So he lies to you about something he can do with the container, I got that part.
He links you some crafted jewelry, got that part too.

Then he wanted Djarn's Amethyst Ring in exchange for the Hollow Skull?

That's it? I'm sorry but who would fall for this?

I timed it, it took me 5 seconds to alt tab and write "hollow skull eq" into google:

Not to mention that if you have doubts you can just ask people in OOC. I'm assuming you were in East Commonlands at the time? Would have probably received a dozen answers.

I have zero tolerance for d-bags, griefers and cheaters but this is hardly worth even mentioning.

I'm with you on this. The only thing Levitikin is exploiting is people's gullibility. And Levitikin is a rogue as well... Sounds like a pretty roguish thing to do from an RP standpoint.

I have no beef with you sir, but you and guinea can't honestly think that? Just admit it's a shitty thing to do, and actively lying is considered griefing given the intent was to cheat someone out of $.

Agreed it is a shitty thing. Never said it wasn't. I just wholeheartedly disagree with it being a bannable offense. The damage done to his reputation should be enough.

Ugh.. Let's not start justifying this crap with the RP explanation. If you frequented this board a few months ago, you'd remember the griefing player who was a Halfling Rogue. He'd send tells to people inviting them into groups from across the world and after 20 minutes or so of running when they arrive, he'd play all ignorant pretending he never sent tells to the person for an invite. He would do the same when ordering armor from a player. The player would make the items and he'd say that he never asked for them or some such nonsense. He justified this all as being a Halfling Rogue who was Role Playing for his god Bristlebane etc. People were in an uproar over this and he wound up getting banned if I recall.
I don't agree that the person mentioned in this thread should be banned but he deserves prominence on the shit-lists of people and guilds. HE made his reputation, let him live with it. If he's in a guild, they should reconsider his membership as it gives them a bad name.

Here's the link to the former player, Triik who was also being an ass to other players..

I think this is the general consensus.

And to all players out there. This is an old game with metric tons of info available. Do your research before buying anything. Google is your friend!

Dude this one time a guy told me a handmade backpack will make any weapon you store in it double the damage and half the delay. I traded my manastone for it ...

Turns out this wasn't the case and I am petitioning for him to be banned. Still no word.

I hope you are joking.

He assured me it would work

i don't think this is bannable...there are lots of "myths" in mmos about what some items do outside of their readable stats. this is not lying in the sense of griefing. it is not fraud in the sense of most duping or claiming to do a MQ and then not doing the hand in.

i think the op has every right to rant on the guy and warn others that he is a peddler...but as far as a ban goes I don't think it is worthy.
