Hi!

A couple months ago, you all tried to address the fact that SC and HC are different economies by modifying the existing PlayStation, XBox, and Switch forums. You created the requirement of adding a tag to posts--Softcore or Hardcore--before a thread could be made. Similarly, users have the ability to click one of these tags so they can filter their view of the respective console forum. It's a good change, and much appreciated.

Unfortunately, it's also insufficient. Softcore players--which are the vast majority of players on console (and probably overall, but I'm indifferent as to PC since they have devoted softcore/hardcore forums)--still regularly make the mistake of clicking hardcore when posting. Further, when a hardcore player makes an ISO, unless they explicitly put "THIS IS HARDCORE" in both the post AND the post title, softcore players looking to get rich will immediately flood the thread offering, only to see they'd made a mistake an issue a retraction soon thereafter. Tough to blame the users; everyone's trying to build their nest egg so they can buy better items or what have you.

Threads like this are pretty common:

I requested separate forums a couple months ago, and y'all said it wouldn't happen because the problem was user error and they'd adjust. An entirely reasonable response, but I think given the last 2 months of data, one that has turned out not to be correct. People are still regularly missing the tags leading to a ton of retractions, clutter, and trades that cant' go through because the users aren't in the same playmodes.

So here I am, asking again, this time with a poll because you correctly noted I was kinda just asking for this alone last time. This time I'm pretty sure I'll get players responding "yeah this is a problem," so I'm giving it another shot.

Thank you for your time.

Yes. Happens all the time.

Agreed

Obviously yes

This is definitely the easiest solution to a vastly re-occurring problem.

The tags for hardcore and softcore just do not work as well as the other tags (ft, iso, service, etc). I am even guilty of posting in softcore threads once or twice because it's so easy to miss.

I think easier if we trade or make HC post it shows a red bother line like how we obtain primal in D3

But whatever works a separate thread would
Be nice too

Bump still happens too much

Definitely needs to be done.
I’m sure it isn’t a difficult thing to do and it’ll save us from mixing up trades (like I just did) and also clear some of the trades up to be more clear and less traffic!
