Possible eBay Scammers

[Brewcat 3]

I was playing on an EU server last night and while reading the text chat I saw someone complaining about not being able to log on (waiting server response..). Thing is, he went on to say he wasn't happy because he paid for the mod on eBay and now can't even log on in good time.

Said the eBay seller claimer to be supporting the devs, with all monies going to the developers..

Just thought I should flag this up, guy might be trolling but you never know given the popularity of the mod.

Oh yeah, first post. Love the mod. Best game I have ever played. Love it!

lol he buys the keys from a site then sells on ebay. The money is going to the devs of arma 2, not too bright of a thinker eh?

[savini 587]

Can't tell if serious...

waiting for server response is common.

I did a quick look on ebay, no sign of dayz being/been sold.

*shrugs* Who knows.

[Brewcat 3]

he didn't say when he bought it, so it might have been shutdown already. I've also just had a quick search and nothing so probably a troll..

[savini 587]

...

You buy ArmA. Then d/l DayZ.

Am I asleep right now?

I may be reading incorrectly.

[Brewcat 3]

Just to make things clear, the guy claimed he had bought the 'DayZ Mod' on eBay. In other words, he had bought a free to download mod, under the impression that his money would go toward suporting the future development of DayZ.

ok. I think I'm too tired to read things. :blush:

[Brewcat 3]

nah, I wasn't really that clear in my first post. Probably a load of rubbish anyway, as I can find no eveidence of any eBay sales of DayZ mod.

anyone buying a MOD is an idiot, PERIOD.

if its on sale its no longer a mod.

Um... not true.

Counter Strike is a MOD for Half-Life, and you can buy only CS from steam without the game

[liquidje 38]

The guy was probably not so bright and actually meant buying ArmA2. Maybe the guy also sends him instructions and sells it as a DayZ package?

Anyhow, if it is true, the seller is a douchebag for lying, but I don't really care if anyone would be so stupid for buying something free.

CS WAS a mod for HL , who Valve took over and made a product of.

I think you are missing a much bigger picture here and that is people believe DayZ is a Game and not a mod, the reasoning behind this is because Arma 2 is not present in the gamers terminology of DayZ enough.

for someone like me whos been playing Arma for years DayZ is just another mod, for others its the sole reason they are buying Arma 2.

If people can take advantage of that something needs to be done to impress upon the fact that DayZ is just a Bi Product of Arma 2 and not a full game itself.

So calling people stupid who may not understand the concept(considering a lot came from unmodifiable games) is stupid in its own right with the implication of stupidity due to lack of knowledge.

So instead of going against the post because of your theoretical lack of knowledge being the point in case, try to support by advertising the said lack of knowledge thereof.

Effectively.

Teach People you lazy git.

again the reason why people are buying a mod is because everyone keeps writing "Game" when they talk about DayZ.

DayZ is not a "Game" its a "Mod", we have agreed on that one, im saying people dont know its "Mod".

Not everyone is as versed in your worldly wisdom of mods and games unfortunately, and with every DayZ player calling it a "Game" and not a "Mod" equals in less knowledge of it being a "Mod".
