    I feel that during my time on the Harpoon Gaming trade servers, or any trade server in general, and there's a lot of people that really, really, piss the shit out of me. Who pisses you off?

    Snipers on AT2.
    Pyros with shotguns.
    Soldiers with shotguns.
    Heavies.
    Scouts.
    Spies who shoot me.

    I don't gamble and rarely/never trade.

    And the one thing I absolutely HATE about trading....


    is the freaking lowballers or highballers. This also applies to quick buying, absolutely HATE it.

    And here is why...

    Let's say you have this unusual, we'll take my unusual brown bomber with the effect of kill a watt for example. This hat is 49 keys, and it is a set price. When I go to tf2outpost, the first thing I see when I look up "unusual brown bomber: kill a watt" is a bunch of tf2outpost premiums, with all their fancy text and all, with their colorful names, saying:

    "Hi everyone!"

    "I'm QUICKBUYING an unusual BROWN BOMBER with the effect of KILL A WATT for 42 keys!!!!!!"

    "One of a kind discount you'll NEVER see!"

    "pls no friend request, offers only"

    And the cancerous part is that they attract so many views, and then people actually fall for that stuff. Jee, what a guy....

    I hate it.... I hate it so much.

    I hate RANDOM TRADERS. They are the dumbest things in the history of trading.

    - When people add me and CLEARLY did not read my trades on Outpost.
    - When I advertise a trade that I'm looking for Unusual and Australium discounts and someone trades me asking me to pay full price for their ks weapon with crappy Strange parts (This has happened way too often, believe it or not. I've lost count).
    - When I say I'm looking for Unusual quicksells and someone trades me asking for one key off on their Robo hat.
    - When people think one key off a fifteen key Unusual is a quicksell.
    - When someone random trades me and asks me what I'm selling, then, after I put down my items, they put down their's and say "Well I'm selling this." and then try to flip it around and get me to buy their items.
    - When people lowball on my items.
    - When people overprice their items (Saw someone on Outpost selling a key for 96 refined not too long ago).
    - When someone says "I really want this item.....so I'll buy it for 30% off!"
    - When people try to pay in items, and don't overpay.
    - When people make me an offer they already know I will decline.
    - When people add me and make a stupid offer, rather than just leaving the offer on Outpost or my profile. Huge waste of my time.
    - When people automatically assume I'm quickselling everything in my backpack.
    - Anything that wastes my time even though I make my trades very clear.
    - All of this pisses me off to no end, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING on this list surpasses my hatred for scammers. They are fucking pathetic.

    My strange and killstreak collection of weapons has slowly amassed over time, but if bp.tf never included SCM pricing for killstreak stuff my backpack value would probably be 75% less.
