Hearthstone

So I drafted a Tuskarr Totemic as warrior+shaman in the arena, but when played his battlecry didn't trigger so you might want to be careful while drafting. Or might have just been a bug who knows

FYI most recent patch seems to have broken Hearthstone Deck Tracker, likely as a new version on Unity is being employed.

Or at least myself and other people in the relevant discord are experiencing this issue.

Can play without but like to keep the stats and pack opening stats.

Thought I'd post to stop others from trying to fault find the problem as we'll need to wait for a HDT release to fix.

As almost everyone knows blitzchung is kicked out of gm and is not allowe to play competive hearthstone for a year also hes dont get any prize from this season

This is the official article about it

This thread is not meant for hate or insults but to have a adult discussion/conversation 

It is expected that with the new tavern, we get also the special halloween event including dual class arena and meta-shake with cards returning to standard.

I've been off for some time and need to ask whether they still grant a free ticket to anyone with an incomplete arena or not. I currently have a 2 loss arena but if they grant a ticket, i'm fine leaving it like it is now :P

I have beaten all 5 chapters on normal with ease and beaten alle 4 Wings on heroic with Finley, Elise and Brann (no Bosses so far with Reno), so I thought I farmed enough treasures to beat the last boss on heroic. But how on earth do I have a chance against this dude, when he throws 2 C'Thuns with about 60/60 stats 2 turns in a row in my face, one-shoting two of my 4 heroes?

Beside these overbuffed C'Thuns the fight was "ok" so far. I nearly cleared phase 2 and had two heroes left - but as I said, these giant C`Thuns were unbeatable for me and I could see a way to prevent this nonsense. x_X

Hey, I've got a question concerning this new event.

Rag and sylv were originally classic cards, before they hof'd them. Now they are coming back, but they still have the HOF march on their card.

Will my man Zephris(probs spelled that wrong) offer them? Do you think they coded it, or...

Will he start offering ragnaros all the time instead of turion?

Hi

A little history: I like playing Hunter and I'm F2P. The only Legendary I have crafted is Zul'jin. So, with that in mind, I can't just transform it into Highlander or Quest. I don't have the dust.

This is my deck:

I wondered if anyone had any recommendations or other feedback on it?

Even if it's only once :-)

This isn't a rant about power, or even frustration. This is about design space. I think that Frost Nova seriously limits the design space of freeze effects for Mage. With Frost Nova and Blizzard, Mage has insane board locking presence. They can prevent all enemy minions from attacking up to four times. That's totally balanced, but it means that you really can't print another mass freeze effect (at least not one with a bonus effect worth using). Being able to do that six times is far too much. With both cards being Classic, that's an entire design that that's just... not viable.

Obviously if Nova were to go, it would have to be prefacing a set where Blizzard was intending to add another mass freeze. That makes the most sense.

The reason I think Nova should go over Blizzard is because it's cheaper and has no other effects, which makes it harder to balance. Also, Blizzard is too entertaining to cut from Standard. I also know that Cone of Cold exists, but that's just a worse Frost Nova (ergo, a side effect that's not worth using). Maybe without Nova, Cone of Cold could even see play - that might be interesting.

Thoughts? Do you agree or am I talking out of my ass?

Here are my thoughts, followed by a few questions:

My thoughts:

Lord Jaraxxus is one of the best cards ever printed by Hearthstone. It inspired the creation of all the hero cards that came in the Frozen Throne. It has the best emote of the game during Christmas. Plus, Lord Jaraxxus was Ben Brode's favorite card. Even though Hearthstone created an instant kill through a card, Sacrificial Pact, people still played Lord Jaraxxus. Because the risk was worth the play.

Then came Bloodreaver Gul'dan which outclassed Lord Jaraxxus and players had to wait two years to play Lord Jaraxxus.

Now Lord Jaraxxus is again a deleted card because [Hearthstone Card (zephyrs the great) Not Found] produces Sacrificial Pact and instant kills Lord Jaraxxus. This fact will be true forever in Wild.

A few questions:

If Sacrificial Pact is nerfed, would Lord Jaraxxus see play?

What are the chances that this change may occur in light of the accessibility of Sacrificial Pact to all highlander decks?

Thank you for your time. I would have posted this in a card discussion area for Lord Jaraxxus but there is no place to discuss Lord Jaraxxus.

So I'm just gonna try to predcit how the 23 Wild cards will impact all 9 classes. I'm mostly doing this to see what applications other people think of and if I missed certain combos. Anyways, here goes.

Druid

Quest Druid has gotten another very powerful tool with Kun the Forgotten King. At face value, he doesn't look very immpressive, seeing how it'S still just a 0-mana 7/7 at turn 10 only...but thanks to the Quest you also get 10 Armor, which can be very relevant in a lot of matchups, not to mentiont that the body will usually demand an answer fro your opponent. Even if he ends up not being included in the deck (although I don't see why he wouldn't) you're probably still going to have to account for him appearing through Discovery

Astral Communion will probably not have any impact. I don't know why they gave us this over something potentially more interesting. There's just not even enough big cards that would warrant running this. At best you could run it in a Quest deck and hope you don't brick after dumping your hand. One saving grace might be Overflow, but I doubt it will be enough.

Ragnaros the Firelord, Sylvanas Windrunner and [Hearthstone Card (N'zoth the Corruptor) Not Found] could find their way into Quest Decks, but there is little overall synergy.

Emperor Thaurissan on the other hand, might have some applications, mainly if one were to give [Hearthstone Card (Gonk the Raptor) Not Found] another shot. With Gonk dead you can discount Mad Summoner and double Witching Hour + any number of attack buffs (Claw and Pounce mostly) and actually pull off the combo in one turn without having to RNG the Dreampetal Florist that being said, this is still a 5-7 card combo that requires you to play and kill off a 7-drop (that also cannot be transformed), making it even more inconsistent than Malygos currently is. Not to mention the relatively high amount of combo pieces makes the Quest shell much weaker.

Mage

Now Mage is a pretty interesting case since it'S currently on life support. People don't seem to be that excited about Babbling Book, but I think it could be crucial in making more tempo oriented Mage builds (including Secret Mage) more viable, purely on the basis of being an actual 1-drop for a class that currently has none.

Flamewaker on the other hand feels a bit overhyped. Granted, we can go machinegun with a Sorcerer's Apprentice and a Mana Cyclone for reload, but would be more of a combo deck, not unlike the previous Cylone Mage which isn't all that great at the moment. I still believe Flamewaker is good enough to pick Mage up from the dumpster, but I don't think we're gonna get higher than tier 2.

Regular Tempo Mage also seems a bit weak at the moment...at least too weak to rely entirely on Flamewaker to carry it. Keep in mind that unless you are absolutely certain he won't get removed, you can't actually play Flamewaker on 3, and you need at least apprentice, Ray of Frost, Cyclone and Elemental Evocation to really pop off...in a deck that can't tutor any of the pieces.

Aside from the class cards Emperor Thaurissan is a strong addition to Highlander Mage (since you're usually holding a big hand and it bridges the 7-mana gap in some cases). Furthermore, N'zoth allows for another board refill by just running [Hearthstone Card (Karthut Defender) Not Found], Rotten Applebaum and Sylvanas Windrunner. Ragnaros might find a way in too, but I suspect that would be a bit greedy.

Whatever happens, Mage is certainly going to be much better than it is now, even if just by a little.

Paladin:

Now it's pretty obvious that Secret Paladin is going to return. Both Mysterious Challenger (effectively Subject 9 on steroids) and Avenge (the best secret to keep a lead on the board) should be enough to make the deck at lest playable. The draw issue is pretty much solved, although including both Challenger and Bellringer Sentry will warrant quite a large amount of Secrets. Maybe MC makes its way into Highlander Paladin as well with a Secret heavy build (read: every single available Secret) although I feel like Octosari is still a safer choice.

Much less talked about is the potential Control Paladin, that could "return". Paladin has always been the best class (next to Warlock) to use N'zoth, but it just never took off. A N'zoth that resurrects Tirion Fordring, Sylvanas and Karthut Defenders is probably the best turn 10 play for any lategame deck. What's different this time around is the existence of the Holy Wrath + [Hearthstone Card (Shirvallah the Tiger) Not Found] combo. With just 3 cards you add a 25 damage burst into a control deck, but instead of going the regular way of mowing through your deck we play it slow and grind out the opponent until we finish him off. You can go pretty light on the minion side and just use the best defensive options and a bit of draw with most of the removal spells. The challenge would be to properly balance the amount of removal and actual minions. The biggest problem with this idea would be that most other classes will just end up running N'zoth as well and it's questionable whether the addition of Tirion is enough of an upside to make a difference.

N'zoth could also work in a minion focussed Midrange/lategame deck, maybe even Highlander (just don't run Octosari or you will find a very unfortunate end).

Hunter

Hunter got some very solid additions. Lock and Load is probably not going to be competitive, but makes a very spell heavy Hunter at least worth trying. I can't see it taking up a slot in Highlander however. Value Generation isn't exactly needed for Hunter at the moment.

Call of the Wild on the other hand is way more interesting. It occupies a very interesting mana slot at 9, meaning that you can play it as a set up for Zul'jin which is especially relevant since it mitigates the downside of having to play Zul'jin for tempo/defense without having used Unleash the Beast first. With just this and a few Secrets you will have enough value to stay in the game. Not to mention the card isn't a bad topdeck later on at gives you 5-damage reach.

N'zoth and Sylvanas are also interesting. On one hand you could build a deathrattle centered Highlander build. In this slower variant Emperor Thaurissan might get good value as well. Next to that there's the possibility of reviving mech Deathrattle. Nine Lives is already incredible and Sylvanas onnly makes it better. Going light on the actual deathrattles to get the best possible outcome from N'zoth would also allow for more defensive tools. The main argument for this deck would be that N'zoth being popular makes grindy decks better and requires more value to beat them, which current Highlander Hunter probably can't.

Shaman

I see no real use for Thing from Below. There's just not enough totems at the moment to get any benefit out of it. Evolve on the other hand fits perfectly into all Shaman decks running Mogu Fleshshaper. The combo of Fleshshaper + Mutate is already busted and Evolve just doubles the consistency (next to being even more generally useful in token decks than Mutate).

Shaman can also make good use out of N'zot since Shudderwock essentially gives you a second one. Combine it with lackey generators and Hagatha the Witch you have a solid lategame plan to grind most decks into dust...the question is whether this is a better grinding gameplan than other N'zoth decks.

Rogue

Swashburglar is great for both Quest and Quest-less thief Rogue. It essentially makes curving into a Underbelly Fence much easier without the tempo loss of Pilfer (except against other Rogues). As a result it makes the Burgle package a much better inclusion in just about any possible Rogue build. [Hearthstone Card (Shaku the Collector) Not Found] on the other hand is pretty much garbage. It's a slower Blink Fox with stealth + soft taunt being the only upside. Not great when you have to consider that getting a 0-cost Vendetta on turn 3 might be more important.

Once again we have Deathrattle shenanigans. [Hearthstone Card (Anka the Buried) Not Found] allows for shenanigans with Sylvanas (and Anubisath Warbringer), while Shadowstep and [Hearthstone Card (Togwaggle's Scheme's) Not Found] enables complete N'zoth lockdown. The resulting deck might be unbearably slow and bricky, but it's gonna be loads of fun when it pays off. You thought infinite Tess Greymane was a Warrior killer? Let's see how many Sylvanas the can deal with before they give up.

Priest

I'll be honest, I have no idea how Priest is going to turn out. Vol'jin doesn't really have a purpose at the moment. Priest doesn't run 2-damage removal so there's really no point to include him anywhere. Lightbomb is a good additional boardclear which will make the slower Quest/Resurrect builds a bit better against aggro and N'zoth and Sylvanas won't hurt either in that kind of deck. Once again the question remains which class makes the best use of N'zoth.

Warlock

Gul'dan got shafted again. Renounce Darkness is for memes only, obviously, although Zephrys could probably be of use in there (if you get lucky enough to not get too many duplicates, and let's be honest that's kind of why you play the deck in the first place).

Zoo get Imp Gang Boss, which is still one of the most powerful standalone 3-drops in the game which will imrpove their winrate but won't change their palystyle. Highlander Zoo certainly appreciates it.

N'zoth Sylvanas and Ragnaros are very interesting additions to Plot Twist Warlock as both Fel Lord Betrug and Dollmaster Dorian can get incredibly value from them (they can be used to quickly charge your N'zoth with Karthut defenders or Sylvanas). Combine it with Mechanical Whelp and there's a decent strategy. Unfortunately it has to compete with all other potential N'zoth grinders, where it will most likely lose out based on the fact that it hits fatigue way earlier. Personally I'm going to revive my Anubisath-HIr'eek-Omega Agent Handbuff build, because why not, it's not like it's getting any better.

Warrior

Not terribly exciting. Bloodhoof Brave is a potentially cool card for Aggro/Tempo Warrior (specifcally Highlander), but it's probably not proactive enough. Taunt Warrior has unfortunately been nerfed through the discovery nerf, so I don't see that picking up steam all of a sudden. Varian Wrynn could potentially make it viable, but with Tomb Warden and [Hearthstone Card (Frigthened Flunky) Not Found] having pretty much essential battlecries it makes no sense to risk pulling them out on the field.

I also don't believe in Big Warrior. Warrior has no ramp or mana cheating and waiting until turn 10 to actually do stuff is just...not realistic.

Funnily enough, Control Warrior is probably also the least likely class to make good use out of N'zoth. having no class deathrattles means at best you're gonna get a Karthut wall with Sylvanas in a deck that wins the lategame through other means. It might still end up running N'zoth out of necessity just to not get outvalued by all other Deathrattle decks.

I really wish we got [Hearthstone Card (Alexstraza's Champion) Not Found] instead.

Miscellaneous

I currently see no real good use for The Curator. There aren't any good murlocs or dragons outside of tribal decks. Nightmare Amalgam technically gives you two guaranteed draws, but that's not really enough to slot into any deck. The only thing I can come up with would be a) Midrange Dragon Paladin with Murmy and a Mech Package or b) Hooktusk Rogue with the same principle (which is just an inferior version of Tempo/thief Rogue anyways, so no point).

I also can't really imagine Ragnaros in too many decks. He's a good card and there's a reason why he was Hall of Famed, but at this point in the game most decks are so heavily specialized that they have simply no space for a card that doesn't actually synergize with their gameplan. The only exception are Highlander decks of course. Hunter will probably find a place for Rag, purely on the basis of not having an 8-drop, and Mage will probably enjoy having any proactive options. He might be too greedy for Paladin though (although he could be an interesting choice in Quest Paladin....if that deck wasn't dead).

Thaurissan probably has way more combos than I listed, but I don't think most of them will amount to anything more than memes. He's probably best as just a Highlander 6-drop in Mage to smooth out the curve.

Closing thoughts

Writing this I kinda got worried that the meta might become a very one dimensionnal N'zoth slugfest for a while until the best N'zoth class emerges to kick all others off the table...who will then proceed to build the most aggressive decks possible to kill them before turn 10.

Whatever happens, i'm glad that this event exists, even if just to showcase how broken stuff can get with the right tools. If the meta goes completely haywiere at least we only have to wait until November for it to return back to normal. Pretty sure after being N'zoth-locked for 3 weeks straight will make Control Warrior look fun and interactive in comparison.

Having great fun knocking up some decks. Easy to make, quick to play.

My favourite deck so far:

Hallow's End 2019 begins at 10:00 AM PT on October 8 and runs until 9:00 AM PT on October 30!

The Dual-Class Arena Hallow’s End dress-up party is back! When you start an Arena run during the Doom in the Tomb event, you’ll choose a Hero, then a Hero Power, and card offerings will feature cards from BOTH of those classes, in addition to neutral cards.

• To ensure that players have a chance to try out this devilish dual-class deck-building dress-up party, weeks 1 and 2 of this event will award Arena Tickets on login!

IMPORTANT: Players who have an active Arena run when this begins will have their current run ended and will receive an Arena Ticket as compensation.

• Play out your run to x-2 (x wins and max. 2 losses) if you want more rewards from your run, or just leave it at 0-0 if you dont want to bother playing.
• Friendly Neighborhood Gladiator: if you do plan on leaving your run at 0-0, might as well start two games and concede to two players, getting some positive karma :) You will get the identical rewards for 0-0 and 0-2 score.

So far, the announced sets for this event are:

• Curse of Naxxramas
• Goblins vs. Gnomes
• Blackrock Mountain
• The Grand Tournament
• League of Explorers
• Whispers of the Old Gods
• One Night in Karazhan
• Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
• Journey to Un'Goro
• Knights of the Frozen Throne
• Kobolds & Catacombs

...meaning we might actually not have Basic and Classic sets included. Interesting.

FAQ

Q: When should I start my run to receive a free Arena Ticket for a retired run?

A: Ideally several hours before the event start/end, arena entries are generally closed few hours prior.

Q: Will I get another Arena Ticket, if I keep an active run before the event's end?

A: Yes.

Q: Do Arena Tickets stack?

A: Yes. (source)

Q: Do Arena Tickets expire?

A: No.

Q: Where are my rewards for the retired run? I opened my arena rewards but didn't get any pack or gold/dust.

A: This is a known bug, arena rewards are actually awarded to you once you finish your last game, before you open up the reward boxes. When an arena reset happens, it gets even more confusing because this happens on log in; sometimes you have to restart the game. People often see (1) pack in their inventory, don't think much about it, go open it and then go collect arena rewards only to find out they didn't get anything. But the fact is, that (1) pack on log in was actually the one from the arena rewards. Same with gold/dust, it was already added to your account even before you opened the arena rewards. You didn't lose anything.

Just initial thoughts and analysis also will add a star rating in the current meta/card pool

the stars are like this: (like Trumps rating)

5 - meta defining defines a tier 1 deck

4 - is in a tier 1 deck or defines a tier 2 deck

3 - is in a tier 2 deck or tech in tier 1 or defines a tier 3 deck

2- tried a bit then dropped

1- meme/awful.

Neutral:

N'Zoth, the Corruptor- 5 -   the meta is not that fast that this card won't see play in a control list, goes very well with sylvanas and there's no way sylvanas doesn't see play.

[Hearthstone Card (sylvannas windrunner) Not Found] -5- this card is insane we all know that it goes very well in hunter currently Nine Lives is a 3 mana mind control with it. apart from that any other slow midrange/control deck would play her.

Ragnaros the Firelord -5- this card was HOF before elementals were a thing in standard currently there is little synergy apart from mage and shaman with only a few cards that don't see play, but in mage it's really good with [Hearthstone Card (elemental invocation) Not Found], the card can also just be slapped into a variety of decks anyway.

The Curator -3- dragons are kinda dead in standard, beasts are everywhere and there is not really a generalist murloc you would want to draw, seems situational maybe in a sort of a lackey shaman with amalgam just to draw 3..?

Emperor Thaurissan -5- key card in any combo deck and enables them, there's no way no new combo deck we didn't think about shows up.

Druid:

Astral Communion -1- was bad, and is still bad.

Kun the Forgotten King -2- maybe tried in quest druid the card is good but currently doesn't do any crazy combo without Aviana and a 0 mana 7/7 that is a dead card until turn 10 is kind of meh.

Hunter:

Lock and Load -2- spell heavy hunters value engine, but are random hunter cards for 2 mana good enough.. nah I don't think so I used this card in solo adventures from rime to time wasn't impressed by it too much (by that I mean.. best case scenario it's not that great.)

Call of the Wild -4- highlander hunter is very strong and you slot it in for a more impactful zuljin it's a really good card and game closer, think it might be run in the deck cause of mainly zuljin and it's a good card just that when it got nerfed the meta was really fast and then death knights came around, so this card got quite left behind also go outclassed by To My Side! in spell hunter.

Mage:

Babbling Book- 3 - was a decent card but nothing really there are some really bad mage cards it's a 1/1+ that bad classic card, was briefly played in the past.

Flamewaker -5- now THIS is something mage needed, now more than ever with so many cheap spells/spell generation this card is as insane as ever tempo mage is back!

Paladin:

Mysterious Challenger -3- who am I? none of your business. this + the best paladin secret in the game makes secret paladin which got a ton of support in ROS a real contender this is kind of the late game the secret paladin needs.. it currently runs out of gas and that's it.. but MC makes the deck shine again that being said I think secret paladin is either a tier 3 or 2 deck cause of the power creep in the game

Avenge -4- this is the best paladin secret in the game it's worth including even in murloc decks I think so even if "Secret paladin" is not a thing this card might see play in the more aggressive paladin decks. Edit: facepalm on the murloc paladin ->  Prismatic Lens as @PopeNeia pointed out.

Shaman:

Evolve -5- slotted into quest shaman instead of mutate or in addition to mutate also good in aggro shaman.

Thing from Below-4- not as good as when it was in standard cause of no totem golem, 2 mana flametongue totem, and no taskarr totemic, but it's still a really good card and great evolve target.

Rogue:

Shaku, the Collector-?-

[Hearthstone Card (swashburglar-) Not Found]?- dunno how to evaluate thief rogue + 3 more thief cards don't think it will make the class suddenly great I am not sure how rogue does atm, but I didn't see them a lot lately. it does make the turn 2 underbelly more consistent.

Priest:

Lightbomb-5- res priest might make a return and this card just makes the deck much much better it's aoe they need to work currently they need either a 2 of in mass hysteria or to wait until turn 9.. this card just makes priest good again think res prist will be tier 1 with sylvanas being back.

Vol'jin-2- the card is decent, but I think it doesn't fit well into the current decks.

Warlock:

Imp Gang Boss -4- zoo is tier 2 and one really good 3 drop won't change it.

Renounce Darkness-1- meme

Warrior:

Varian Wrynn-2- there are some big warrior cards in boomsday, I think such deck is too greedy though.

Bloodhoof Brave -2- card is good, but it's not constructed good.

Edit: forgot hunter lol

Hi there. I was just wondering 2 things, since you are guaranteed to get a golden legendary by purchasing the Blizzcon'19 Virtual ticket:

1. Is this Legendary guaranteed from SoU exp?

2. If yes to 1. - if I have all the legendaries from that exp, I can dust one of them and then I will get that one, but in golden, right?

Thanks a lot for your replies and have a great day and a weekend!

So I glanced over hsreplay's meta section the other day and noticed that highlander warrior had taken the #1 spot. Kind of outta nowhere.

ViciousSyndicate have been talking about the deck for a while now but I guess it's extremely competitive.

Key advantages it has over aggro warrior is that it's favored against aggro warrior and its matchup against control warrior isn't as crippling (still unfavored but nowhere near as bad as aggro warrior's). I am aware that highlander warrior has mostly been experimented with at higher ranks, so its winrate and matchups might be a little inflated compared to the other decks.

Regardless, I've gotten bored of aggro warrior after playing it for two months. So I'm looking to try this deck out this weekend.

Have any of you guys played with/against highlander warrior? And if so, what are your experiences? Is it as strong as it seems?

For reference, this is the deck I'm talking about: https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/decks/highlander-aggro-warrior/

Here's one of the most reliable meta reports, for anyone who wants to have a look. Some pretty interesting things happening in the meta presently, particularly with regard to the newest addition to Tier 1 status, Aggro Warrior. Data Reaper Report

It also makes note that the meta is just about to get completely shaken up when the wild cards enter the standard game.

Played Celticshark5's Face Auction deck (it's super cheap), but accidentally died because of fatigue since I drew too many cards. It seems that the deck will only refresh 4 times for a total of 30 cards, although it could be more - I didn't count. Keep this in mind!

Hi all,

Can I warn anyone using the 80g Quest Trading thread not to trade with Vegetaz (Battletag: HaVoC#2426), as I strongly suspect she/he's using the thread to farm community members for their 80 gold quests when she/he doesn't have one to trade with.  Reasons I suspect this are as follows:

I currently have the 80g quest and viewed the 80g Quest thread at around 7am GMT today to find the latest EU member who had posted, so I could do a quick trade.  Vegetaz/HaVoC had posted, offering the trade, on the condition that whoever responded goes first, so I requested him/her in the game.  She/he accepted me.  So far, so good.  I then asked to see Vegetaz/HaVoC's quest before I initiated a game (and my 80g quest) with him/her. 

At this point, Vegetaz/HaVoC posted back with words to the effect of "What, don't you trust me?  Just play your quest or I'll find someone else.".  I replied saying, basically, "Well, why would I trust you? I've only just met you?"  At that point Vegetaz/HaVoC defriended me, with no further reply.  I reported the post with the information I've given here.  I also had another look at Vegetaz/HaVoC's post on the 80g thread and noticed it had been downvoted.  I added my own downvote for good measure.

I checked the site when I got home from work about half an hour ago, and Vegetaz's post has been removed, presumably as a result of me reporting it.  However, I had a look back over the last few pages of the thread.  On page 22, Vegetaz has posted five separate offers of the 80g quest over the course of the last week, and each post has been downvoted, suggesting another member has been fleeced by him / her, or smelt a rat, as I did.

I hope none of the mods mind me flagging this up in a separate thread, but it seems like this user is a serial scammer.  I see that there isn't currently a blacklist at the start of the 80g thread (as was the case on the old site) and I'm not sure if the thread is regularly monitored by any mods, so there's possibly a vulnerability that's being exploited here.  I think the community on this site is awesome - a lot more respectful of each other than the old site - and I just wanna do my bit to keep it that way.

Anyway, that's it.  Bottom line is, don't trade with Vegetaz (Battletag: HaVoC#2426)

Peace out,

Majere
