OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - It's about time we reveal the ID of sellers on the AH

I have had an idea that I was going to wait until OOTP/PT 22 to suggest but it might be slightly relevant here.

I think the game (and it is a game) is more fun when there is functioning AH with fair sellers. I know this thread is about potential shadiness (and frankly I have seen much worse than what is posted above) but I think fair sellers can and should advertise their status.

People (not a lot but some) indicate their free to play or 0$ status in their name. Obviously not everyone is going to do this but I think knowing there are other people out there that do this helps and makes the game more fun. So I am going to encourage people when the new game comes out to identify themselves as a Fair Seller with a FS seller tag in their name. So if SuperFun23 wants to identify as a fair seller the would be SuperFun23_FS or SuperFun23-FS or SuperFun23(FTP-FS). You could be a pay player or a FTP player and still identify yourself as FS.

Now, I have not defined a "fair seller" yet so I would be interested in feedback but I would think that it would be something like someone who sells over 90% of their AH sales as last 7 average or less. Something like that (I actually sell a fair amount below L7 average) but it should not be designed to indicate any hardcore purity--just that the person sells fairly and makes the game more enjoyable for others. The 90% allows for someone to make some strategic use of selling above L7 sometimes.

This idea would obviously work better with Ty Cobb's idea of identifying sellers but it works without that idea as well (although it would obviously just be a self designation that you may or may not want to use--I am a FTP person but I have not added to my name this year).
