Boon of Gods is really a BIG disappointment, can't trade or gift it too I heard. My condolence to that poor Japanese chap.

Alright, now that we got some popcorn.....time for drama.

It's started off innocently in gloomy evening, I was browsing the 5* Trade section as usual looking at the usernames only. I tend to ignore threads from veterans cause they're really delusional. Often thinking that their best type can get them multiple other best types or Ace 5*. So I suddenly saw a new name (WayneLin), "Aha, a fellow Chinese fella!" I thought to myself. Then I looked at the title & it has "Int S.Banshee" as part of it & that is enough to make me click on it.

The thread is super simple, it's the mother of all TLDR version (thread here). When I look at how simple the thread is & look at his reputation (obviously zero), I kinda felt uncomfortable already cause it kinda indicates that he's a veteran. Trust me, I can tell a newbie's thread. It will generally be filled with flowery words that you'll tend to ignore & all you'll be looking for in the thread is the guardian name & type. So I press the "Back" button & moved on with my usual browsing.

After like 10 minutes or so, I felt a sudden itch. So I went back to the thread & actually PM-ed the TS an offer. After a while, I got well....the usual veteran reply "I have this & that already, any else?". Usually I'll give my typical "That's all I have, thanks for considering" reply too but again, felt a sudden itch. It's probably what most of your would called bontot gatal. So somehow, I decided to put some effort responded "Hmm, well I have that, this & that for trade". Surprisingly he replied pretty fast & he's actually keen in my guardians. Then we start negotiating since his response is quite positive & I've been wanting an Int Serenade Banshee for a while now. In the end, we settled with my FS Apsara, Brave Serenade Banshee (lightly stoned) & 20 stat stones iii for the Int Serenade.

So when he finally send the trade request, I saw his IGN (KYLee) & it rings a bell. So I did a quick search in the Report A Scammer subforum & WOAH the search actually worked! Work as in I got the message; "Thank you, your search has been submitted and you will now be taken to the results list.". That means that the keyword that I search exist in that subforum! "Damn! I'm dealing with a scammer!!" is what I thought right after & true enough, there is a thread reporting the IGN KYLee.

So, I happily sent a PM to Brett123 about this using his thread as a motivation. Few minutes later WayneLin got banned & I decided to keep the 20 Stat Stones iii that I owed him.......nyahahahaha. Now I hope I don't get banned.

BTW in WayneLin's thread, he mentioned that his Serenade Banshee is "Slightly Stoned". But when I checked, his "Slightly Stoned" is actually a mere 2 Wisdom extra (that's not even a Stat Stone I). That amounts to scamming too actually, but owh well.....wehehehe.

Note: Well, I don't really condone this kinda behavior la....so don't simple scam innocent players okay?

om nom nom nom on popcorns nyahaha. i saw that name somewhere too anyways, congrats on your lovely banshee ;p can sleep well tonight?

can't find the thread again. read that this guy got banned even though he spent like 2000 on coins =/ ouch.

Well, sounds more like you escaped with 20 iii, but is the int serenade a legit card?
Expect KYLee to PM you in game and rant about it.

I think bro nite's got some free iii and not the banshee..
But good catch made!
Are u seriously considering trading with him?

from reports he seems like just a dodgy seller/trader. haha. hope that it's legit. people don't hack much of non-ace 5*, or do they?

anyway i have a question. Since i have 2 cool 5*, would it be better to find decent/good counterparts of them and reborn them using the cool instead? only thing is they will be just sexy/fast/brave/intel/powerful type. wise thing to do?

Well, it's not really free, I traded my FS Stymp Bird & Apsara for it. Quite a bargain la I'd admit lol. Now I realised I've traded my own deck, not my reserves.....deng, short of 2 guardians for this week's coliseum. His Serenade is coli-lock & all my reserves are duplicates of what I have in my current deck e.g. I got 4 Stymp Birds, 2 Shiva, 2 Raijin.

Not his friend, he can't send msgs....only can send friend request or those default sweet messages that you can only send to strangers lol.
I added Agi & traded it to my 2nd account already, seems fine so far. Gonna trade again along with my whole deck for weekly check up after the coliseum.

Well, I'm supposed to gift the balance 20 (iii) which I didn't just because he's a scammer & his Serenade isn't as slightly stoned as I'd expect.

veteran scammer vs pro trader ..

thats it ~ OHKO ~ !!

LOL~

Nightwind used "Search"... it is Super Effective!

Well, I haven't joined coli yet... how is the heat inside?

Haha, well....I was actually thinking of giving the stones to his victims but I'm feeling painful now that my deck is handicapped. So I'm keeping em!

Yea the search button really made the difference. Now that WayneLin is banned, he can't even send me PMs anymore lol.
But that guy is notorious for making many forum accounts to scam.

There's a similar scam drama here; check it out it's pretty good too haha; http://guardiancross-forum.com/Thread-Lost...ra-to-Rockerkrs

yeah... HK or TW guy i reckon?

Ok, ace barong, aym, qj and atar, which to choose to lvl up max first?
Note not intending to add phy stones to qj or atar.

erm
wrong
its not even stoned

aym got my pick , but u really need phy+3 on him to perform ..

Aym & QJ, but if you don't stone them with Phy +3, they're practically useless.
They're really powerful, but you need to give them the right skills.
If not, then that left with just Atar & Barong.

For my auction,was not planning to sell it easily. Was kinda hoping desperate ppl to buy it only. Oh we'll,doesn't harm to give a shot eh?

Ok guys thanks for feedback. With phy+3 stones at 2 iii, i would probably top up and get ace power or caim.. Sigh bought too many aces on impulse, but cant resist when the deal is right!

What does reserve means btw. U can choose not to sell if it does not reach 100 iii?

Bingo!

Why regret when the price is right? It's good, you can sell them off next time or trade up for a 5* guardian.

Can't say bingo lol, isn't minimum bid or the starting price should serve as the reserved price?
State at least how much people should bid & how much is the buy out. Pretty simple & straight forward ma.
