I apologize for the re-post, i meant to make it a poll the first time so we could see some actual votes even if people dont want to submit an actual written response.


I suppose its not really a site suggestion so to speak but maybe a code of conduct thing amongst players but

We all (generally speaking) know the 2/3 trading rule of d2jsp
Join Date, Post Count and Forum Gold..who joined jsp first, who has a higher post count, and who has more forum gold of the two players trading

This is supposed to be the moral standard of trust, that the “losing party” of the 2/3 rule has to trade their items first, wether they are buying or selling

But my suggestion is to eliminate the Post Count part of the 2/3 rule and replace it with individuals progression on the star tiers

Theres no mistaking the Join Date for what it is, thats set in stone, theres no manipulating that
FG fluctuates up and down between trades
But Post Count can be manipulated and spammed by simply just trolling general chat and other threads

Stars on the other hand show an act of giving back to the site, something trolls wouldnt really consider doing

Join Date > Star > FG

Thats how i feel, and if anyone wants to deal in a trade with me in D2R, thats how we are going about it, or we can get a mediator and cut out the bs all together, what do you guys think? Should we eliminate post count from the 2/3 trading rule on jsp and replace it with Star progression or just leave it as it is. Personally Post Count seems pointless to me when going by an honor system

No because you should be using a Mediator to prevent yourself from getting scammed regardless.

From a new users perspective, I'd trust someone with no stars and a join date similar to mine but with 30,000fg over someone with no fg, stars, and old? join date.

no, there are too many old accounts sold to scammers

100% no

also the 2/3 rule isnt official at all. You are suggesting trying to change a suggestion

like wtf

i don t have any stars so i m a troll now ?

naa all jokes aside , the rule you have mentioned is inofficial anyway and will likely never be set or implemented here

so what you can do is naturalizing your suggestion / rule among users . but more than that shouldn t be possible i think


edit : it feels wrong to vote no because i don t really mind if they did it , on the other hand i wouldn t really come to support it -> null vote

Voting no. If you want to trade safely, just use a mediator.

Voting no.
Please use a mediator for safe trading.

Voted no, use a mediator or trade at your own risk.

No.
The 2/3 rule is a very crude way of trying to identify who is "trustworthy" to trade with.
Join date, post count, fg amount, amount of friends, and any other odd way of trying to identify trust is inaccurate.

The only way to safely trade is to use a mediator.

No thanks. As everyone has said just use a mediator
