Today i was sitting outside the towers and a character dressed as a noob tried to get me to sell my hair to her for 10c, i said it was a dumb sale and she went on to say she had a million then just attacked me saying im ugly and lots of things because of it changing back into her expensive items. I'd like to say i worked hard for years in a game i love to get the stuff i have now and i dont just give away things for so cheap unless i legit dont want it and there is almost nothing i have now that i dont want. Anyway, I defended myself but bullying in game is just going way out of hand now, a few other people joined in to say rude stuff and i just left. I dont deal with them and im done helping noobs which i just think now is same players with new accounts. Say whatever you want, i helped "noobs" for quite awhile and always got yelled at for more, only 2 times a thank you and i have given 5k and items to the people i did help. I hope something happens because scammers are getting back in, (( I ran into one asking for help and she was telling another player she was banned and didn't remember why then unbanned recently )) and now bullying is just huge. Im 25, and even i think it's ridiculous.

"Attacked" is an interestingly amusing word to describe it,

Begging really isn't scamming.

"Bullying" is not acceptable...& this is what I gathered you were speaking of. Block, report & leave...You don't need to have stress in Yo World...

She wasn't begging, she was scamming. If you say you have millions, then say you'll pay 10coins for something someone spent 100k on, it's not begging. She was pretending to be a noob, then changed into nice stuff. Please dont defend people like her and her friends they ruin the game for alot of nice players.

Sorry that happened to you Blackrose. I don't blame you for not wanting to help so-called newbies either. It's not being mean or selfish to not give away your stuff. You don't have to support anyones game here. If people want stuff then they can go earn it. Hearing about incidents like this is the reason I only gift to certain good friends.

Asking to pay 10c for something is NOT a scam. It doesn't matter how many coins you have, offering a low price is not scamming. :lol:

Scamming and bullying has always been a huge issue in the game, especially at the towers, but that's no different than any part of the internet in which people interact. Since I started playing in the summer of 2009, the towers has always been notorious for scammers, bullies, and hackers/"script kiddies." This is why a great number of people avoid outside the towers all together.

I agree with you. More people i meet in the alton towers, more I agree that people are being rude. I've got really upset by seeing a bunch of boys who were trolling with some new players. And the minute I show up they started to troll me. And the question "do you want my duty belt, babe?" got me so mad, i wished i could punch them in the face. 1st they are dressing up like a noobs, not knowing that they were the same before. 2nd they know how hard is to work and get coins, but they still make fun of the new players. I think that 60% of the beggers are people who have been playing from years, just with noob dressed avatar.

I agree with the attacking statement how you were called names. That's basically attacking someone verbally. I don't know if I agree with you if it was scamming you for her saying she will buy your hair for 10c. Anyone can put any price on anything espically when they say "offer". But I could say she tryed to lowball something. Basically asking to trade Cupid's bow for Dress shoes. She was basically trying to get a hair for free

People like that shouldn't even be in Yo anymore. Take screenshots and report to BVG. I'm so sick of the troublemakers in Yo. If they are "trolling", "bullying", "namecalling", and "harrassing", they don't belong here and THEY should be the ones to go, NOT YOU Blackrose. Hopefully Greg will have more ingame mods to see what is going on for themselves.

I guess I have a really hard time understanding how a person can be so easily bothered by... someone who they do not even know calling them names or whatever, in a game over the internet.

Especially when all you have to do is click a button and poof!!

I certainly cannot take it as being serious bullying or an attack!!
