Starting to troll these lowballers.

How about all players just start reporting everyone for anything they even "THINK" might be a TOU violation. Then I wonder if support could handle all the complaints.

I'm gonna start reporting anyone who probes at my butt sensitivity.
The thing I find amusing is how sellers believe they should be catered to, which is the exact opposite of how any type of trading works. I'll buy from the next person, the person who wants to sell.

Unless you have a mirror worthy item, news flash, nobody gives a shit about buying from you. Someone else has the same item, with a buyout.

I'll pay the buy-out, even if it's high, because I don't trade with people who try to get people to over bid on items by purposefully leaving out well established buy out prices.

the 'human interaction' and 'player v player tension' from the OP is the exact reason why anonymous and troll-free AH is better than this current trade system that is based on scamming, trolling and outright rmt/jsp. inb4 4chan guys decide to do this to ALL of us someday.

i think that what best describes this issue is a gem i found over at MedianXL:

"
Trading is mandatory to be viable, yet GGG refuses to implement an AH, regarding AH overuse as a cause, not a symptom of poor game design. Its always funny to see fanboys hating on AH's while everyone uses poe.xyz, despite being a external and poor substitute for an AH. Another excuse is "we want human interaction!". Heres 'human interaction' for you guys.

"WTS GOSU GG WEAPON"
"hi can i buy"
"offar"
"uhh…. idk can u tell me?"
"offer or fuck off"
"um 2 ex"
"…"
"…"
"hi you there>?"
"fuck you noob lowball shitscum, ignored"




btw the other 'trading tactic' i loathe is 'c/o 1ex b/o 2ex'. i offer 1ex1gcp and in reply 'next offer is 2ex' so just state b/o 2ex without playing stupid games..

Just a word of caution here:

sellers are free to set 'high' prices for their goods, likewise buyers are just as free to offer 'low' payment for the same item. Singling out one side or the other for peer harassment could constitute a breach of the terms of use.

If you don't like someones offer just say 'no thanks' and move on.

that doesn't make any sense what so ever.

sorry.


As others have pointed out, if you are advertising 'message me offers' expect to receive offers that are lower than what you have in mind, that's just business. Its the attempt to instigate the demonization of 'low ballers' that risks breaching the terms of use regarding harassment.


Well this thread is clearly pushing in the direction of breaching the tou.

The bandit PK is an intended mechanic.
People are warned at the bandits about the mechanic.

GGG cleared up so many times. I think you missed the point where GGG does set up the rules and if you are not satisfied with them better write support@grindinggear.com with reasonable arguments instead arguing with strangers on the internet. :D
This is why I only buy things with a specific b/o, I don't even bother with people who posts their items and ask for an "offer". They will probably make you wait a few days or weeks before they decide to sell it or not. Just a waste of time IMO.

So OP, who is known to be not-so-nice, it griefing people in trade. And this is good for the PoE how? (Simple solution OP: put a B/O on the item you are sellling ... oh wait, your intention is to troll people)


Its not every players responsibility to give a shit about what is good for the community as a whole. I like playing the game, I'm not a people-person, and can be a complete dick. Does that mean I shouldn't be able to play a game?

We have full-release 1.0.0 coming, meaning a likely influx of new players.


Good I'll show them the ropes.

Spoiler
Soap on the ropes!!


"

And how are these new players, who GGG hopes to retain, going to react when people like the OP troll them in trade chat? Probably will not have a positive effect on them.


Seems to me like a good time for them to learn the "Ignore" button.

"

Therefore, I'm all for GGG stance on this.


Hitler would be proud!

OP is a [removed by admin], and he fully admits to it.


Sounds like a personal attack - REPORTED!!

but if someone joins and declares that he is killing the bandits where in fact he will help one, then he is violating:

Indeed. This can also be reported as there is chat log evidence.

Good PKers don't interact with their prey in chat at all for that purpose.
