No Vouches For No Trust

Hey I have a suggestion it is that people shouldn't get vouches for normal trades on Runescape or whatever game they've been playing. A lot of sales going on in the 07 item sections is quest kits and they really require no trust at all.. Just one screen trade, vouches are usually looked at as a symbol of trust not reliability.

I find it unfair because they're getting tons of vouches for no trust whatsoever.

 

support. there is no aspect of trust, it is just a transaction at a slightly marked up price

 

Agreed. There is no transaction of trustworthiness amongst players. This should be strictly monitored and not allowed.

 

I completely agree, those "vouches" should be closely watched and deleted where necessary

 

Agree. Vouches like these shouldn't be considered vouches at all. May I add on that vouches should be required to include what type of trade went on? It could be a stupid trade like a normal and safe RS trade and someone would type "Highly reputable trader blah blah blah would definitely trade again blah blah blah HUUUUUGE VOUCH"

 

I completely agree, they could have 50+ vouches just for literally doing nothing but expanding there business onto sythe with no trust.

 

Anyone can vouch for anybody or almost anything they want

 

Yeah but vouches show a symbol of trust why should a person get one for an in-game trade?

 

What do you mean by ingame exactly? Like RSGP for a party hat?

 

Yeah, as in the transaction is being dealt in RS. There is no trust that has to be given to the seller, since they are being given the items for an amount of gp. It isn't like, I sent him a paypal payment first, and now im hoping he doesn't scam me and does trade me the items (of course I could chargeback but that isn't the point of this).

So the vouches they are getting, aren't precisely a trust symbol, as there was no risk for the buyer.

 

This has been repeated many times on here: Don't look at the quantity of vouches look at the quality. It's pretty easy to determine how high a level of trust each trade that is vouched required.

 

Just don't look at the quantity over quality and this will not be a problem at all. There is no point to this because if you are trading with someone make sure they are trusted, don't just read they have "X" vouches.

 

It's up to the user to decide the trustworthiness of the other person, I guess the only way to do so, is to look at their vouches and determine whether or not the vouches actually stand for something, but personally if the trade value is under $1 there shouldn't be allowed a vouch and I think that rule should be implemented.

 

I think it would be way to hard to track every user to make sure that no one has been vouched like this.

 

What I'm trying to say is that it should become reportable now and they can keep there vouches and when someone says they have over 100 vouches you look to see if they have 100 vouches not what they say in the vouches.

And Elena I stated earlier in my thread what I was talking about so if you could stop spamming and read the post it would be great.

I just find it unfair on how you can get things that mean so much just by expanding your business on a website which requires no trust. If there was a feedback system it would make sense but for vouches it shouldn't.

 

Yes, but if there a were a rule implemented, users and moderators could all work together and report any thing that is against the rules, as we do already. Which could potentially stop people from doing so, but until then..

 

A Trade is still a Trade in my opinion and I am not spamming abarta so off my case. I support the rule change though never the less.

 

I feel as if this is most directed towards myself due to the fact I've obtained the most vouches through this. I definitely see your side of the argument and completely agree on the fact these vouches show no real trust but they do demonstrate to other buyers confidence in my product. I take pride in not leaving any items out and making sure to make questing as painless as possible without actually completing it for them. I understand where you're coming from and if it comes to a point where you want me to remove the vouches earned I'll oblidge ofcourse.

 

That's a bit of a contradiction? You say a trade is a trade, but want to support a rule change? That confused me, haha.

 

Basically i still feel that a trade is a trade and vouches should be a allowed but in the overall of things I feel like this maybe beneficial not sure if that makes sense but it does in my head. It would help newer members.
