Section ID's, shmection ID's...

I understand that the different section ID's determine what items you recieve most. AND I understand that this was implemented so that it would foster trading among the memebers of the PSO online community, but DAMN!

I'm more than willing to share items I can't use, and I trade with the guys I know all the time, but I just can't trade with strangers. I've been jakked so many times when I die, and that's bad enough. But there's no way I'm gonna drop my gear voluntarily and risk getting it stolen.

I'm not the biggest Diablo fan, but they had the right idea when they implemented the "no scam" trading menu.

Who knows. Maybe in this case, cultural differences really did blind the Japanese to just how amazingly assholeish Americans can be at times.

Please don't turn this into a racial flame thread, but name yourself something appropriate, and quietly go join 20 japanese games and 20 american games. You tell me the difference.

Or maybe they knew this is exactly what would happen, and did it deliberately, forcing you to play more to recover items stolen http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_biggrin.gif (sort of a built in weapons-decay)

One question, where did this come from??? You totally lost me

Let's just say that for as long as I've played this game I haven't met a Japanese player who would steal or cheat. It's more of a statistical thing of course.

A way to do trading is to have a middle man who is a regular at PSO World. We meet on Sunday, middle man picks up both items from each trader, examines them and give them to the traders. Usually someone at level 100 could qualify to be a middle man too, given the fact that the person wouldn't want to tarnish the reputation of his hard earned Lv 100 character.

Personally I have a lot more fun giving items away to good players after playing through a level. It's just too time consuming and stressful running around looking for the right person with the item you need to trade with.

Perhaps I'm a little too hard core on the honor system, but better that than the other way around.
