Please remove gem trades immediately as there are many getting sharked who have ZERO concept of gem to dollar value/Stk values
Moreso, trust trading is against rules and the current system is trust trading - scammer paradise.
Gems should be purchased and then traded alongside item trade in chosen intervals etc (this exists in TTD and other games) Coins can not be traded in those other games
I hate to see people losing and being so oblivious to it.
I agree, gem gifting is a cool concept, but they should only be able to be gifted through trades. I’ve already seen people saying they will give you gems if you give them a knife first. Being gifted gems by your friends or people you know and trust is awesome, but it would be better if you could type out the amount of gems you want to add to a trade and then add it that way
I don’t see how gem trading could go wrong. You’re making a conscious decision to trade your gems or coins, in a controlled environment, for items that you want. Other games do this successfully.
What I do see going wrong in actuality is - people “gifting” gems or giving away items with the prospect of being gifted gems , and getting scammed. It’s trust trading on steroids.
I’m not sure what the logic is behind gifting gems. I can’t imagine any scenario where I’d gift gems to random people in a server.
After a few days of observing the new mechanic , it’s clear that the inclusion of gifting gems/coins has led to trust trading and new people getting scammed/sharked hard.
There are a number of examples of this happening plainly visible in any given trade server at any given time.
Would love this mechanic to be “tradable”, rather than “giftable” as others have mentioned.
That being said, as I’m not a dev or stakeholder of STK in any way, I have no insight as to whether or not this proposal would impact the game’s real world economics in a negative way.
Idk why they didn’t just make coin/gem vouchers like they did for double jump, vip, ect. I still see people getting scammed or trying to scam every single time i go into trade server
