    You are correct somewhat and they probably could have worded it better and again it’s a huge assumption which way they were taking it (bad wording or trying to rip a player off etc). Still don’t think it justifies posting private information about them and spreading possible false information on assumptions alone. We really don’t know how they meant their message. Beleive it or not, not everyone is out to scam players (doesn’t mean you or anyone else should let their guard down by any means). Everyone, the buyer and seller, should be doing their due diligence and researching accordingly so they do not get burned on trade deals.

    Not really sure how much personal information is on this players Reddit account, if any. But the fact remains.. I don’t agree that possible personal information, no matter the situation, should have been shared like it was.

    Again politely, I didn't say it could have been worded better. I believe it was worded exactly as intended, them hoping to hand over just "several" arms for some particularly high-end items.

    The proof is not just in their choice of language, but in whom they are targeting with those messages, returning players, and the manner of the approach, ie a direct message hidden from any public challenge by knowledgeable players. When you combine these elements, their intention is clear and obvious.

    If they listed those items in the WTB thread and said they were willing to pay "several arms" for any of them, they'd be laughed off the forum (as they well know)!

    I've zero sympathy for them, get the torches and pitchforks out.

    Several arms is subjective.. it can mean 1750a or 3000a... Which is enough to buy any q7/8 weapon(s) there is on the market, according to how auctions have been going lately.

    As I and others have said on here, there are many players who are spamming WTB q7/8, prenerf etc all the time. Some of those players are known players on this forum, does that mean they are trying to rip people off? What happens in kama when people respond to their "WTB q7/8" messages? Do you think they talk in all chat about their deals? Do they stop and say, wait wait wait... before we move further, lets post about this to a public forum so people dont assume one of us is scamming the other? No, its private messages just like this reddit message was. Do we even know that the player was a new, returning player? Or was it a player who was posting about other q8's they had for sale? Maybe we should get all the information/back story about it first before we go assuming things.

    From what I have read so far, it is all assumptions at this point and really we are just giving this player a bad rep based on false accusations. Meanwhile, other players are allowed to spam similar messages and its all okay? Yeah...no.. get that double standard outta here.

    Every single game is virtual nonsense your not making any sense in your argument, you do realize Anet would never allow such thing to happen as long the game doesn't lose them money.

    As soon as they make everything obtainable then nobody WILL actually care and the game will be actually be sent to the graveyard permanently.

    Agreed.. what would be the incentive or reward if they just allowed everything to be obtainable naturally through the game? I get some players play to have to fun and don’t care about rare minis/weapons. But there is a large majority of players who strive for that reward. The hunt to find that missing weapon for their collection or saving up several years to finally get that rare mini they have always wanted. There would be a lot of upset players if they just allowed rare minis and pre nerfed weapons to be naturally obtainable again. Steven, if you’re reading this, please don’t do this lol 😭

    Agreed! It goes both ways, I would assume people are smart enough to get second or even third opinions on price checks and to do research before quickly selling or buying anything. But we have all seen posts and heard of instances where they just didn’t happen and players got the short end of the stick :(

    There’s a reason why there was mod intervention when this users Reddit information was shown, and also why it was removed.. There is no reason to post players private information on a public forum like that. With the amount of account breaches we have seen on this game, why help the crooks by posting players private info? Sure info is public and out there, but you might as well be giving them a map to that information. The player base is small in this game so we should be considerate of that. Have some common curtesy and think about if the roles were reversed. I know I would hate for any information of mine to be publicly posted like that.

    Off topic: In regards to this users message, I see nothing wrong with asking if players have certain rare items or minis. 100% other players are out there doing the same thing, via messaging on here, in Kama, etc. What’s the harm in trying to get the first opportunity on buying said rare items before other players can? I can see how his message could have been misinterpreted though.
    Whether he was being sincere or shameless as you put it, it’s all assumptions at that point unless there is clear evidence that the user is blatantly ripping people off.

    I still don’t think that justifies posting potential private information about said user. Everyone should have a “right to privacy” in some regard but not really sure about the rules on this site, seems like they do have some rules about it since it was removed by mods.

    I’m assuming the price has increased since then. I would put it for sale on here and auction it and see how high it goes to get a good idea. Remember you are not forced to sell if you don’t like the final price! Good luck!

    As for your other question, uninscribed weapons are more valuable and sought after as opposed to inscribed weapons. The lower the req, the more valuable.. goes to q9, q8 and most rare.. q7 for max damage weapons. You can still sell some inscribed q9 and q8’s for pretty good prices, and you might find collectors out there seeking certain skins/q’s, but for the most part, uninscribed are more preferred. Hope that helps!

  • Vampiric Spatha Req7

    At the end of the day, anyone is capable of being a so called “Kamadan scammer”. Guarantee even long time collectors will jump at the chance and PM returning players with ultra rare weapons like this trying to privately buy it before anyone else has a chance to.

    Something like this doesn’t pop up or is not sold that often so I would just keep it, unless it’s burning a hole in your pocket and you’re trying to get funds for something else. Be sure that something else is a sure deal before selling this though. Definitely public sell it so you can see the price it gets to, don’t sell privately, even to “trusted collectors”.

  • The Hunt for Jormungand


    Well after around 60 or so runs, Jormungand finally showed up for me, and then left a less than ordeal drop xD I guess he is not a ghost afterall.

    Some observations while hunting this guy:

    • The map that showed all the possible spawn points was very helpful. I also followed the route of checking south east > south west > north west locations. If I saw a Frozen elemental, I simply proceeded to the next location. Basically, if I didn't see the Frozen elemental in one of the three areas, I just combed that area until I popped a frost wurm.
    • A lot of times, but not all the time, I found that there will be a locked chest in a location near where the frost wurm will pop or where the frozen elemental is.

    • This being my first time to pop the Jormungand boss, he also spawned 2 frost wurms with him, which made me wonder:

      1. Does he always spawn 2 frost wurms with him?

      2. Does this mean that he could pop up next to a frozen elemental still?

    Either way, its not that bad... I will just run into the frozen elementals aggro to check that theory just in case. I am just glad I was finally able to pop this boss. I was starting to think I was doing something wrong or I needed some quest or something active for him to show up, but nope! The grind continues!
