Well, the name wasn't in the HoF list, and full Grem but no Gun??? Yeah, right! 
So I offered to shoot the Molisks (this was NE of Troy btw) while he mined out the claim and he ran off. I followed, thinking that he was heading to the claim, but he kept dropping bombs and mining out small claims. Strange way to behave for someone with a Hof to collect dontcha think?
And they could afford all these bombs but no gun????
I also heard that he scammed another player out of an Abrer laser, by claiming that his skills were low and asking to borrow the laser. Which was never returned.
I suppose he must have sold the Grem and bought full Rascal and a gun, since he was shooting Atrax SW of Orthos last week. |
Well, I ran into anaviat swampcamp once who said sorta the same thing. He had a very large global he wanted to extract, but he was fairly new and had no ammo.
I followed him out to the claim marker and and shot up the mobs while he extracted the oil. He even wore out his TT driller. I loaned him mine, and he finished the job, and offered me some of the find, which I turned down because I hit two small globals while protecting him.
So, this is not necessarily a scam.
