    That's where Skye posted them, if the link still works. Was super nice of her to share. Makes diving so much easier and more enjoyable.

    Yeah link is still active. It's just my public dropbox :) I don't intend to take it down any time soon, so anyone can just help themselves to it.

    Just a suggestion, but delegate! No need to do it all solo. I'll definitely help out and I'm sure others will, too. You've got this!

    Drudge Skual a'Bertal (male Human).
          He is 365 years old, having been born on the 15th of Daedalan, 338 years after 
    the fall of the Seleucarian Empire.
    He has given up the adventuring life.
    He is an extremely credible character.
    He is not known for acts of infamy.
    He is a Plebeian in Ashtan.
    He is considered to be approximately 75% of your might.
    He is a mentor and able to take on proteges.
    His motto: '.'
    He has been divorced once.
    He bears the arms: Sable, a phoenix inverted Or and a sword Argent.
    See HONOURS DEEDS SKUAL to view his 3 special honours.

    So frustrating. He ordered 200 of each ink from me (except black), then retired his character without paying me for it. Pretty sure I've sold ink to him before with no issues, so it's frustrating that he went and did that. Never again trusting anyone in a business transaction unless it's a really close friend.

  • That's a bit annoying. Could probably be considered a scam except he likely just forgot. What's the bet the ink's still sitting in his rift!

  • If he only ordered the inks from you, but you hadn't delivered them yet, it's a bit annoying but hardly seems like something worth abandoning all business dealings over. You can still sell the inks in a shop or directly to somebody else. If you already gave him the inks, why didn't you also receive payment at the same time?

    I sent them to him, he said we could do the transaction over letter or in person. I've done plenty of transactions through letters with people without a single issue. He'd logged in since then obviously, I'd asked a citymate of his. He'd been around a bit before retiring himself. I'd even sent him reminders about it.

  • Seems like an unintended outcome of the system to be able to evade defaulting on payment unscathed. Issue it?

    Yeah I did. I mean, plenty of times I have let people just send in orders, I send them what they ask for, they send me payment whenever they show up and get it... or if someone is not on mainland but wants something I'll send it and be like, "Hey no rush, go ahead and pay me whenever you have time when you're back on the mainland." Like I'm always very reasonable about giving people time, so it's just kind of frustrating to be taken advantage of.

    Guess it's a good thing you didn't finish the transaction!

    So the results of this were disappointing... and again why I won't give someone the benefit of the doubt anymore.

          1/16/19:07 Greetings! In regards to your issue #75272: We are sorry for this 
    unfortunate occurrence. We highly encourage the usage of the TRADE system in the 
    future to avoid any future instances of this. If you have any further questions or 
    concerns, please let us know..

    Message #12         Sent by Kayeil
          1/16/19:08 (To Anytus): [To Anytus] So there's no way I can get my inks back? I 
    doubt the intention of the retirement system was for these people to be allowed to 
    scam others. They had also tried to buy a bunch of plots from Ashtan before retiring 
    their character, too.

    Message #13         Sent by Anytus
          1/16/19:12 We would encourage you to read HELP SCAMS to familiarise yourself 
    with what counts as a punishable or illegal scam. We have systems in place precisely 
    to prevent what happened in this situation from happening. It is unfortunate it 
    occurred but it is not something that requires administrator intervention.

  • @Kayeil curious, how much worth of inks?
  • I'm sure it's frustrating but 95k is what, 60-90 minutes of bashing for you? Seems like you're expending a lot of energy on it
  • To be honest, unless you for some reason especially love gathering reagents and inkmilling, I can't see why you'd even bother as a dragon. Likely took a lot more than two hours to gather them and you could make a lot more than 95k in that time.
  • Man. 100k for two hours!? Where are you people bashing?

    Takes longer than that to gather all that!

    It's good supplemental income, and sometimes hunting grounds are wiped out since only certain areas are worth a dragon's time. I also shopkeep, so it's good stock to have. Not sure why I have to justify why I mill ink,  I'm certainly not the only dragon who does it. Nor should I be criticized for doing it, and it doesn't make what Skual did right.

    We got 135k in about an hour as a group on Meropis.

    Annwyn. Can do about 70k per hour as Bard.

    If you do Sidhe/Unsidhe/Forest it takes ~75 minutes for ~85k




    Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
  • Bard just murders everything. I can do Sidhe, Unsidhe, day and night kelpies, dwellers, lake fairies and a decent chunk of the animals in the forest in an hour.
