Senpai Absol~ Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 was updated last night. Nobody made a thread so Just like with trade offers, you need to go to your email and hit accept to do the trade. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wubsies ♥ Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Then what the fuck is the point of opt-out of the email confirmation in out settings? What the fuck, Valve/Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seventh Woods Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 This really isn't a big deal or any kind of determent to the community at all, it's actually helpful. We care enough about trading/enjoy it enough to post on a forum where most of the topics in this section of the forum are geared towards the economy or trading. Most people don't enjoy trading as much as we do and may be more susceptible to being hijacked than many of us are. This community is great, there are a lot of helpful people, but unfortunately not everyone is actively involved and accounts get hijacked on a daily basis. The email conformation may seem like a bit of a hassle, but it's really a quick process and doesn't hinder legit trades from happening while helping to protect individuals who have had their account hacked.

I don't have a huge issue with the email confirmation, but a lot of people I trade with don't understand it/have their parents emails linked to their account, and think I'm hijacking them or something It's been up for a little over 1 day and I've already have 4 people back out of deals because of these dumb emails.

Why would they need to use their parent's? You can make an email in 15 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¬°BurningKirby Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Why would they need to use their parent's? You can make an email in 15 seconds Maybe they're worried the big bad policemen will come and get them if they find out they made an email while under the age limit.

ShadowMan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 So.. my hopes that it isn't real just crushed What for? Phishing bots Possible grammar\spelling errors ahead ~ This... eh... i have no words. Really. But i'll try to pick some to describe this situation from my point of view. First of all, Hipsta Jayzus was right with his wall of text ( http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/28706-steams-new-security-features-trading-in-general-and-a-why-you-should-be-concerned/&do=findComment&comment=317633 ) I've started to get WAY more adds because " hur dur tr8 offah doesn't bworking, so i've added you ". Explained how to opt out couple of times at least. What now? I'll get no fucking trades at all? Situation like link below will happen at least once per day? http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/29517-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh-fuckkkkkkkk/?hl=%2Btrade+%2Boffer What will be next? Email confirmation for every letter you type in steam chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
