Hi.
It started out with me (kanver) asking about prices:
[20:25:37] [kanver @ 3]: Let me ask you.. how are FEs still 3.5 when the ingredients sell for 4.5?
[20:25:46] [Zipher @ 3]: they dont
[20:26:11] [Zipher @ 3]: sulver2gc flowers .5 each
[20:26:14] [burn @ 3]: sulfur 2gc, roses 0.5gc, snaps 0.5gc
[20:26:18] [KingScandu @ 3]: =2.5
[20:26:21] [NooBPL @ 3]: suilphur 2gcs flower 0.33 flower 0.5
[20:26:23] [KingScandu @ 3]: *3.5
[20:26:32] [NooBPL @ 3]: yea, it must be 4.5gcs
[20:26:37] [NooBPL @ 3]:
[20:27:01] [kanver @ 3]: Really? I've been playing for 2 weeks after a long break. From what I gathered it's 0.8-1 per flower and 2.5 for sulfur.
[20:27:11] [kanver @ 3]: Because of those stupid mini events
I've tried to buy flowers for the usual 0.5 for days. The best offer I got was 0.9. Sulfur was offered to me at 2.5. I'm not saying that this is the "official"price, but that's how it was presented to me. Anyway...
[20:27:19] [Maxine @ 3]: TOPIC
[20:27:22] [silvatica @ 3]: then they overcharge you kanver
Someone kindly pointed ot to me, that I had a wrong price.
[20:27:29] [NooBPL @ 3]: ur problem, but it's #3:P
[20:27:35] [kanver @ 3]: What? Market prices are perfectly on topic.
[20:27:48] [Maxine @ 3]: best to do a pc before trying to sell an item for the first time, pc steel shield please
[20:27:53] [NooBPL @ 3]: Wbut ur break from game isn't...
[20:27:59] [Ghrae @ 3]: Buy/sell/trade/price check = market. Discussing market conditions is best for #jc 4
I never ever made this conversation about me having a break or discussing the market conditions. I wondered about the prices, I asked #3 about the FE price, I never tried to "discuss" the prices.
[20:28:03] [Maxine @ 3]: MUTING STARTS NOW
[20:28:13] [adi @ 3]: caps plz
[20:29:34] [kanver @ 3]: Incredible. Fine, I'll never say another word again other than the three oficially sanctioned sentences.
Obviously, at this point, I was pissed off. The market channel is only there for "pc xy pls", "selling xy" or "buying xy"? Come on! It's the market channel.
[20:29:46] You were channel muted (can't talk on the channels for 20 minutes) by Maxine.
[20:30:03] [PM to Maxine: Thanks for proving my point.]
[20:30:03] [PM from Maxine: Automessage: I am currently away from my computer]
[20:30:25] [Maxine @ 3]: first mute done, more volunteers?
[20:30:56] [Zipher @ 3]: maxine is scary :/,, selling 3 efe's
I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong. I asked about the price of a specific item. I was corrected, a mod got agressive and muted me.
Is this acceptable? Is the mod completely right for doing that? If so, I'm going to leave for good. I can see how that last comment wasn't perfectly fine, but overall, my feeling is that there has to be a serious violation of the rules if you want to mute/ban someone. This wasn't even close to it.
