[question to GGG] PoE items on d2jsp

"

Lol'd

Java script parser is what the bot was written in as well.

where did I say it wasn't a bannable offense? Why you keep putting words in my mouth?

The site became popular because of the bot, not because d2 needed a "trading forum". Think before you talk please.

From what I'm reading in this thread, nearly all of you have never traded on d2jsp.

1) Claim: d2jsp is a "black market" / RMT site.

I personally traded at d2jsp for more than 3 years purely about D2 and guess what - I have never paid a single cent and I am "wealthy" in d2jsp. Contrary to belief, there is no real money trading (RMT) on that site. Someone mentioned the donor forum - yes there is a donor forum but I seriously doubt any RMT is going on inside those private forums.

However, the only "black market" part of the forum is that you can "donate" real money to get forum gold (fg) - the currency that d2jsp works with. But you can't sell the fg for real money and if you are ever caught being part of a deal like that, both parties (the buyer and the seller) are banned permanently and all fg stripped - no refunds. You can't sell the items for real money either, the site does not allow it just like it disallows selling fg for real money.

2) Claim: d2jsp has its roots in Diablo 2 hacking.

d2jsp didn't become popular because of some bot program (it's bannable to link to or hint to any hacking sites/hacks), it became popular because it brought to D2 what it sorely needed: a universal currency. That is what made d2jsp so attractive because it resembled a realistic economy. No more duped SOJs... no more bartering with whiny, annoying kids who think their item is the best in the game. d2jsp is exactly what D2 needed.

3) Claim: The selling of beta keys hurts GGG and steals GGG of cash. (note: this is

No. Just no. If there weren't so many beta keys to begin with, GGG would have more cash. A lot of donor levels (silver, gold, etc) have a lot of beta keys to give out and because of all of those beta keys, GGG doesn't get as much money. Because of this, GGG most likely tuned the package prices to be in line with what they want to get in relation to the free beta keys as well. Silver would've probably been a lot cheaper if there were no beta keys attached to it. Not to mention everyone, their dog, their sister, and their grandma got free beta keys throughout the CB. That is just GGG being generous with beta keys and not requiring everyone to buy a Supporter package to get the beta key. GGG has given out so many free keys that sold keys on d2jsp are in the very, very small minority.

4) Claim: d2jsp economy will ruin PoE economy.

Observe #2...this is why no one here should care about d2jsp. PoE does not have the same issue as D2 where ingame gold became totally worthless and unused for most things. PoE does not have that problem due to currency items. Those currency items act as ingame currency and this model is working for PoE. d2jsp won't be used as much due to this.

5) Closing comments.

I do find it stupid that d2jsp expanded to other games instead of being exclusive to D2. I do not support that part of d2jsp.

This whole thread is dildos.

You're dead wrong. You act as if Diablo 2s economy was fine before d2jsp came along. It provided a much needed economic system, you should seriously stop throwing around misinformation. You make yourself look like a moron, and in the long run, even if you were right, it won't accomplish anything as GGG can't do a damn thing about jsp or the people that use it.

Yes the trading forum was in fact its claim to fame. There were many, many other bots to choose from. Some better than the jsp bot. Also you may have noticed i added an s to word kid. This makes it plural. This means i was not talking to only you not matter how self centered you may be. Please pay attention and try to keep up.

It ruins the game because it makes it effectively pay to win, but it doesn't take away revenue that would have gone to ggg. The whole point is that they don't sell in game items in the first place.

The whole point is that the sites existence has a negative for PoE, so I dont really get why you would be pedantic enough to point this out. I realise beta keys (what I was talking about) & in-game items are two different things, and also dont really care whatever FG actually is.

I just want people to understand that it is not OK, because if some people realise what they are doing, they are less likely to do it (sorry if this sounds like a rehash of what you said)

Consider these 2 points and see if you agree:

• GGG doesnt sell you in game items because that would be pay2win
• Every time someone sells an in-game item on one of these sites, it brings us 1 step closer to pay2win.

So what do you think? Do you want to help make PoE pay2win? I assume those of you that say you cant afford beta keys DONT want that, so by providing your support to these sites you are really shooting yourselves in the foot arent you? Its not really relevant if the currency is real money or not, any 3rd party currency is likely to have
the similar negative effects.

By some of the latest posts made by jspusers I can understand why people would think the community is bad.

I want to ensure you, not all of them are haters like those guys.

@those guys. Why do you get all defensive and start insulting people? this is a discussion and there is no harm staying mannered...

Actually during the d2jsp ere of diablo botting, it was the only public injected bot. All the others were pixel based. So no for a long time there was nothing comparable to d2jsp.
