Are you really a trusted trader if you have to keep a multitude of wall-posts to demonstrate that? This is a PSA to not be so gullible. A lot of the times these TT stamps are set up with additional “alts” to gain trust from newer players. **Yes, even I, as a noob, kept TT stamps but only because I thought that’s what you were supposed to do. But eventually I deleted them because if you’re trading there’s no need.** There’s no way to actually be scammed with a trade unless you’re not paying attention properly. Trusted trader stamps are sus. I advise people who don’t know any better to QUESTION things before they trust someone so easily. “Trusted gifter” is another stamp to be warned of. Don’t do EC gift trades unless it’s with a FRIEND.
“Trusted Trader” posts were for before we had the trade system in place you just had to trust people to gift you back- but now that we have a trade system I don’t understand why people still do it lol
I don't think they're suspicious, I just think they're useless. The only time I've considered them moderately useful at all is when I see "Trusted EC Gift Seller" posted from an account that doesn't look like an alt. But even then it could be faked. So not necessarily sus to me, but also not helpful.
When I first started playing, I used to have it on my walls but i never understood it bc of the trading system. I barely trade anymore and now I have people I trust to buy EC items from so I don’t go looking anymore. That being said, I ll either think your a noob or a fraud if you have that still. ESP now that I see people in wc asking for us to put it on their wall
Honestly someone trying to take advantage of others could just get alts or friends to post “trusted trader”, so I usually tell people to take those posts with a grain of salt.
I had someone ask me to post trusted trader on their wall. I said its not trusted anymore coz scammers use it to fool noobs. They said its useful for them coz they sell nudes on here to people. Like tf thats a scam in itself asking to post trusted trader for a trade that never happened 😂😂
I don't pay them any mind in terms of actually trusting people more or less because I usually don't have to trust them because I jusr use the trade feature. BUT! I like when people give them out and support eachother. It is cute.
It annoys the heck outta me when I used to trade w the trading system and then I'd get a trusted trader stamp on my wall. Like, how do you know I'm trustworthy? I had no opportunity to scam you, we used the trading system. Da heck. They're pointless. Made sense back when people could only gift
*Noob here* I did not know this. But I definitely don’t understand why people do it, either. Like I’ve stated, I mostly encounter it being used by accounts used to scam people. Also just innocent new players.
I’d never recommend gifting ec gifts with strangers, tbh. It just ends up poorly a lot of the times. I agree they aren’t useful though. I’m just sus of everything
This is exactly how I feel. Some people even pay to have TT TG stamps posted so like (I’ve witnessed this happen) 🥴😬
Sometimes when I do random trades w random newer people they automatically just give me a cute little stamp like: “🤎🐨Trusted Trader🐨🤎” I give one back because it’s obvious it’s not an alt but 😂 wish it wasn’t just an assumed thing because like people have said they are essentially useless.
