Hi all,



Muggers are getting more and more inventive these days. I used to buy mug until about 6 months ago when real life got too demanding and i didnt have any time to sit around on torn and find targets to buy mug who dont have mug protection. Sometimes it would even take me up to 1 hour to find the right guy. I tried to buy mug someone not too long ago and failed so decided until the system gets changed its not a good career path in torn.



Since i needed to sell the items i bought from someone i would also from time to time get buy mugged myself by other buy muggers. The way i decided to combat against buy muggers was to add them to my black list so they cannot buy from my bazaar.



As you can see many people have also added me to their black list in order to prevent me buying from their bazaar also which at this stage in the game is kinda shit not because of the enemies but sometimes these people have cheap stuff to sell and i cant buy it.



Either way today i have been buy/mugged by a sneakier than dneaky thief.



I have been buying energy cans and FHC lately and you can see them in my display case and i have noticed this noob Chimito [1928676] always selling like 50 FHC in one go and i checked his networth amd its kind of crap. Today it sits at 1.8 billion which i now wont call crap but yesterday it was 900 mill and the day befor 774 mill.

Why i mention this ?



Because when i came across him i thought it was weird someone selling 50 FHC in the value off 700 mill+ when their netwoeth is just 700 mill.



Now to my point :



I had some slightly over priced flowers in my bazaar for some time now and today when i logged in this happened

    who also happens to be in the same faction as him and are the only 2 people in the faction can beat me.

    As it happens both where online at the same time and are always online at the same time and his spouse has mugged 10+billion so far.

    My final conclusion is chimito is buying and his spouse is doing the dirty work to avoid people find out they are buy mugging.

    What do you guys think of this ?

Looks like the more active people already knew off this which is fair enough.



Looks like the dicks are still dicks and not to my surprise its the same dicks from a couple moths ago.



I guess when your born a dick then your a dick all your life.

It strange thing then you complain about buy mugging, but in the past you buy mugging yourself. Don`t you think it is hypocritical? And you are old player, so you should know how mug protection works if you don`t protected yourself it is just yours fault.

Note: All this is just mine opinion.
cogo [1855260]

Im not complaining at all.



Ive mugged my fair share and i think its like 4+ billion.

If i lost maybe 200 mill through mugging its all good. I just never came across personally this type of duo mugging and i give kudos to them for the team work.



The rest of you obviously knew about this and fair enough. Thats all.

Adrenalinas [1974447]

it is old thing (buy muggers ask them friends buy staff and mugs you after)

Other way is they have poker table with height buy in and pretend to playing , then someone new join they kick him/her and mug him/her.
Louis_de_Pointe [1963196]

Oh dear that touched a nerve.

Did you know some people mug abroad too?

Best inform the community of this technique!

I will even let you know a little secret....In south Africa people mug for the xanax money!

Yeah, that's been something that's been done before. Currently I gave two pairs of buy/mug players duo's who do that very strategy. The initial thing is the buyer themselves doesn't have the required total mug to amass the lost funds, but they made the mistake of having their mugger for their duo be in the same fac so I just needed to cross of those who literally couldn't have done it and I was left with one person who has enough in mugs to make it at least on the top 10 mug totals.

likelihood of a staff member seeing that particular post and taking action, slim to none

you would need to report the OP and request the thread to be closed in the report, quick (somewhat quick) and easy
