Guild Wars 2

Avoiding the tax cut and a wholesale discount for the consumer are obvious reasons why someone would not use the TP, I figured that much to be obvious.

I also take no shame in trusting someone who seemed to be trustworthy. It was afterall, an act of faith and not of naitivity. It is unfortunate that it turned out the way that it did but never in 1000 renditions of this scenario would I ever put myself in the wrong. The “finger” that I assume you are reffering to is being pointed at the only culprit in this instance, the one who took the loot and ran lol. I figured him the obvious villian and thus did not explain my logic.

The TP is not there for our protection, that would be a COD feature. The TP is obviously there to trade primarily but its secondary function is a gold sink to level out the economy. 12g tax cut is huge on a sale when you only have 14g in your savings to begin with. A win-win situation where both the client and consumer are to benefit is anything but “dumb”.

What then when they implement a COD function maybe 5months down the line or so? Do the victims of honorless trade get to say “I told you so” and get our posessions back? Doubtful but obviously unfair. I have made no commitment to this game of which to “quit” from so if there were any considerations to be made, it would be based off of the ethical value of Anets trading system, not the guilt trip opposed by the thus far “community” that I’ve been show in this post.

Who knows how long and how much effort people really put into getting the things that they have, its disrespectful to disregard their efforts in -your- game Anet…

If that be the unfortunate case, then I will have to reconsider this game. Being punished for trusting someone is an injustice indeed…

Long story short: Selling high level weapons at wholesale price is how I make my living in this game. After trading my 200g Hammer “The Colossus” to what seemed to be a well mannered gentleman just a few minutes ago however (he was actually in a guild called Gentleman or something lol), he immideatley took the loot, switched to overflow server and blocked me…

Feeling hopeless for having good faith in our community, it leaves me wondering if there is even a fix to this issue? COD would be great but even still, do people who have this issue ever get their items back?

I submitted a report but the sum of which allows you to feel rather unsatisfied. “The Gm team MAY submit a review”?? To which his account MAY be banned? Just seems like a lot of work for a team that could be doing other things if we had a COD system in place. They could still tax it for a gold sink, just not as heavily.

Either way, that was my biggest sale and I guess its back down to my 20g bank account now… His name is {EDIT TO REMOVE NAME] by the way so, watch out. He apparently does this often so Im hoping to find some justice on this forum.
