AwesomeMcCoolName Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Putting aside the whole--profile rep is useless statement... I can understand if it was a paypal trade then theres a reason for rep... For one, the person wants more rep so they can do pp trades easier. Secondly, there was actually risk involved, and therefore Rep is actually meaningful. But, so many trades i do, Ballcap--for x metal...taunt for y metal...etc... WHY does the other person insist on Rep? It is utterly meaningless unless you're dealing with pp (When was the last time you said yay or neigh to a regular trade because they had/didn't have rep..) Is having the most rep suddenly a new E-dick Award? Over the course of my trading career i've accumulated around 200 Profile Rep...but noone cares about it...noones ever asked to see it...its never gotten me anything...so WHY... WHY........I just don't get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Crud Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The more profile rep you have the more experienced of a trader you look like, which I guess counts for something--ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverpun Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Whenever someone asks for it I always ask them the same thing; "I don't mind giving it, but you know it's useless, right?" A large chunk say "yeah, I know" and request it anyway (reasons vary). The rest are inexperienced traders who don't know any better (I usually try and explain what SOP is to them). Most lol I ever got from this informal poll was "yeah, but I think it looks nice/pretty"--a statement I emphatically disagree with *cough*clutter*cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddilicious Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It is useless. I always tell them not to leave it if they ask. A lot of people leave it without asking. I never give people rep on their profile page, even if they insist on it; mostly because I'm too lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukecandy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I just leave +reps on peoples page to annoy them I also leave +reps sarcastically to people who piss me off and/or try to rip me off or just beg me for free stuff or buy valuables for worthless shit.

Chief D Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah, it's pointless. I always tell people that when they ask for and. And remove them when they post on my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
