I first played GMS and because of MTS I never really used FM. But now when I am forced to use FM in EMS I find it shockingly funny, sometimes amusing, but most of the time plain frustrating. Not because there are many bots which spam meso selling sites, but because of...I presume merchants who are there only to make a profit on misfortunes of others. So I pretend that I am clueless about prices. And ask for offer, I got about 10 of them in less then 20minutes...I was selling overall dex 60% scroll and not a single person would offer a fair price...I got all offers in range from 1.5-2.5m When I decline and say that I am ready to sell under fm shops prices and that the most active cheap fm price of this item was about 8.9m I got called names. Sometimes they would spam and calling me noob, but most of the time there are just laughs. One thing is to not be ready to pay a price which seller is asking, and complete other thing is to insult someone. Now, I had experience in games where scamming is encouraged like eve online, and because of it my definition of scamming is gaining less then current market value for item which you are selling, or paying more then current market value for item, and even there people have some sort of decency in theirs act. If you failed to cheat a player and well make more then double profit because of lack of theirs knowledge do you really think that laughing and being rude, repulsive will make them change theirs mind? Or those people are aware that they cant make a deal and just need to forget theirs inner insecurity by trying to diminish others? Some kind of "feel better insult others" pill? If you remember some stories when you first started playing maple, or some recent ones about frustration on FM because of not so benevolent people there, share it.

If the FM could be refreshed of everything, I would take a FM 1 Door Spot and start selling everything at below average prices for all those people who got ripped by merchants. Hell, I'd even buy items from NPC Shops and resell in my shop for even cheaper.

Well its the internet. As long as you dont know them in r/l you really cant do anything =. I mean it happens a lot to a lot of people but it happens. Just ignore them and it'll all be good.

I love getting together some larger groups just to cause deflation to piss off merches, just get ahold of a bil or so and you can wreak havoc on all the local merches.

I hate merchants too. They are really rude and are only aiming to rip people off.
