General Discussion - [Question] Cosmetics - Tradable??? - Forum

Doubtful to. Team Fortress 2 has already started rolling out STEAM TRADING system allowing players selling cosmetic items for cash. Full tf2 inventory and dota2 to follow suit in the future.

I'd say yes if equipped microtransactions are bounded to the user. This way GGG won't loose potential customers. But in another viewpoint, it's very likely to receive a no from GGG, if you think of it as a pay to win way - people use money to get microtransactions and receive tons of currency from the buyers. Personally I'd like to see it being possible, as I find better to trade with players with currency/gold that I played for in-game than just buy stuff with my own cash.

No. Cosmetic items should only be available to people who actually pay money.	Posted by oblomir#3693 on Jan 17, 2013, 12:58:51 PM Quote this Post

It is P2W if you make those purely cosmetic items tradable against regular items.

I'm more curious how things like dies and other gear effects will work. If I buy and use a dye on my gear and then I trade that gear will it remain dyed or will the dye be removed? Who knows. Forum Sheriff	Posted by tpapp157#0336 on Jan 17, 2013, 3:35:56 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Who knows. 1) Colors are $15, you can use it an infinite number of times - if traded, color is lost 2) Colors are $1, you can use it 5 times - if traded, color is lost 3) Colors are $1, you can use it 1 time, color cannot be changed - if traded, color remians - has a flavor text like mirrored saying it is always that color. This is (roughly) what I would want to see from Dyes.
