So when scammers call thousands and thousands of people, all it takes, is fora couple of grandmas and grandads to fall for the trap, and empty their bank accounts. And some of these resellers, this is what they are. Just scammers and "auction peddlers" thinking they are smart.
I would be shanked and stabbed for saying that most resellers sadly have the collective IQ of a tub of jello. Where they should buy low, and sell reasonably, they buy for free, and reseller for astronomical values. Hence the first opening sentance. The reason we have very ingrained memes of:
When it comes to actuall items, sadly resellers will act like this and just detach themselves largely from the plane of reality. and my best so far was someone trying to sell a 54/200 TIR MK2 at tier 5, for 5k to my diciple... Who did have 0 clues and almost ended up buying it.
They exist only because extremely bad players with very very low information, bankroll, patience, morale, extreme bad decisions in the past, bad networking etc etc etc.
I don't know any good story in this game of a player who ever involved a reseller.
What they do , you can do, there are 0 reasons to let go your good in hands of another player who does the same thing.
Lets not ignore the fact that many of them activly stroll through the wiki, and on purpose edit items and remove information and alter information so that items they may be trying to sell appear not what they are, its not only hunters doing this to hide shit for moron reasons.
And lets also not just go on and ignore the part where they have paid others to also give out wrong info about items, to aid their shitty cause. The problem is not just bad players, as it can catch someoen sleeping of guard. Especially since for most people doing what you call "fuck around and find out" is not always an option, so attempting to rely on people with money who can "FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT" Suddenly also becomes a bit of a .. "can we trust this" info it is a problem.
We can blanket it as "bad players" but, for the utmost of the populus of the game, we can't afford your levels of fuck around and find out, we have to thread around this soup as if it was a ICBM minefield. Fuck around and find out for most people is "Fuck around and you will fucking die anyways lmao" sadly
Still not a mindark issue, though. So we can just loathe on the scumbags (not all resellers are thank god.) and hope that people stop buying from those who are bad.
