Can we please get something done about unreasonable trades in the gem exchange and item market?

Examples: Asking for 150 Dragon gems + 75 of six others in exchange for a single gem, or thousands of one gem for a handful of another. And items set up for 1,234,567 PD when they're clearly not worth that price.

No one is ever going to offer on those trades/buy those items. It's clearly trolling.
There's not many of these kinds of trades but surely it's something that needs to be dealt with?

Perhaps a vote kick function where users can kick out trades if it’s really unreasonable? Like if 25 users flags a trade, it’ll be taken down?

The only problem I see with the vote kick problem, is that people could get 24 of their friends to vote kick every trade

Yeah, I think it should just be left up to the mods to monitor it as any member involvement could cause problems. :/

I get that troll trades are annoying, but unless they're breaking the rules, we can't really do anything ^^'
Just ignore them.

@Firelight Offering things like one for one gem not knowing the prices of them, for example: a Poison gem in return for a Dragon gem, I get. But offering a handful asking for thousands? Nah, I'm not buying it. That's trolling or ridiculous greed.

@CatLady, Thank you for posting. It's just so annoying sometimes, especially because I know there's pretty much nothing that can be done about it.

Quote from Rules
3.2 No scam trades like passing off a regular Pokémon as something that it's not, e.g. special powered ("mega-able") or retro; or doing anything else that is considered acting deliberately unfair. This is valid for the whole site - including the Global Trade Station, the Auction House, the Gem Exchange and the forum.


I think those troll trades can be considered as scam since they mostly offer things as they are mostly making them deliberately as shown on this picture

Totally agree! Thank you both! <3
The proof is in the details, so to speak....
@CatLady Given that, does that mean that something can actually be done about them?

Are they sharing links with trades, proclaiming those Ghost Gems are actually Dragon Gems? No, they're not, so they're not 'passing it on as something it's not'
There's the 'worth rating' to indicate whether what's being shown, is worth the price being asked. We can't do more than that.

Can it be annoying? Yes, horribly so, but we're not gonna act as if they're breaking the rules when they're not.

"or doing anything else that is considered acting deliberately unfair."

As it says in the rule. I call offering one gem in return for thousands unfair, but hey, that's just me. But it seems others have a problem with it too.

These listings have been sitting up in the Item Market ever since the Item Market came out, but I see no issue with them. While yes, it can be annoying to see listings like these up in the Item Market, but if we were going to start regulating listings that are unreasonable like this and handing out punishment for them then it wouldn't be a good thing. People already complain a lot about "overpriced" Nuggets for example in the Item Market. Meanwhile, there's nothing really wrong with the prices or how the market is for such an item. People like to believe items should stay at certain prices (i.e Nuggets for 1.5k each) since they've stayed that way for many many years when the Item Market never even existed. Now that the Item Market exists there's actually more of an economy that there has been unlike before, now you finally see items change in value and see more of a simulation of an actual economy.

So that's my point, Item Market listings shouldn't be getting touched nor being looked into unless there's something actually shady going on, such as people exploiting items or just the system in an illegitimate way. People being able to freely use the Item Market should be fully permitted. People listing up items for whatever they think they may be worth, should be as well.
