Sometimes, you can't help it; cats vomit randomly, kids fall down stairs and typing /afk is not the first thing that occurs to you. If I am playing a caster and waiting for my mana to come back, I will often go away to grab a drink and maybe even use the bathroom without feeling that I am truly AFK enough to advertise the fact.
At other times, a random unsolicited message from an unknown player can be intimidating. I mean, if I just wrote a /LFG message, I might expect to get a couple of tells and I'll reply even if all I am saying is that I already have a group. But when I am running through a zone full of dangerous mobs and get a message saying 'Hey' then I am often going to wait for the rest of the message before replying.
And what about people who have no idea what the items should cost? I might look up an item on the wiki if I really want it, but there have been times when I have ignored an item because I didn't realise it was in my price-range until later. Please, won't someone think of the noobs?

But I'm sure you reply eventually, and when I send a tell I'm always the nicest guy you could get one from.
For e.g "hey mate! You done with this camp yet? If not all good could you just shoot me a tell when you are finished?"
Or "really hate to bother you but I am in need of a rez! Happy to donate please let me know

"Really want this item but I only got 800pp and I know your asking 1k, any chance you would part with it?"
These are the types of tells I get ignored on... It's bullshit!
I totally agree about the price thing, put your price if it is a lower end item (e.g 200pp or even up to 1k!) or at least give a little spiel like perfect for low lvl druid! The noob will come running with tells.
the only people who don't give prices are real estate agents, and nobody likes them! (p.s my dad is a real estate agent)
