Ok, I want to correct some of Barto's first post.....He's almost got it right.
Berz was a disciple of mine over 1.5 yrs ago. He left the game, then returned about 3-5 months ago, and joined HE.
He played pretty active for a while, then disappeared. During that active time, he borrowed Paul's FF. We don't normally share items in soc, it's not a common occurance, but Paul did loan him the gun and wasn't even upset when Berz disappeared again, we knew he'd be back.
So anyways, a few days ago, he shows back up, and as soon as he did, we asked for the gun back. He sounded surprised and said that he gave it to someone before he left, said he gave away all his items, and made sure he gave Paul's gun to a soc mate. With that info, we knew something was up, because there are NO members of Hunters Extreme that would decide to keep the gun instead of returning it. "True" HE members aren't like that, and I know it.
So, then he told Paul that he would replace the gun. Paul told him he wouldn't be able to find it, so just get him this other gun instead, which is worth the same amount. Berz said he'd do it, then stopped replying to me about it and just strung paul along for 3 days, saying he had a friend who had one he was going to buy. This obivously never happened.
Anyways, last night, we were doing a quick soc hunt, and something happened, and Berz left HE. I had no warning that anything was wrong, still don't really know why he left, but it's prolly best at this point, because HE does NOT tolerate scamming, and this sure looks like it's becoming that.
Paul is still hoping that berz will contact him and make things right, but as of this moment, Berz is not replying to PM when he's ingame, so we have to assume it's not going to happen.
As for Berz being a noob, he's not really, he knows the game enough to know what he is doing. I've just got home from work, so I'm looking at the google thing now.
It's unfortunate that things like this happen, and also unfortunate that nothing will be done to get items that are lost back, no matter how valuable.
Hopefully this can all be resolved within the next few days.
