That is not considered trading. Scamming is not trading, it is stealing. Something any real trader would know.
So yes, ignoring someone IS one of the most rude things you can do in trading.
Because I am not amused by some people's offers, whether they are meant to be a joke or not. It's best for me not to reply or communication will get ugly. It always does. Because I will tell them one thing and they tell me another thing and that thing is bs and I will call them out on it and...blah blah blah...ignore. So I have basically have skipped that bs and simply have patience and wait for a satisfactory buyer.
You do the research on the item you want and gauge the price of the item before pinging anyone. (Even I do this. I don't bs anyone with a low price if it's something I really want).
Now I don't ignore everyone. If you're on my friends list or I know you, then it's a different situation. I may respond with a "go F off lol".
And that's a very flimsy argument. Scamming is a part of trading so is theft (to an extent). It's not a good part but if there wasn't a trade to begin with scamming couldn't even happen.
And what is your definition of "real trader" I make most of my gold in game buying and selling things, and you bet I take advantage of people in a rush to sell and lowball them, does that make me a real trader?
Getting ignored from a note is hardly rude at all, note them again maybe they missed it which is what 90% of the times I've been ignored have been.
I just found out what I was referring to in the first section; it's called anchoring bias.
My definition of a real trader is someone who trades on multiple platforms with at least one or more of them involving real money, not video game currency.
Also, I don't think you understand what scamming is. There are many who don't, so don't feel too bad. A lot of people will even mistake it for other things like lowballing or sharking which are completely different.
As for the whole "maybe they missed it" thing, I make sure to send messages at least once every 24 hours if they stopped responding. After 3-5 days with no response, I just assume the person is either a scumbag or got into an accident in the real world and they can't play anymore. Either way I move on.
Regardless, I'm not debating this any further. It's not worth it and you seem like one of the people we're talking about so naturally you wouldn't want to listen to someone calling it out. If not, my apologies. Regardless of what you think, it is still very rude to ignore someone and any trader with respect will respond even if it's just to decline.
Keep one thing in mind if you want people to take you seriously though. Never compare scammers to traders ever again. Scammers are con artists, not traders. If a surgeon and a serial killer both use a knife, that does not make them the same.
Yeah, there's no point continuing it because instead of keeping to the topic of a debate you've decided to personally insult me and be incredibly condescending. And you say people that ignore lowballs are rude...
You should also probably read what I said. I said scamming is a part of trading, not that scammers are traders. Just like there's doping in professional sports, or cheating in board games.
Keep one thing in mind if you want people to take you seriously though, never start throwing out insults and talking to the other person like they're an imbecile because you can't come up with a better argument.
