95% of the stuff on this forum is unnecessary and while you are right about things being peoples own fault that doesnt mean we as a community have to sit around and just be like "oh well, your own fault, deal with it". I for one, wont.
In the case with Lucas - he uses the good old "help a girl out" kind of scam. Much of the Rohan population are male and as a chick I know alot of those said males are flirts/ would do anything for some female attention and so on. Lucas uses that very thing to his advantage and plays the poor helpless girl to 1. gain friendship. 2 gain "trust" and 3. Gain items. And once he has them your screwed. Its been seen time and time again with this pathological liar. And if the Gms cant/ wont do anything about him, well no ones gonna stop me from trying.
AND if this thread gets deleted, I will make another and continue to do so.
