont know the market price... well if asshat wants to sell items that way its fine for him, there prolly still are ppl buying those things at that price (great big roar for alchemy :D )

Well, I never said your whole guild or union is made of scammers Mistur. But Dhenielle has scammed people even when other dev_nulls around her. When people yell out Dhenielle is a scammer, the other dev_null said stuff like: I don't care.
BTW, I've seen Dhenielle around the Tarim Basin, she is probably hunting scorpions by now with her SOS bows bought with scammed gold.

Oh, and are you Mistur_China on Oasis?
