so what?
we dont grade the TRADER we grade the ITEM
that may be right, but you and some others should understand the general frustration about shopped items. The origin of this frustration might be numerous:
1.in some cases the pure envy on gosu statted items, surpassing old "non-imported" trophies, that were realms best for years within a few months, depreciating the value of old items
2.some kids have daddys credit card, some dont .. or some have their principles and look down to those who dont care
3. and this is imo the most important reason: "trophy" in its original sense, is a thing you spend alot of time or risk on to get it.. or something that you were very lucky to find. Shopped items were neither hard to find, nor did it take a long time, nor do you have to be very lucky with it. Thats why I find that not the pure stats make an item a trophy.. a good statted item from a shop for me is a good statted item, the most important part is missing which is the efford to get it.. you will see it in a few months even more obvious than now, when people will rate 2 skill 20fcr 60life adds 2 sock circ 6-7/10 because there are so many of them that its nothing special anymore and the 6. mod is not usefull or w/e.. all items like these will be worth nothing. luckily till now, itemshops didnt figure out a way to import crafts, rare eth weapons etc. .. so in these fields we still have real trophies
However its something we cannot change and have to accept because they are out there.
my 5 cents
