I have begun to wonder this alot lately and here is why:

 

 

 

If you are in the fishing guild, in the flax field, by seers spinning wheel, by seers yews or many other places you get ppl turning up to sell that resources right there.

 

 

 

I mean how is this logical?

 

Surely logic dictates that someone gathering a resources themselves is doing it for 1 of 2 reasons:

 

1)For the xp

 

2)Because they can't afford to buy it

 

3)Because they want to sell it on

 

 

 

Now all of thoose reasons would mean they are not going to buy it, so why do people persists in seeling at these locations?

 

 

 

I mean if you use logic

 

 

 

Pkers want food, so leave the fishers in peace go sell your fish at edgeville

 

People making bowstrings for pure xp want flax so leave the field and seel flax at the spinning wheel

 

and so on

 

 

 

I know in some cases you do get buyers collecting the resource, but in general this is what logic would dictate

 

 

 

So what do you lot think?

 

 

ps: I posted this in general p2p because I have never really seen it happen on free worlds and my expereince mainly shows it to be invovled with shark fishing and fletching whihc are both members

 

well they sell because sometimes buyers go to these places looking for ppl who gather the resources... but of course logical is for the buyer to ask first...

I agree with Paw. It's better in the bank, with people have bigger than 27 type of fish. Take Catherby, for example. Why sell and buy in the beach, when you can go to the bank?

 

I always say"Try the bank" whwen they do that.

 

Once this guy was buying raw lobsters in Catherby beach. I was a newb then and I traded him 27 raw lobs. He declined and started shouting "noob!!!!11 noty!!!"

 

I mean lol, he expets people who are fishing to have all their lobs noted? :roll:

3)Because they want to sell it on

 

 

 

This is probley why people do it. People want the Bow strings, etc. Faster so they buy it from people that are standing by. They can get annoying but are not really doing any harm.

 

 

 

Its just easier.

 

 

 

-Honeo

most of the times its because they can't find anyone in the bank thats selling so they go to where the items are "made" to try and buy

tht last post is totally irrelivant

 

 

 

I was asking about people SELLING a resource where it is amde not BUYING where it is made
