Amazingly Stupid behavior
I found a godly Superior (14% Ed) Ethereal bezerkers Axe (6 Sockets) in the pit last week and since I have 2 very good BotD Zerkers decided to sell it for as much loot as possible.
I made a game SupEthZerk and a few ppl joined to trade. I was amused by one obviously new but rich pre teener that offered 20 vex for the zerker. This would make me rich and i made the trade. He was all excited about making the ultimate BotD and after a few seconds he starts screaming and ranting and raving.
Apparantly he had all the right runes but he put them in the wrong order and saw that instead of a Godly Runeword weapon he had a very expensive mess. The cuss words and expletives he spewed were legendary for someone so young. he flamed this Pally that had the gall to laugh at his misfortune and called him the N word .
I asked him what order he had put the runes in and he called me pretty colorfull name and dropped the Zerker in question saying "you keep it you A hole, this game sucks!" I grabbed it up so fast i almost pulled a wrist muscle.
I unsocketed it and told him "hey i got another Sup Eth Zerker if you got more Highs" I felt kinda bad , like i was scamming him, and i suppose i was but he said he didnt have enough runes anymore and besides I was just an A hole. The pally was hysterically laughing at the kid but he was still so mad he didnt seem to understand what had happened.
I asked him how long he had been playing and he said a few months, I asked him where he got the runes, he said his dad got them for him so i suspected some item site. I told him the whole story and he demanded i give the zerker up. I said simply" you dropped it, you told me i could keep it, its mine" of course this brought a wave of foulness i havent heard since my time in the Marines=)
He threatened me and begged me and all the while 4 or 5 ppl in the game were rolling in laughter. I suspect this didnt do much to change his behavoir, but then B Net is full of snotty little kids with no manners.
20 vex and i still have the Zerker, i WANT to feel bad for the kid but his incredible anger, foul mouth and blind rage makes it a little bit easier to just shake my head and smile.
This game has its moments
Q: would you have made the trade??
Q: would you have given the zerker back??
