This fucking reddit post is making trade 820 into a paranoia zone

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7nf0bm/0_mf_300_chaos_per_hour/

Granted I won't care today since probably be 40 but holy fuck dude fuck this post even making me paranoid cuz the seller locks you in and you're like oh fuck am I being scammed the fuck is this shady shit.

reddit hivemind at work, nothing new.

and as you waived the idea that would solve it in the other thread, nerf challenge sharing would allow them to scale down the amount of challenges to be done and also push party play.



edit: my prefered solution would be a intermediate stash where you store items and you and another player have to agree that the other player can take it out. would make paying for services a bit more secure cause no side would gain anything from scams.

but ggg probably fears the resulting hassle for their support.

Not I_NO's finest share, agreed.

As a larger comment, the poe reddit really is one of the worst subreddits I've seen or frequented, and I peruse my share thereof. I always figured it was the blatant anonymity that made 4chan users such arseholes but maybe it was just the perceived anonymity that did it.

doesn't reddit sell user's ip addresses to make some profit?

I haven't delved that deeply but it wouldn't greatly surprise me. For now though I'd write that off as tinfoilhat territory.

I mean OP is right GGG wont do anything about it they deffend scammers at all cost they dont allow us to expose them on forums or on reddit or ingame this is a free scammer game

it's tinfoil hat but they really should. how do they finance themselves anyway, adverts? in the age of adblockers? that "reddit gold"?

they certainly sell profiles of their users as any other social media crapboard does.

That not true.

Scamming is against their policy; you can report people to get your stuff back and they do punish people for it.

"If" this is true GGG will take action.

new zealand has anti bullying laws and ggg can be brought to court if they allow naming and shaming in their own forums or ingame chat.

you can post your shit on reddit and enjoy your downvotes there if you think that blaming anonymous accounts makes any sense.

Meanwhile in SSF world, the only scammer you have to worry about is GGG :)
