Getting Tired of the Vampire/Werewolf Bidness (RANT ALERT)

I'll probably get flamed for this by two different groups but I think it has to be said.

I am getting tired of all the Vampire/Werewolf posts in the discussion. In particular the ones that read " Selling Vampire/Werewolf bites" or " Looking to buy Vampire/Werewolf bites".

Those of you who are selling them and being honest about it are not the evil *** that everyone else is making you out to be, you simply have a product that is in demand and you are looking to cash in on the time and effort you make in order to deliver your services. The real players everyone should be pissed at are the players who insist on receiving payment first and then running off and congratulating themselves for scamming someone out of their gold. Perhaps, these players themselves were scammed at one time themselves and are looking to simply spread the grief as it were, or maybe they are just d!@ks and get some pathological pleasure from grieffing. The other players that every one should be angry with are those groups and guilds who camp the vampire/werewolf spawn sites and kill the mobs before non-vamps/wolves can get a chance at getting one themselves. They choose to do this I think for three reasons, 1) They believe in doing so they can retain their monopoly on paying customers and keep the demand for bites high so the can charge whatever they think any one player is willing to pay, 2) They may not be vampire/werewolves themselves and are looking to stem the rising tide of vamp/wolves from flooding the pvp areas, 3) They just enjoy being grieffers.

Those of you who are willing to pay for them are almost as bad because you are just perpetuating the revolving cycle and empowering those that have them to continue doing the above mentioned greiffing. However if you are willing to pay extreme amounts of money for something that you are not even sure you might like, then who am I to judge and spend away.

Having said that, listen closely, " Being a vamp/wolf only gives you a slightly than better edge in pvp. It's not the fabled "god mode" that it's been hyped up to be."

Now onto those of you that are spamming the forum with these threads. If you haven't noticed the Admins are locking these type of " Selling" and " Will pay for" threads almost as fast as players are posting them. Most of you aren't even getting responses at all before your thread is locked, so why bother at all? Besides, there are other ESO related forums on the net, some of which don't seem to mind these type of threads so go seek them out and have a field day. Or better yet if there is anyone at Zos reading this, why don't you just make every player a vamp/wolf in the next patch and save yourselves and everyone else the headache of seeing another one of those types of posts.

If you stayed with me through all of my ranting, Thank you for reading :smile:

    To save EVERYONE trouble (including ZoS who probably are tired of posting same thing over and over:

    Please check these individual threads for free bites:

    • Xbox One - NA
    • Xbox One - EU
    • PlayStation 4 - NA
    • PlayStation 4 - EU

    And I also would like to add, that for console players, to please spread the word that they can receive free bites if they just look at the forums. That way, scamming can be minimise and trying to fight these spawn point "campers" will be avoided.

    On one hand you're saying it's fine for people to sell bites because they have a "product" people want, but then on the other hand you're telling the people that buy the bites that they're as bad as griefer's because they perpetuate the revolving cycle? Seriously?

    You know, most of this complete nonsense could be avoided if everyone just bit someone for nothing instead of trying to cash in through greed.
    I've never charged for a bite. People have offered both money and items and I've always refused. Instead, I ask that they pay it forward, and bite people for nothing as well - and if they feel that they simply can't do that all the time, then at least bite one person for nothing.

    I see your point, and yes to both statements. There is nothing wrong with selling bites if the seller is honest, and if players would quit paying for them then the price would be non-existent and the scams would no longer be an issue.

    And on behalf of the community, I personally thank you for your generous nature amidst the current pay/bite model that is being perpetuated.
