Saw a shout-out in Trade today; someone buying 4 primal lifes (lives?) for 60 gold total. Usually Primal life goes for 10-12g a piece, so I was happy; I had four on me from farming trees in Skettis earlier, and was already in SW, where the character (Tactbank) was. So I whispered him, and opened a trade. He put up the 60g, I put up the 4 primals... and he took down the 60g. Trade closed. He opens trade again... same thing. I actually told him, not even thinking of a scam "You need to keep the 60g up and push trade, you know?" Finally the third time, I hit trade just as the 60 goes down. I hit cancel, but too slow. He logs out with my 4 primals. I filed a ticket and warned trade channel; I also was told the main was the guild leader of Tact (a guild, obviously), but the scam makes me feel it was someone else posing as his alt.
I've been meaning to read up on as much Lore as possible and my interest has just be re-newed by the movie called "Lament Of The Highborne" on the official site. (This one : http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/movies.html) What do you guys reckon would be the best way to approach this hunger for Lore? (Short of playing the games because I suck at RTS games. I'm about 30% through Warcraft 3 though.) Are there books I can buy? (A friend has The Sunwell Trilogy, I might borrow those sometime.) Read about the events in historical order or read about each race/class/NPC individually? Is WoWWiki reliable for Lore? (User submitted = accurate?)
