Why do people make such stupid offers then insult you for not accepting?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape 5 years ago

Earlier today I had someone offer me 20k to dig up my magic tree and sell them the roots. This is a tree I continually cut logs from for my fletching & I paid 150k for the seed. Now he's wanting me to kill it so he can have the roots for 20k! I told him I'd dig it up if he brought me a new seed to replace my tree with & he had the nerve to insult me. I have this kind of thing happen all the time.

Do you have similar problems? What makes them think this is right?

Human can be more human than others. But I am more curious about how you can grow a tree from a root. I tired to transplant a tree with the whole tree but it died. It was small so I was able to get the whole root system. I don't know how much 150K is. Is that 150 dollars. That seems pretty cheap for him to offer only 20K for it. That would be like asking someone to sell their house for less than what they paid for it. I have done that only once and that was because it was run down.


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

This post was in reference to a game called runescape where you can grow trees with your characters farming skill.
As for your attempts to grow trees from roots, only certain kinds can do this. Other kinds can be grown from twigs either stuck into moist ground or spliced to a piece of root.


myLot reputation of 87/100. bumblinbetty31 (102)  5 years ago

Nearly fell off my seat when I read the words "Magic Tree," and "150K" in a sentence. Thanks for the clarification.


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

Thought the fact that it was under the topic Online games/runescape would be the give away.


myLot reputation of 91/100. lotterylover (7433)  5 years ago

Don't think we saw that. I never heard about that game before so didn't put two and two together

LOL. Did they call you a noob or some variation?
I always find that it's the noobs who have the nerve to call me one, the silly buggers =P

That would have been an absolute rip-off!
I think you actually wanted a fair deal, considering the cost of the seeds and all (you got it at a good price though, I just sold one for 170k =D).

People always insult me when I won't sell them my armour or something silly like that.
I have no idea what makes them think it's okay... Maybe because so many of the players are like eight years old and don't understand common sense/decency =P

The comment above mine is gold; this person has no idea about RuneScape! =P


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

Actually noob was what they started with. I was trying to be nice and offering to do the seed deal even though it would cut my log production for a full day. Yet they wanted to be insulting. I had a similar situation when someone offered to pay 75k for my dragon woodaxe earlier that day & that gave me the idea to post this.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Malyck (1680)   ranked 143 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

LOL as if anyone would be dumb enough to ask for a d wc for 75k, let alone sell it!

I hate the word noob/nub and so on. It's so overused and doesn't even have a real meaning:
it's just for pissed off little RuneScapers who don't get what they want =P


gailbennet (4)  5 years ago

Epic. lol. with regards to the noob term. i too hate the word and those who use it deserve to be permanently removed from my social calender. however if your looking for a whitty retort thats not been overused, go to this page

myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

They were dumb enough to ask for the axe at that price though. I just used the laugh emote , told them the value and continued cutting ignoring their curses.


runedraco1 (7)   ranked 260 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

u shld sooo ignore them usually the noobs r the ones making the remarks

i know! seriously! i have people do that all the time. if you accept, then they say "noob" ect... if you decline, then they say well, i was gonna give it you you (ya...right)
i was on my level 3 skiller 1 time, and this guy did that. he was lik level 63... of all people. then i got so mad when he declined... just to waist my time. i went on ly level 70 9made sure i was wearing my (zammy) then i found him, and traded him. i put out 468 addy arrows, 2 sets of full rune and a ton of runes. then i declined... then i put out my zammy and all that and 100k. then i when he accepted, i declined... it helped me to "release" my anger... and it was funny.lol


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

Wish I'd have had a bronze woodaxe on me at the time. I'd have sold him "that" for 75k. As for the root guy , I should have just told him to go plant himself.

This is why I stopped playing Runescape. Always people begging and insulting eachother with words that should not exist such as noob.

You could have just turned off your chat effects.

It is very anoying though when people act so childish.

LOL!! i was so confused by this discussion that i checked where you are from. i though you are from some corner of the world where law of nature actually rules and people shoots each other with arrows when they are not positing in mylot.. ... then i found out you are talking about an online game.


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

But I am from a corner of the world where law of nature actually rules and people shoots each other with arrows. Didn't you notice my pic? You think I wear that to chop wood?

I can find this a major problem when dealing with people that resuse to believe that it is an inconvienience to me to do things for them... such as chop down trees, just so they can have the roots!

! find i have more trouble with people if i am selling things, they seem to assume that some really bad offer of junk is great and i should accept with gratitude, and of course, when i don't accept their pretty worthless offers, they call me lots of names.

it seems that now in runescape no matter what your combat lvl, or how long you have played, how well you know the market prices or how polite you are, you will be verbally abused by some spoiled kid wanting their own way.

my favorite way to deal with them, is to use very polite big grown up words that they don't understand, and walk/tele away lol.


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

I happen to like the laugh emote. Your right though, grown up words often leave them scratching their heads.

This guy did not insult you because he thought he was right. He insulted you because he did not get what he wanted, and like a child he threw a tantrum. He insulted you by offering you such a small price to destroy something of such value, be it a magic tree or a normal material object. Why he would think you would accept mystifies me.
And please, what is 'fletching'? Is your tree magical only for this purpose or is it magically charged in and of itself? Oh, gosh, my curiosity is running amok with a few million questions lol.
Yes, I have had people offer me absurdly small prices for posessions of great value to me, things that cost me time and spirit to gain. Most of the time this was because they did not velue the gaining of the thing, and believed that its possession alone was its value, that they could purchase the value I had earned. In their ignorance they did not realize that the power was not transferable in that way.


myLot reputation of 72/100. catskisses (329)  5 years ago

OK, twice now myLot has eaten my redfaced confession, so one more try. I did not read the topic nor the previous posts, so only now realze you were talking about a game..
As you know you and I have only begun 'talking' on myLot. So I dropped by your profile page and came here from it due to the title. So excuse my ignorance, ok?
Anyway, I still want to know what fletching is..
I actually thought you meant a real life tree with magical properties, not impossible in my understanding of workings and our world.


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

Fletching is actually a skill used to produce archery supplies ( bows, arrows & such ). Its one of the major skills in the game.



Had they tried this in real life I'd have let them have some of my arrows, launched from a bow. My ingame character is much like myself outa game, a warrior, blacksmith & craftsman of the old ways.

It's very common, because there are so many noobs, or idiots that want things for cheap so to get them cheap they hope by calling you a noob that you change your mind and to sell em' it because they called you noobish, there just little kids that get a sense of accompishment by calling people noobs/newbs/froobs because that's all they have to look forward to in there pathiece life!


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

I'll sell stuff cheap, just not unreasonably cheap. Your probably right about it being kids who haven't been tought proper respect.

i have often had similat experieces,
i tend to think that the one insulting is
usually a kid but still doesnt excuse
thier rudeness, i know when i was growing up
there was consequences (plz excuse any grammer or spelling/typing errors).
is kind of a sad state of affairs when folks think
courtsy in a usless comodity.
lol there ive shown my old age


myLot reputation of 91/100. uath13 (4698)   ranked 1 out of 380 in runescape  5 years ago

Thats hardly showing your age. It shouldn't be unheard of for kids to show proper respect. If my kids acted like that they'd be in trouble.
