I recently started receiving PMs from people in the marketplace who are complaining my prices are set too high. Now, as a general rule I set all of my prices below the general average price because a) I want people to purchase goods from me and b) because I know what its like to have very little gold and big dreams.
Yesterday however I got the most audacious one yet. One that begged me to present him with my Soldat Officers Cap, an item priced in the stores at about 19k, for free, or to settle for one hundred and some odd number of gold, which was the original bid. All on the basis that he was a good person, and DESERVED it.
When I calmly tried to explain that that was simply something I could not do, he got snippy and said something I don't care to repeat.
What have we fallen to? This? What kind of good person, nay good Gaian goes about sending PMs and asking for handouts? I must say, this disturbs and depresses me greatly...
Whatever you do- do it with purpose, do it with love, and most of all, do it with a smile. Five bonus points if you do it in costume. Ten more if you're a Green Rider. You just plain win if your name is Fastion and you're a Weapon of the King.
