Are there any good arguments against trading?

The end justifies the means is rarely a good argument.

Looks like that's a yes.

Is it ok to trade for high level trackers, sell them on ebay, and buy bread and water from the profits to feed my starving family?

which is exactly why owners like stoi are frustrated and can't trust you.....

Stoi is frustrated with me because I am not a trader?
I said "there can be honor among thieves". What I mean is just because we may break certain "rules". (*cough* pirates *cough). does not mean we dont have morals....Are you confused or did I miss something?

Are there any good pro-trading arguments?

Mea culpa, I actually read your post the other way, as in there can be no honor among thieves since the main gist of this thread has been an argument to try and legitimise trading by saying that the end justifies the means!
So for that I do apologise, it is just I have seen the same thing over & over & over and the same argument is wheeled out , yet it really doesn't change things one bit, the private trackers want you to respect their rules, they are so very simple, and basically all they are asking for is consideration as members of the website that they created.

:emo::fear:

Its basically a catch 22 situation.

We open up, we get dupes, cheats, idiots etc etc

We close to stop them, we get the dupes trading and selling accounts.

We bring in invites we get the good members not using them for fear if being banned, and the dupes cheats inviting themselves making more dupe accounts, or trading/selling the things.

we just cant win.

How did it work out when you personally invited people after they explained why they wanted BCG?
I know you got at least one good member that way (me) :P
