Title: Where is the Flamming Katana???? Admins?
Post by: Taoge on May 17, 2014, 01:27:07 pm
My friend Blood_114 was the highest bidder of the flamming katana, however, the auction disappered! Along with his monney. He checked that he did not receive the katana, on the CRPG.net nor in the game. Please can admins explain the situation?

dont' know why you would pay 11 million for a sword that kills the owner
They could put any cool but useless stuff up and people will pay lots of gold, even real money just because of the scarcity and bragging rights. Making it OP like this was just adds to the demand

I thought the greys or druzhina would win it, but apparently polaks and russians are no match for the chinese gold farmers :shock:

Taoge, we're discussing what happened in IRC atm. From my understanding, the weapon was removed from the auctioneer's inventory a few days ago, and no gold was meant to be lost(yay for new bugs).

If the one who won the bid can't get the cool weapon he should get his money back ,at least,this man sold out all of his rank 3 equipments and borrow much money from other players its about 7000 k gold.and spent hours staring at screen ,finally won the bid at a price of 13000 k but got nothing .so give him the flaming katana or return his money.

11 million? Fuck me what a waste of gold. You could get so many loompoints for that, or just donate to a worthy cause (cough cough) as i'm a poor bastard

refund is the last option he'd take cuz as was posted this guy sold all his loomed gears at inconceivably cheap prices just to afford this weapon and much time was taken with it
needless to say, similar shit happened to everyone who bid for it (hoarding millions of gold isn't what normal people do. they got to sell their looms)
now ur telling them this auction was removed days ago and the only comfort they could ever desire is refund?
omg they got screwed :(
u admins should take this seriously

Aren't you essentially just complaining about the risks inherent in all auctions though? Clearly not everyone can win the auction, so the onlydifference between what has occurred, and what would have occurred, is instead of some 27 participants ending in disappointment, 28 did. Furthermore, the motives behind many people's desires which lead them to such extremes, were deplorable, to say the least.

This.
Guy got hired to buy the Katana with cRPG money in exchange for real world money, which is NOT nor will it ever be, acceptable in cRPG.
Now, should there been a post about the cancelled auction from our part? In hindsight, undoubtedly yes. There were communication errors regarding what would happen when the auction was cancelled in such a way as it was. It was thought that the money would go back to the owners and the whole thing would reset itself. Clearly this did not happen. Our friendly morale officer Harald will sort this mess soon enough, though.
Kids these days, eh.

Incorrect. They bought nothing.
The whole thing is a hoot really. I do think though that Toage and those guys probably shouldn't be punished. It's kind of obvious that a number of players have been or are buying looms with real dosh but with the language barrier etc they should just be warned. I mean Toage openly stated that he was paying for it with real money while talking in the irc channel trying to talk with devs. I think he honestly doesn't realise that it's banable to under take said activity. Only a crazy person would no something was against the rules and then walk up to the rule keepers and be all "so I'm going to fart in your face now, cheers."

When it comes to an individual doing anything they possibly can to acquire something (or achieve something); what's worse, Eastern Europe mentality, or Chinese mentality?
Give the guy his money back, and call it a day. Or better yet, use the flaming katana model, but remove fire damage.

conveniently left out US mentality. y'know. corporate greed, destruction of society and planet we live on. for money. reality shows. sex tapes for fame. politics. lies and corruption to be elected. so on. so forth.
oh, and war. musn't forget war. for profit.

You're talking about maybe 1% of the US population, I'm referring to the average citizens' mentality.

Different cultures. In most western cultures it's frowned upon. In countries where poverty is high, it's a necessity for survival. Socioeconomic more so than mentality, you'll find it in any country.

ITT: Devs put up flaming katana on AH.
Dipshit peasants sell every fucking strip of leather, cattle, and grain they own for coin.
Devs fuck you in the ass again, just like the meleegaming donations.
You expected something different?

In this post another HoC member having no clue what he's talking about.
The people on this page seem to have missed two important facets of this particular situation. The Auctioneer isn't affiliated with the dev team and obtained the katana through an exploit(although, he did explain how it was achieved, and this has long since been fixed). Second, the auction winner made these crazy trades because he was hired for real money to obtain the katana(and it's not as though he isn't getting reimbursed). Taoge admitted to this in IRC.
