But at least I'm not stupid. I just hired an incredibly underpriced active ally, I used the market price guide above, checked his activity, and bought him for an absolute bargain. 2 hours later I get a wall post from an irate former owner, upset that I hadn't checked his profile and read his banner (currently in osw, allies not for sale). Why should I read his banner? I bought an active ally at a bargain price, who cares who I bought him from. Allies are for sale on an open market, they get bought all the time if they are any good. Only a moron would bank money in underpriced active allies while at war, but some people are stupid enough to actually have a whinge when their allies are bought, and then rebuy them while they are still below market value! Rant over
Yes there was just a rant thread on stupid people who do this. "in osw, don't hire my allys!" hire them anyways and hit him back if he complains.
Actually, you were fourth. And don't troll and post ****. That's useless. And has nothing to do with the OP.
He is much, much bigger than I, and a member of a large war clan that is active on the forums. Discretion is the better part of valour, and I choose not to name names.
