While battling solo in Valkurm Dunes for my subjob quest and looking specifically for the magicked skull, another player sent a shout "Does anyone need a magicked skull?" I replied with "how much" and he/she said "nothing." I asked for their location, and met with them. He/she seemed to not know how to trade it to me, but then finally figured it out and sent me a gob mask. I asked again about the magicked skull, and they said that they didn't have one, but we could "pt together and get it."
I realized that they were tricking me into partying with them so I walked away. I found this behavior to be quite rude. Was I wrong?
