Show buyers and sellers name on trade board

Well, there are so many other things wrong with console trade ( e.g., no buyout for listed price) which would do a better job IMO of stoppping the shenanigans of some players that I would prefer to be done first by GGG. Also, if names are posted then what’s next - ‘cause you know people will start the name shaming on the boards, in the game chat, etc. which would be worse. And some of that would be from the same scammers to intimidate sellers.

But I would totally support being able to block users, even if I don’t know their name.

Name & Shame is one of the few things that is not only against the rules, but GGG actually takes action against.

Any name & shame post on the forums gets edited to remove the name, or deleted entirely, quite quickly. Often within minutes.

Chat posts basically can't be deleted, since they're ephemeral, but GGG does take action on reports of those. At least, I'm told that they do. I've never either committed or reported a Name & Shame in chat.

I'll note that PC has NO anonymity anywhere in the game.

I don't think there's any good reason for console to have it anywhere either.

I’m not a pricefixer I just don’t want to deal with (most) people when I try to sell stuff.

I put an endgame item on market for lets say 20ex. First offer is 10ex wich I deny, second offer is 15ex wich I deny and the third offer is an insult. Usually it’s from a rich guy pretending to be poor. Anyway we can’t have nice things because people can’t behave.

I honestly can't tell... are you opposed to the OP's suggestion of showing buyer/seller names on the trade boards?

If so, can you explain in what way you think it would be harmful?

Also, just so we're clear on terminology, when we say "price fixing", we are not talking about setting a high price. We are talking about controlling the market by having a large number of copies an item (especially divination cards) listed for a very low price, but never actually selling them at that price. Then, when someone else lists for your "price" (or below, if they think they need to undercut the fake low price), you buy it.

This tactic is bad enough on PC, but on console, the number of items on the market is so low that even a very small guild (3 or 4 players) can conceivably control the market on a particular divination card. (example: doctor cards)

Showing seller names would help combat this, because if you see that the 20 copies of The Doctor that are listed for 5ex are all listed by 2 or 3 people, then you know they're price-fixed. Larger guilds, or those willing to do shenanigans with multiple accounts can potentially get around this, but it adds work for them. Anything that makes market manipulation harder to do is a good idea in my book.
