/afk not here

i get asked for loans or freebies before i even get loaded.
I get 5* people whispering me (in skolver sets) "plz 100 ce to craft my weapon?"
I get asked for some substantial loans.
i am constantly being asked to buy people stuff off Featured Auction with the promise of a payback "sometime next week"
I get asked to randomly supply unbind for a trade b/w 2 parties i dont know "promise i'll pay u back with his payment!" --wait, you don't have a friend you could ask instead of me? a guildmate? if they dont' trust you, why should i?
I get people begging me to buy there stuff at lowball prices (this i find hilarous) they i say no. Because i don't buy and resell stuff. not worth the risk. So no, i won't give you 5k ce for a vh beast voltedge. or vh slime blitzneedle.
I get asked for price checks.....followed by harassing me to buy it for the high end of my appraisal.
I get asked to buy people cheap accessories on AH (dusky dragon wings for example)
or "can i have a lockbox/key?"

And "how did you make your money? can you teach me?"
how do i teach someone to unlock 2 wolver tails in teh first week of lockboxes? and then get lucky to sell them for more than they are worth?

Here is your problem xar. you are a known name. you have an awesome costume. you have twlight aura. you are screwed.

I have a Proto Storm loadout that I almost always equip whenever I go into Haven. Just hide under a canopy and switch into proto gear, then walk into the town square looking like a noob.

Surprisingly, it was inspired by Xair herself.

It's no secret I run around in T1 gear in Haven because I'm waiting for T1 LD. I never beg anyone around, I'll run around a lot and just type the usual zone message every 2 mins or so... and then people come up to me, random trade, and say "Take this Defender" or "Here's a cutter".

Sadly, instead of profiting on this like a normal human being, I find the first all proto'd person I can, and just give them the stuff I'm given.

@Xairathan

I sometimes do a few things to keep beggars away.

•I almost always put /afk "Sorry, AFK."
•If someone keeps begging, either hide the trade or be quite cruel and put all your $$$ in the trade window, then go AFK.
•My favorite. Ignore button! :D
•Change Havens
•If they're asking for crowns, trade them, and give them 2 CR.
•If they want free items, trade them and give them a soul dust (Or any other worthless mat).
•If they want CE, hand them 1 CE.

Normally all of the above gets beggars off my back, hopefully it will work for you. :D

When I'm in haven I get at least 20-40 people asking me for things over the course of 10 or so hours.
I see probably 4x this many beggars total.

Nothing new to be honest.

I tell them to work for their wealth like everybody else had to, including myself.

I deal with beggars with ultimate and sincere cruelty.

Hqf the time beggars don't understand pricing for some items.

Last week, I walked off with sun silver (he mustof had alot tokens lying around) for about 500 cr.

Resold into AH. *insert smirk here*

Another time, I almost got a deal where I sell each shard for about 500 cr each.

Sadly, his friend tagged along soon enough.

I haven't seen any more beggars as of recent, either cause I'm earning a name of noteriety, or cause I have a demolition set equipped.

But yea, if something annoys you, find a way to outsmart it.

I never get people begging me for stuff. Mind you, it's pretty hard for beggars to find me when I'm in the clockworks actually playing the game.

I've never quite understood why anyone would hang around in haven for longer than it takes to clear out excess mats in the AH or vendor away some boss tokens. I mean, it might be fun to chat with folks, but without a decent chat tab system it just gets swamped with other conversations and turns into a complete mess.

I don't get many beggars, at least no more than the average person, what's with the trade spammers running around Haven and all. Whenever I get asked personally, I change into my beggar loadout (yes I have one) and beg right back. Usually they stop whispering and go bother someone else. If I'm feeling lazy, I ignore them immediately.

Yea, I feel really odd when I'm trying to hock stuff in the trade channel or haven 1. This game doesn't really have anything to do while loitering, but people have built virtual empires on trade chat sales. When I am in Haven sitting around, I don't get too many random trade requests, which is nice.

Also, I've seen people in /2 selling the same thing for practically 48 hours straight. At least every time I log on, which is completely random through an entire day and most of the night. It's the unfortunate thing about knowing Australian and Philippines players....
