Thread: Gotta love this
great posts, been there and done that on so many of those. My personal favorite, and one I seem to get a lot is:
"Can you make me some clothes"
"Well I certainly hope so, or the Master Tailor over my head is kind of useless"
(insert long pause here while they absorb that statement)
"Ok well I need some clothes"
"Why don't you check out my shop, I have 3 vendors and a large stock and then if you can't find what you want you can email me an order"
"I want black pants and a black shirt"
"Ok, well there's a lot of black items in stock on the vendor"
"How much will it cost?"
"That depends on the style, probably around 2k for a basic outfit-black pants/black shirt"
"I need black boots, black gloves and a black belt too"
"Ok those are on the vendors also but that will cost you extra"
"So, can you make that?"
(insert another long pause, this time me banging my head on my desk)
(compose myself and send my waypoint)
"I sent my waypoint, go look on the vendors and I'm sure you'll find what you need"
Conversation usually ends here and I never hear from them again.

The idiocy continues.... with a happy ending!!!
First Smacktard sends me the following 3 e-mails:

e-mail 3: entitled n'Jessi - avoid it

> Someone sent me a mass mail with a link for your castle anthrax, told to avoid it, that it was disgusting. Is this a new advertisement scheme ? Sent by Smacktard. I know you only by your sterling reputation, your flawless fashions your amazing web site and such. You are an amazing credit to the server. I am going to go check out castle Anthrax Tonight !

> I am shocked and mortified. That is the BEST looking shop I have seen in forever ! What an amazing job decorating ! You are amazing, and should have your own vendor among the gods ! Clothing prices inexpensive and your armor is great. I don't know who Smacktard is but he or she is banished to my ignore list. I am SO impressed. I know you must be busy and not have time for the babblings of a stranger, but I am Joe of **guild withheld**, a guild that prides itself on commerce and I don't think there is a shop that is so clever in the entire city of **city withheld**. What an amazing job you did of raising the bar !

Then smacktard sends me what can only be a mass e-mail....

> Since N'jessi may be a little girl that plays this game, and I don't really know her, I want to retract what I said and ask everyone to shop at her store. This could well have been ( and my bad for not thinking of it ) a very young girl that did not know any better. Please give her your business for clothes?

I guess pressure to not be a jerk, eh? I love it how she warps what she said to me.... trust me, she said all those things. I wrote my initial post at the time of the encounter. This **name withheld** I had never heard of... so maybe it was a little bird who told me about George Lucas.
On the bright side, people knew she was lying and gave her the grand shove-off. On the not-so-bright side, now everyone knows about my little secret shop!! I'll never have a moment's peace.
Still it's a happy ending.
Oh my gawd! I did read that on the merchant forum before. Thank you for posting chapter two. *is having a giggle fit*
"Little girl?" Has she never looked at your site or seen your shop? Sounds more like she dug up the lamest excuse she could find and tried to use it as a shield to cover her ignorance. I'm glad to see your sterling reputation was able todefend againsther feeble attacks.
I try not to argue at all with people like her; especially after seeing a quote in someone's sig which really hit me as too true!
"Never argue with an idiot. They will sink you to their level and beat you with experience."

You there?
Yes. What can I do for you?
Can you make me some clothes for free?
Are you a citizen of Swamptown?
No
But I'm just starting out.What do you want?
Something that looks cool.
Okay. Well, what kinds of clothes do you like.
I don't know. lol. You pick them out for me.
I think all of us get these kinds of emails, and I've only been a master tailor for about 5 days. Part of the trade, I suppose.

Fun listening to you tailors blowing off steam... actually learnt quite a bit from this thread! Will never ask for anything black ever again!!! Will specify a really dark grey instead...
Trouble is, of course, that most of your new customers know absolutely nothing about clothes (I include myself here!) until they're educated about them by a tailor... catch-22, want clothes, tailors only like customers who know what they're talking about, don't know what I'm talking about until a tailor explains things to me, but of course tailors only really want customers who've already got a clue... etc.
To be fair, the few tailors I've met in game have been quite patient with me, and have been the best commerce RP-ers around.
Hows about this for a deal - if I promise not to ask for "sumthing black that looks l33t like neo or luk skywalker cos they roxxors", will you be gentle with me??
