Potential Customer: Hi!
Weaponsmith: hello
(PC): How you doing?
(WS): I'm doing good my corns are acting up a bit and I'm feeling a little on the sneezy side. However other than that I'm in perfect health *cough*. Thanks for asking.
(PC): uh okay.
(2 minute pause)
(PC):so are you going to answer my question about my sword?
(WS): *hmm looks through the chat log and the Instant message log* Nope can't find any questions* Nope!
(PC): Why not?!!
(2 minute pause)
(PC): hey?
(1 minute pause)
(PC): why wont you answer my question about my sword?
(WS): That's because you didn't ask any questions about your sword. I can't answer anything unless it's asked. My title doesn't say Master Mind Reader *looks about* #wonders# Does it?!!#
(WS): #thinking# Hmm come to think of it my tittle must change because that was the 3rd time I was asked for money from people I don't know it must also switch to Galaxie Savings and Loan as well.
(PC): Oh, I was going to ask you a question.
(Pause 2 minutes)
(WS): Well, Are you going to ask the question or do I really have to change my title to master palm reader and gleen it from that grey matter you call a brain?
(PC):Nevermind

Here's one that may or may not have happened to you...
Customer: I need 50k worth of Grenades... Can you make them for me? All I got is 50k to spend...
Me: Sure...
*pause*
*grabs a single glop grenade off my vendor*
Me: Here ya go! That'll be 50k...
Come on folks. Don't leave yourself that open! 
Here's another one...
My wife and I are expecting our first child anyday now. And like a good merchant I wanted to give fair warning that stock may run low and that I cannot accept orders during this time. I gave all of my vendors in my tent ad barking that said this message. If I had a credit for every player that ignored this message and placed an order instead, I'd be rich... And I only had this up for a few weeks. One guy bought out all my Geo Pistols that I made with a bunch of white cubes I had laying around. 2 minutes after he bought them all, he not only ignored the ad barking message, but proceeded to place and order in a /tell. And worse yet his order was for Geo Pistols in bulk...
Me: Sure I have 40 crates in my factory... just let me get them... "Here's your sign..."

i still think my best "dumb Question ever" was :
browsing the bazaar term at the mining outpost on dant for good usable components....there must be AT LEAST 5 master docs hawking buffs there.. as usuall ...( Im a wookie in full black mtn hunting armor with a VibroLance in my hand
guy: hey
MWS: howdy
guy: can you buff?
MWS: umm.. whats my title say?
guy: Master weaponsmith
MWS: and?
guy: well you never know till you ask right?
MWS: you have got to be joking with me right? theres not enough skill pts in this game for me to be MWS AND Master Doc man. what? are you nuts?
guy: well no its possible, they just wouldnt be master doc buffs.
MWS; and you think im on Dant here with my MWS title on holding a VibroLance and in full armor waiting to sell my funky Buffpack Class C's to folks too poor to buy the "good Stuff" from all these docs here right?
guys: geez, sombody is sure in a bad mood, a simple no would have been fine.
MWS: umm .. have a nice day.... /addignore <guy>
and the crowd goes wild!!!!! afterwards i must have recieved 20 tells from those standing around listening, telling me what a noob that guy was among other things and they would have /addignored him after the second question. of course they also asked me for food, buffs, hot clothing items, if i could trian thier pets, AND fix thier armor :-) lol

I don't carry any armor repair kits so I can't repair armor and wouldn't do it if I had any. I also don't carry any boneso I couldn't craft bone armor and again wouldn't if I had any. I am a weaponsmith if I wanted to craft armor I would be an armorsmith only idiots ask weaponsmiths to craft armor.Beside that,I haven't seen anyone actuallywearing bone armorin a long time. Oh ya, and quit being an idiot everyone here knows what I meant when I posted that a month ago - get a life.

I'm surprised at the amount of people who say this ranting is a bad thing. I mean really...we all started the game as noobs at one point, but there's a huge difference between asking legitimate questions and just pestering people.
A legitimate question would be walking into your localWalmart and asking an employee where their kitchenware aisle is. Pestering would be calling the CEO of Walmart at home while he's having supper and asking him where the kitchenware aisle is in your hometown store.
Its all about the channels you use to get information. All that the posters here are doing is calling out the idiots who suffer from the lackcommon sense and respect syndrome that comes standard with an internet account. I'd sure love to see one of these guys fire off a phone call to Bill Gates:
c: Hi
bg: Hi
c: Do you make software?
bg: ........
c: Please tell me all the softwarethat you sell?
bg: .....................
c: If I give you $10, can you fly to my house and get rid of a virus thats on my computer?
bg: .........................................
c: Fine, 2 of my best friends have multibillion-dollar software companies, and they'll do it for FREE.

Person who said not possible to be Master Doc and MWS, I believe it is. If you can be a Master Doc and TKM, then the same must be for MWS.

But the key is the vibro lance that he mentions...theres not enough SP to be a Master Weapon smith, MD and at the minimum a novice pikeman.
