Also, in response to the SteamRep issue:
the users who [B]abused an exploit to steal money from us[/B] were given caution tags. Is it not fair to warn people that the people in question have no problem with exploiting someone's mistake for their own personal profit?[/QUOTE]
Let's say you go to the supermarket and buy a TV. It's listed as $50, when normally priced at $150. You go home and recieve a call from the supermarket saying that you paid too little and they'd like compensation. Would you just say "oh alright here's $100"? No. Would the supermarket list you on the "Watch out for this guy, he doesnt care about people mislisting prices" list? No.

It's more analogous to buying a TV and returning it for $100 more than you paid...
and doing that a shitton of times.
They'd put you on a list.

The Receipt would show you paid $50, not the $150 actual price.

Maybe it's not on purpose? I found a guy who said he was selling a hat for 1.33, so I traded him. I offered 1 refined and 1 reclaimed, but he said, "no, 1.33 reclaimed metal." Also, maybe the metal titles don't translate well in between Russian and English?
[QUOTE=GreenLynx;41680763]The Receipt would show you paid $50, not the $150 actual price.[/QUOTE]
Okay, now imagine the receipt showed $150, and you only paid $50. Then you returned it for $100 extra, bought another TV, rinse and repeat.

Now we're just talking hypothetical scenarios.

The point is that [b]due to an exploit people could steal money from us.[/b] Who gives a shit if "the receipt would show lol!!" it fucking [b]didn't[/b] and now you lose a ton of money.
The WH likely lost more money with the uncraftable scarf exploits, they didn't flip as much shit though.

If a regular store mispriced an item, say that 60$ new AAA game for 5$, that's a mistake on their part and not something the fucking buyer is held accountable for. If you decide to buy 100 of them and resell them, yes, the store lost money, no, they won't throw a hissy fit and hold you accountable for it, because [B][U]it's their fucking fault for mispricing it,[/U][/B] not yours. If steam put a game on sale for 5€ instead of 15€ due to their fuckup, they don't limit the buyers' accounts until they make up for it. Don't say it's not the same, as steam has a finite amount of game keys and you can resell them to earn much more money
Stop trying to justify holding other people accountable for your own mistakes. You shouldn't be entitled to ruin other people's trading careers because "waaah i did something wrong lets blame the repercussions on someone else instead of me"

Nah, russian traders are using english titles for metal

Probably.
