(PSN)Romulus93 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Some people in game chat suggested this was a good site for trading. The site itself asks permissions to connect to my account here and on Steam. Is this site trustworthy at all? Anyone know anything about it? What's the worst that can happen?

0 Chamiel Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Once you click "Connect with Steam" you will be redirected to the Steam website were everything is explained in detail. To make it easier for you and others -> Quote - the site will be able to identify you within the Steam Community and retrieve public info such as your stats and achievements. - a unique numeric identifier will be shared with the site, rather than your Steam login credentials. - basic information about your Steam account will be shared with a third-party web site. See our Privacy Policy for more information. So basically, everything that is visible on your Profile is visible to warframe.market Edited June 5, 2016 by Chamiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Trichouette Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 This website is sure don't worry, and it's the best way to make plats easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wiz3rd Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Nothing bad can happen, been using the site since early 2015 and still going to. They just point those things out for legal purposes, nothing to worry about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 [DE]Momaw Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Warframe Market is not run by DE, it is not supported by DE, it is not trusted (in an encryption/security way) by DE, you are on your own and anything that goes wrong with it is completely your own fault. I feel it's important to stress these facts when talking about it on the official forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly donno why DE wouldn't just buy WF market and make it an officially sponsored site to make trading easier since they're not putting in an auction house system to make trading less of a hassle.

Wouldn't it be easier to make an in-game player market that works in a similar way then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bazaar is a horrible concept right now because its kinda dumb. The main reason we wanted WF market in the first place is because we can advertise our stuff while playing, buyers just had to look us up and contact us and we'd be able to go to them in short order, the point which DE seems to have missed. Maroo's Bazaar is basically a live-action version of trade chat, which was a bother to use in the first place, unless you're looking for a quick buck.

0 Noey140 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Its a great site, but only usefull for PC, i already traded hundreds of times thanks to the connection to other people buying/selling their stuff there (already using for months) Warframe trading is bad because there you can't trade in real-time and the prices are wrong...

0 kubbi Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I use it and logged in with my steam account. Nothing happened. I'd say its trustworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Relentless.Zen Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) The site is save. They dont have any of my personal data, you just need to post a code in the about me section in the forumprofile and thats all. You dont have to sign in there with your warframe Email address and/or password so its a safe thing. Edit: If you have still worries: Just dont use it :D Edited June 5, 2016 by -S-O-Kranker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you're coming from, but auction house type suggestions have permeated throughout the history of Warframe, and so far DE hasn't done anything useful. It's fair to conclude that they may perceive the concept to be somewhat adverse to their economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fair to conclude that they may perceive the concept to be somewhat adverse to their economy. An auction house-esque system would actually be more beneficial to the economy, long-term. More players playing instead of camping trade chat means they're doing something productive, like playing the game (making it more lively for everyone else), and getting stuff to sell. More stuff (I.E: Primes) = more supply to feed demand. And more supply to feed demand means more people being able to make their own prices for items that will inevitably lead to prices dropping down to reasonable levels, which will then result in less people charging an arm, a leg, and one of your reproductive organs, for rare components and items.

You forgot to mention how lower price incentives take away from the demand to purchase from the market e.g. Prime Access. I guess I confused you when I said 'economy' I was actually referring to the real-life profits of DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 (PSN)ChiefStevy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Romulus, Warframe.Market is perfectly safe. Just keep in mind, however, it is mainly concentrated on PC. Almost all the members are on PC, almost the deals and the sales are on PC and as a PS4 player, the site really isn't useful for me at all.
