You're totally allowed express your distaste in the principle of the matter without having to bring any specific details into your proclamation; your post will probably not get removed this way, and people can still sympathize with your stance.

Just take out the name, and we're good. Something like "It grinds my gears when people buy items from the auction house and NPC them for a higher profit."

I never understood that concept. Seems to me your profit would be pretty miniscule if you bought for 5k and npc'd for 6k i forget what they go for.

I only do it with a few items... Like, Oxblood before I realized it had a use. Or that axe from Mimas.

Mostly because I don't really understand why people don't put them up for at least NPC price, weapons I can kinda see, but something like that axe I'm like 'meh, w/e. 1-3k profit for 5 seconds.'

But Raxa? Nah, I don't think I'd buy that, nor do I pick up oxblood anymore (and I kinda feel bad for doing it in the first place, but still...)

Beastmasters!


Yes, Beastmaster's tick me off too - but only the ones that can't
respect other player's camps. It makes me see red to have an established camp, been partying for several hours, than have a Beastmaster come in with their pet and start taking all the mobs so that our party has nothing to exp on.

A Beastmaster does have the right to exp just like everyone else - but they DO NOT have the right to poach on someone else's camp. They should be considerate and use a little common courtesy and move on to another area to kill mob if they see a party - - - instead of stealing mobs and pissing a party or alliance off...............but too many Beastmasters think it is their RIGHT to take what ever mob is there for the taking, poaching or now.

YES THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF!

No, I didn't punch a wall, I didn't stick my hands in a sink full of extra-strength Dawn and steaming hot water, I didn't scrape them on anything, the dogs didn't bite them. They just do this, all on their own, every winter. And this one is fairly mild at the moment, I've had all knuckles looking like this at a time before.

It hurts, damn it. Touching the skin of my hands (on the back sides only, thank god not on the palms) hurts. And I'm not talking only the parts that are oozing blood, the entire back of the hands hurt when touched. They hurt when I bend them out of an ordinary position, not the ligaments but the skin. I can understand a ligament getting upset if I bent it crazily, but skin should be a bit more supple than that. Especially skin that's only 25 years old. You can't really tell in the picture, but if you look at my hands in person, they look like the hands of a 70 or 80 year old woman. Not a 25 year old.

I've tried putting lotion on them. A doctor prescribed Cetaphil lotion. It helps the pain, temporarily, but doesn't heal the broken skin. I've tried other lotions, they really just don't work. The scented ones make it worse. Vaseline works the same as Cetaphil, it eases the pain for the moment but doesn't heal anything. Mink oil does work and does help heal the skin, if I have it on 100% of the time, however the entire time it's on I can touch nothing else because it's so greasy that it will not absorb and will smear onto anything I touch. I can't not touch anything 24/7, lol. ;;

Stupid hands. My lips do it too, although Vaseline heals them up right nicely. It's a pain in the arse to wake up to bloody lip prints on my pillowcase though, or take a drink of water from a glass I've already drank from and taste blood in the water. Grinds me right smack dab in the gears!


I have a couple of suggestions. I have extremely dry skin ever since I had gastric bypass and since I live in a desert climate. I used to use BagBalm, the same thing that farmers use on cows udders - it is very common, you can get it at most corner drug stores. It is like Vaseline but have a healing agent in it.

Another option is PURE vitamin E LOTION - not oil. There are several brands available on the internet. I checked Amazon and they have a selection. This would be my personal preference. Vitamin E is suggested as a topical use after surgery to help "mask" the scarring. The higher the IU of the Vitamin E the better. I was using 6000 IU and didn't know there was higher ones available. If you try out the Vitamin E Lotion, apply it every time you think about it - it won't be greasy and should help quite a bit.

Last option might or might not work, CeraVe. It is a very thin lotion. I put it on my face and within 5 mins I can run my hands over my face and all the dead dry skin on my face sloths right off. I then apply the lotion again and my face stays smooth and moist for quite some time.

Good luck - I know how painful dry skin can be, I feel your pain.

People have been doing this for years :/ Also, don't think people even bother to check npc prices or know what they are (or care), or they think they're doing someone a favor by selling it cheap, not realizing that a good majority of the time it's just a bot buying stuff up to npc.

Also, depending on supply, it's pretty easy to make ~100k a day doing this. There's a lot of random stuff that people sell 4-5k cheaper than npc price, and bots snatch them up almost instantly >_> Seems like they'd be better off fish botting or something (though free money is free money, and I'd assume it adds up enough to be worthwhile that people actually do this), though I've never heard of anyone getting banned for ah botting.

How does that only apply to BSTs? Also... if your party/alliance can't outpull a bst... well then your party has a lot of different issues there...

We were out farming dyna yesterday on bst and a thf/pup duo came in right on top of us... did we get mad? no... one of us stayed there to grab those and the other moved to a different mob cuz it wasn't taken... I don't get all the "I was here first these are my mobs so GTFO" it makes no sense... so people like you grind my gears lol...

Hey I was at this NM camp spot first so this NM is mine k... you can have it when I leave...

But that depends on what level the party was and what level the bst was.

If people are exping (high 60's-70something), and someone 90+ comes in to do a trial, they may not kill fast enough to out pull the trial person....

I had that issue...and I hated it. Granted it wasn't a bst, it was a blm...but that's beside the point. If it's for a trial, it's a little rude to go take all the mobs when they are limited in that camp spot if there's a party there.

If it was a blm how is it besides the point.. the person directed the anger solely at bsts...

Even still... I don't see the problem... No one has ownership over any mob in the game... it might be respectful to bow out but it also might be a time thing for that person... I know a lot of trials have to do with day/weather so it might be the only time they can make it out... either way...

Edit: Now if they were out there just dicking around and not out to complete a goal or something then I could see the issue...

My point was that depending on the level that might not have been possible, especially if the mobs were extremely limited at the camp.

In my case the trial was just killshot with the spell, and claimed wiki said there wasn't a better spot...when wiki specifically says there is unless you're in a group...which they weren't until we started grabbing our beetles.

Just frustrating...and I could kind of relate...tis all.
