Does anyone still use the trade forums here?

Just curious, seems like the old trade sub-forums are a ghost town. Or maybe my problem is just that I play on Argo.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

it's a ghost town... it's where people sends the Everyone Moderate posts ( when there used to be posts there ) to make Strake work.
( or to the Honeypot )

I mean, I'll buy some new collectables and legendary slaver's ingredients on Ghallanda if you're selling, but I'm not going to make a post about it.

Of course, how will anyone know you're buying if you don't? Tongue Then again, how would anyone know if no one checks the forums...

Doesn't have to link, all the real discussion is in PMs, and if you're especially paranoid you can pass things through a throwaway account.

Besides, I'm actually looking to make some legit trades on Argo Tongue

pretty sure it said that no one who shitposts here wants to have their shitty attitudes and code of conduct breaking posting habits linked to their in game account.

this implies that people who shitpost and breach CoC have a reason they believe to be valid, preventing them from making an association with their in game account

conversely it implies that those who do not shitpost nor openly discuss methods of breaching CoC might be open to it, if there were any posters who fit that description

and furthermore it implies that people who dont care about the state of their in game social status or account status might also be open to it

however typing all that isnt necessary when "no one wants to link their shitposting here to their main accounts" says the same thing in far less words

Some people link their shitposting here to their in-game accounts. Most of them encounter Turbine retaliation.

But you're right; eighnuss was incorrect to assume he knew what they wanted.

That was a much more in-depth response than I expected, or deserved. Thankyou.

Your post made me a little nostalgic though, I remember when I first signed up here, we had to link to our in game accounts.

If you really want to get to the heart of it, the truth is more likely that there isn't anything of worthwhile value to trade in DDO anymore.

Every damn thing Turbine makes now is bound on acquire in some way.  The rare stuff that isn't bound is found easily enough on an auction house.  The only thing left to actually trade that would be worth anything to anyone here was dupable and we all have endless stacks of it on mules.

If my memory serves me right the last time Turbine added something of value that could be put up in AH or traded was Haunted Halls.  How long ago was that?

EDIT:  I'd forgotten the mushrooms in ToEE.  I made a nice profit putting those into the ASAH until the price fell.  Then it stopped being worth my time.

You can get good shards for slavers mats or the rare new collectibles.

Accountability for your words and actions is not desirable to some people.

I get the motivation.  I know it would be easier for me to sock up here and not have to answer for my posting on the Vault on the MoBo's.

I have actually gotten a few shards off the old rare collectibles. Some people are just too impatient to wait for their bags to fill. They changed the drop rate on the old uber rares. I took advantage of this knowing that I would get years worth of some of them back in no time.

Anonymity (in some measure) is pretty core to the interwebs - can you imagine how different it would be if you had to identify yourself (for real) before spewing online?

FWIW, I actually did get help for my request on Ghallanda Cutthroat Trades. That was around 1 year ago. So I can heartily recommend using the section. Thanks again to the noble donor.

People would probably think twice before pressing Post.  Which would probably be a good thing.

The parents of most of the posters here used int as a dump stat and the ones that didn't dumped Wis... so thinking prior to posting might not have as big an effect as one might suggest...
