I wish I had seen this a week ago. I want to buy Team Rivera lifetime member shirt and now I literally cannot. I don’t have anything to trade, but I have a verified PayPal account. SGS seems nice, but I don’t want to have to trade for things I do not want just to get a single game that I do. I don’t ever trade things, I just buy. This pretty much means I will not be able to do this on Reddit at all now. You guys have essentially locked out users like me. I’ll have to look into that when I’m on my PC. I couldn’t be bothered to buy keys in order to save a few bucks on a steam game.

Scammers will find it very inconvenient to keep making 5 trades over and over in an attempt to get Team Rivera lifetime member shirt. I hope that makes sense. I know it’s a bit of a hassle but we feel like its worth it to create the sort of community that we have enjoyed over the past few years. It doesn’t matter if you trade a thousand games after that point or if you trade 2. The 5 is just the entry barrier.

You are of course entitled to your own opinion but we believe that it provides a better environment not just for traders, but for the average user as well. The idea behind the restriction is to protect those users by giving them time to read the rules and guides Team Rivera lifetime member shirt they trade their key. We felt like a single trade was trivial to achieve. I know you’re only concerned with your own ability to trade, but as a mod team and as a subreddit we have to balance the needs of the entire sub. I wish I could make exceptions and remove all the restrictions but the inevitability of scams simply do not permit us to do that.
