On a related note, always tip your barber.
You have no idea what they are doing to your head and might “slip” if you’re a bad tipper.
Technology has certainly come a long ways, where it’s been a convenient asset & of course, a new arena for crime as well. Most society has this survival of the fittest approach, taking advantage of the vulnerable, naïve, weak, oblivious, etc. & very few respect (by definition) those less knowledgeable. I have enjoyed reading your informative responses.

I just wish adding them to your ignore list would prevent their listings from showing up. Now I’ve just got a bunch of empty categories.
yup they need to increase the deposit on orders with no mats and they wouldn’t be so quick to post them

maybe they lost their internet connection or if it was on that character they maybe did it purposely if they don’t like your views.
Allowing public crafting orders without mats was a mistake.

The problem is more and more people are just posting orders without materials to the point where it’s pretty much the norm. Sure you can ignore them, however, this means there will likely be no orders you can fill for profit or skill up.
If that happens, the market will react and people will put higher and higher tips (or more and more materials) until their orders start to be filled 
I know it all seems very annoying, i’d probably be annoyed with it all too if i cared in the slightest about my professions, but the alternative just seems so much worse.
Oh no! You locked an order out from being filled for 30 minutes! Whatever will they do?
I get what you’re trying to suggest, and while I’m inclined to agree on the fact that people like this need to be taught a lesson, that’s the very reason why it gets freed up if you don’t make it in 30 minutes: trolls WOULD accept an order in an attempt to lock a person they don’t like out from getting their item.
On what planet is a crafting order with a ten gold commission and no mats provided considered to be “free gold” when I have to spend gold to get them the 1K in mats that I don’t have on hand at that very moment?
And if I DID have the mats on hand, then why haven’t I used them for something else, or just outright sold them for 1K? I promise you, I’m not holding 1K in mats in the hopes that some clown wants an item for just ten gold.

Sounds malicious to me.
No repercussions for it though, so they’ll keep fishing for an easy craft until they no longer need it. Takes a special kind of person to be that desperate to scam someone.
I think that if the person doesn’t supply the mats, then the current auction house gold price of those mats should be added to the commission automatically.

What’s wrong with being crazy? Its the norm now, get in the bandwagon Muppitt. 
In theory it makes good sense… if a mage with tailoring and enchanting wants to order a cool spell blade from a blacksmith, they are not going to have their own ore, but the blacksmith most likely will… it sounds logical! But sadly, in practice it just doesn’t work.
I think you should either have to provide the mats, or the gold value of the mats…
As an engy:
“You guys are getting craft orders?”
But really, i have done one so far. Not one a week but one for the whole expansion
