Kael was used as a trade moderator for a 150bd:1800e transaction and everything went smoothly.
Haha oh my word still going on? Seem to remember you saying "enough time has been wasted on this" clearly not
I could reply but I won't lower any more! Ty for free bump
~Kael~Alright so I had given you a chance to own up to your actions like a man, and didn't mention the worst stuff you did, but with this deflection you are giving me no choice, people need to know you are a two-faced cunt.
I am also encouraged to do so by several people who PM'd me after I posted this, saying they were also fucked over by you. I will let them share their stories if they want to, I will only talk about my own personnal experience with our dear kael/gambit, but I remember bad shit from back in the days and will bring it up if needed.
Some context is needed first of all. As I said in the previous post, I recently came back to pre, looted a max +1/18% domination mod after a bunch of charr runs, and it was bought much under market price by kael after some malicious deception.
Shortly after, I was blessed by RNGesus after a few more charr runs, and looted an amazing one-of-a-kind domination staff, one that I am eager to offer up for auction to collectors of this community. Such a staff of course deserves perfect mods before being exposed, which includes the one I had just sold a few hours before. A little bittersweet, but hey, I can't complain.
I decided I have nothing to lose by asking kael if it's possible to buy back the mod for our price + additionnal black dyes. Maybe he's just holding it with no immediate purpose in mind, who knows. I tell him about the situation, got an amazing drop that
needs the mod, I know right, bad timing. Unfortunately he said he intended to use it on a mesmer staff of his own, and he was sure it was better than mine. My hopes weren't too high, I was already attempting to find another +1/18%, but that remark came off as quite provocative, and since I was confident in my own staff, I proposed a bet: if his staff is better, I give him 5 black dyes. But if my staff is better, he has to sell me back the mod for our inital price + 5 black dyes. Win or lose, he would make a few quick black dyes.
He refused, and that was the end of it for now, I was back to looking for another mod. Then he pm'd me again, asking ''It's not better than 13% HSR / 18% HCT, is it?'' As the staff I had just looted was above that league, I responded with ''oh honey, that's cute''.
Now this is the point where I may have triggered something in him, which escalated into unfortunate events, discovering kael's second, less public personnality.
I continued advertising ''WTB +1/18% Domination Staff Wrapping!'' in ascalon trade chat, and suddenly some low level opens up trade with me and puts up the desired mod. I ask if he has a price in mind, but no response. He logs out. Alright then. I continue to search. Some time later, a different low level opens trade once again without a word, and this time puts up the exact same staff kael had described to me, with the +1/18% dom mod on. Now I see what's going on, and I just play along, ''Nice staff man''.
Then, a few hours later, I receive a whisper, this person is selling the mod I need, and thus begins our price negotiation. Except nothing was enough. I went much above market price, but they kept saying +1/18% fire (the most desirable caster mod) sells for more, that they might just keep it instead, basically kept calling my high offers 'lowball', etc. The next level of trolling began on their side, repeating ''Damn you're salty xDxDxDxD'' when I pointed out their logic was flawed. I stopped responding, but added him to friend list to try again later when they come back to down to earth. At that point I didn't know who that person ('Lil Loola') was. But they made a mistake. They had also added me to their friend list, so I could see in which zone they were.
A few hours later, I decide to try again to negotiate the purchase. Their status isn't 'Away', yet they don't respond to messages... and keep zoning in and out of Lakeshire County / Ashford Abbey at regular intervals, which is pretty obvious bandit botting, as you can see several eles doing the same thing, mostly in foreign districts. Alright then, that's interesting...
Afterwards, the same day, I was in the middle of a heated discussion with kael/gambit, when his fact denial and flawed logic prompted me to call him brain damaged, and he then logged out before I could reinforce that theory. I then receive a PM from 'Lil Loola', the 'seller', saying ''Sorry I missed your last few messages, im brain damaged : )''. Oh damn. That's also you. Alright. He didn't know I saw him botting, and we continued that conversation via PMs while in ascalon, which was absolute next level 12-years-old-on-sugar/monster-high trolling. I had no idea there were still people like that in the game, especially in pre, which I thought was a safe haven. At one point, he gets tilted that I don't get triggered and says in Local chat ''Slayer tried to scam me!''
Baseless slander isn't cool at all, so I responded with ''Oh noes, one of kael/gambit's botting account is mad I have better stuff than him''.
Then there's the complete 180 dregrees shift in personnality.
The 12-years old troll PMs me in panic on his main Sheikra Gambit and attempts to act as a UN diplomat. ''Excuse me?'' & goes on to say that the 'Lil Loola' account wasn't his anymore, he had bought it in-game years ago (''I know it's against the rules but w/e''). Sure bud. Three accounts tried to troll me concerning that mod today, no one else has a motive to do so, and you exposed yourself by showing on an alt the exact same staff you described on your main, on top of having the same writing style and cunty trollish attitude as when you aren't pretending to be a good guy on your main.
As I didn't think I had to protect myself so fervently just to have a good time in pre, I obviously do not have a screenshot of every single conversation with the multiple accounts. I do however have screens of our last conversation, where he doesn't deny fucking people over goths/cons points, selling titles for paypal, and botting, defending himself with ''You know 90% of pre does it, yes?''.
I will leave it to that and let people make their own mind.
I have nothing to gain from this, my sole purpose with this post is to inform the community about how someone hiding behind the image of a 'trustworthy trade moderator' feel they can say anything and do negatively impactful things under the cover of alt accounts.
Hopefully it will encourage other people (who I've heard have more proof of kael's misconduct) to come out and discuss this.
Presearing is an amazing & unique place, the kind that might never be seen again in any other game. Let's protect the community and make it a great place to be.
