CLOSED uppseting

I brokered 2 guys for 1 K AT on the market, and no answer. 2 K AT is outside and I have now 4. Cannot farm. I am basically helpless. Why do people leave their offers on the forum when they are not online?

Re: uppseting

did you check the date of the last post by the person with the topic? sometimes they are old... i know its happened to me before :( then again, some people leave topics up and just accept brokers once they are back... inconsiderate sorta but i guess you gota do what ya gota do.

It happens. That is why I make my OWN threads. To stop the idiocy of others upon me. Sometimes it works, others times.. well.. not so much.

From now on, I'd suggest making your own thread. ;)

Re: uppseting

Yeah best advice is make your own thread. Doesn't normally take long for someone to come along and broker you.
If you do make your own thread and happen to go offline then just edit the subject line to say offline, that's what quite a few people do to make you aware they aren't online.

But it does suck when that sort of thing happens.

Re: uppseting

yeah, i make sure i never use all my broker slots up, i've had to wait almost the full 3 days for people to accept before, so i keep at least 1 broker available and advertise to buy on the forum if i run out whilst waiting, that way i can usually keep farming even when slackers are not accepting quickly enough :)

Re: uppseting

Also maybe send them an ingame pm first before brokering, to make sure they are still around/online.

ingame or on forum either one.

Honestly the best thing you can do is get a good traders list. Using that you can for the most part never run out of anything. Knowing who you do business with is the best way to do business.

When I was a heavy trader I had my MSN divided with my traders section at the top, and I often over paid, or simple sent "gifts". I never, ever needed for anything.
