Your big story ended with this supposed plea for everyone to be good natured. If you knew making a forum post would get you 200g, then this is complete nonsense and you being no different than the clout chasing morons on Twitter and Instagram.
Sorry but there’s no way someone would fall for such an obvious bait on the auction house. You’d have to be otherworldly stupid. And then message someone named “scammerman” to beg for your gold back? No one could possibly be that dumb and pathetic.
Lol, you act as if it’s an instant buy the moment you click buy out, it reads you the gold amount and you have to hit confirm, either that or you use some addon which is entirely on you.
Agreed this post is weird. The taunting part and the 200g part. It’s almost like he posted the follow up because people called him out for overpaying so he made up a story to try to make himself look better.
The user he mentioned (I’m trying not to name and shame) does seem to be doing these things on this server so I could see part of the story being accurate.
The people that do it are dirt bags. I use the auctioneer addon, and I recommend anyone else who even occasionally uses the AH to d/l it. Stops crap like this happening.
I just remember, “something something, grab some popcorn and sit back, while I tell you an incredibly long story about how I bought some overpriced item on the AH…” and something about, “nature pots look nice in my bags.”
