New poll: to trade or not to trade

[fstrulz]

I make deals with my trusted friends who trade and I also give away invites to my trusted friends who don't trade at all.

I voted "Traders lick balls"

Well, one of the things that I hate about traders is they don't care at all about the rules, some even just like to brag that the owner of the site can't catch trader, something like that

well,if my friends could help me to get into acertain tracker that may interest me then it would be good and if they need assistance that i can afford i will be very happy to do so

while if neither me or my friends can't get into this or that tracker and i see someone whose interested in something i have while he has something that i need then we would be benefiting eachother and everybody satisfied so why not to trade then

You make a good point and that's prety much how I feel to be honest. I don't have a problem with trading as a way to get somthing your going to use (though I've never done it) but I do have some concerns about people who trade just for the sake of it. making it into a game/addiction. I don't think it's healthy for the people involved, the trackers or the wider BitTorrent community.

Well said.

Anyways...

I think it sucks that trackers are traded like Pokemon cards, and that Top Ranked Trackers are... Top Ranked.

We should be trying to make places like Deamonid and TL better. Shit those are the places that save me when I'm in tight spot. They're like the Oink of Everything.

Patriot it is different when you help someone out and then he says. Do you need anything? And you say. Yes I'm looking for such tracker. Then he helps you out.

However when people say. Have the Rabit send offers. Or have tracker x. Only need level 7+. That's pretty lame. That's pure convenience trading.

well said that's my point exactly though I'd like to ad it's not just conveience trading the thrill of the deal also seems to be an addiction for many.

Some people are really addicted in trading and do nothing else...

I believe that the feeling of giving away an invite to a person that deserves it is really amazing, as well as the feeling when you get a free invite by someone who really believed in you and trusted you.

Compare these feelings with the feeling you might get after a successful trade or even after been scammed.

@znik:

Invite swapping is OK in my book...

'Hey, I got an xxx invite. I'll swap it with your yyy invite.'

Invite trading is NOT OK in my book...

'Hey, I got an xxx invite. I'll trade it for your yyy + 50TB buffer + zzz + aaa + bbb, because my xxx is rare.'
