Declined A Sharking Rule?

[Sargent¥]

I feel it is necessary to make this thread stating that sharking should be against Skial rules. "Sharking" is well, this should explain it in full detail.

Please leave a rating correspondent to your opinion.

it's a trading system at heart not an economy

if someone wants to buy an Anger for 20 keys, it's worth 20 keys to them, and both parties agree. I dont see the issue.

I leave everyone to their opinion, I won't rebut against any at this point because it does not seem like a success story, I'd appreciate it if this thread was locked, thank you all for taking the time to leave an opinion and I respect all opinions, apologies if I may have seemed a bit pushy, it wasn't my intention but it might have ended out that way, once again, thank you : )

You've got another thing coming if you think I'm going to wade through even more reports than usual just because some kid was too lazy to do his research before trading.

 

[Sargent¥]

Ahaha, sorry if it seemed that way, again, not my intention.

Basically if we started banning for sharking we would have to then ban for being mean, hurting feelings, and calling names.

Oh and dont forget spawn camping.

I guess I could see that, while those things are unfortunate, they are minor issues and I think that's really the message to take out of this thread, only ban when the sin is large, guess "everyone makes mistakes" sort of squeezes it's way into this a bit also.

spawn camping is worse than all of those things.

spawn camping actually disturbs gameplay.

No, practically all communities do not ban for sharking.

Not if jedders is the demo. I will kill exactly 0.3 people on my way out of spawn with full uber and ammo.

Yeah this is a great idea so the forums can be filled with little kid reports stating he offered a weapon for my scrap when I clearly said 2 weapons for my scrap ban him now he's a scammer.

I can see it now, "I unboxed a hat with purple text and got a great deal of some weapons, but then he free killed me and now I AM MAD!"

Uber takes 40-80 seconds of them steamrolling you / emptying out the server. Also, if you're being spawncamped for THAT long your team's probably not good enough that even with an uber your team wont be able to push out spawn

The problem if you ban spawncamping though is enforcing it would empty the server out more due to some maps requiring spawncamping like capping on 2fort, 1st stage of Pipeline etc and many servers that ban spawncamping ban even if you're not that close to said spawn (I've seen one ban for sticky camping that sliding door on turbine down the stairs)

sharking should never be bannable. Sure it's looked down on but both traders traded something and held both ends of the deal.

If the sharker convinces someone to give it up for nothing in return than that is sharking.

Plus you never know if someone is quickselling or price ignorant.

If someone decides to give their items in return for something, they should know to check the prices. If you are on a trade server and someone gives you a Scorch Shot for your precious bud, well fuck you, you're on a trade server! You should know how to trade!
