Oof.

The replies in here weren't unexpected, but still just as awful. Imagine laughing about, and damn-near supporting incoming scams because... I dunno, some inner desire to see bad things happen to people.

I imagine if you're trading FOR the replica, you're then aware of the original version, and will make sure to be sure.

But that's basically only 33% of the options here.

2) You're trading for the original and don't know about the replica.
3) You're trading for the original and do know about the replica.

#2 players are toast, if the other player wishes.



Yes, it's easy to say dumb shit like, "Lol shoulda learned how to read." But saying things like that just means you need to tattoo "fuckass" onto your forehead, because that's not an Ok response to someone being hard-punished for not living exactly the way you do.





OVERALL, I imagine there are easy things for GGG to do. The easiest might be some noticeable message, maybe unavoidable popup, that says something like... "WARNING: REPLICA/NON-REPLICA". Or, put a noticeable "affix" text on the item, as well as maybe some tweak to the artwork like a "badge" somewhere.

Alternatively, I can see them doing nothing, so as to further support their forced mantra of having a chaotic, cutthroat, unfun environment, where only the strong go onward in... this... ... video game.
