Any senior citizen who gives their bank account info to someone on the phone posing as the IRS etc made a concious decision too I guess.

Yes, it is scamming because it's taking advantage of new players/people who have no knowledge of the item's real worth. Sprawlz takes this one step further even and will message people who are already selling an item for below market value and try to haggle them down even further.

Sounds like the free market at work to me; seller can hold out for a higher offer as long as they like. Buy, don't buy, i don't care. i'm sure Sprawlz doesn't.

East Commonlands; you'll never see a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Seriously though; who cares if he overcharges? Don't buy it if you don't want to pay that price. He's not trying to trick you into a sale(right?). I bought an Atramentous shield the other day for more than it was worth because I was tired of hanging out in EC. I just wanted a good shield so I could get back to adventuring. If you want to be a slimy haggling businessman in EC that's fine. It's part of the reason I love EC and hated PoK. There's a human element involved. Something that makes the world feel more lifelike.
As far as Shamsade getting banned~ I don't know the legality of it. Clearly He has no integrity. If you don't ban him what's to stop him from rerolling to save his reputation and doing something worse in the future? In my opinion he clearly has to be held accountable.

Same here, or at least to try and see if Fungi stacks with my iksar's innate regen? If it doesn't stack, then I will give it right back... I pinky swear it to you and promises and all that.

It's bonkers that people are angry at Sprawls for being a reseller, but not at the raid guilds who permacamp mobs an expansion back or two expansions back. Baffling.

Dude puts in a LOT of time in boring ass EC to make his money. Raiders puts in a LOT of time to permacamp zerg mobs to make their money and ALSO preventing you from enjoying the content as was intended.

You people are a bunch of pussies, I swear.

At the same time Sprawls shouldn't have trusted a Dawn Believer to "try on" anything.
