So I have been enjoying the Auction trading platform lately, but I think a slight improvement on the system can make it much better for buyers and sellers.
So this afternoon I purchased something relatively valuable on CS (think it's a crystalline something) That someone had for some reason placed on there for 1k. I thought I got a good deal but because as a buyer, my name is always shown on the seller's sales screen, the guy immediately tracked me down and started harassing me and bombarding me with "F U" s and various unfounded reasons why I am not a decent member of society and asked for it back. Of course I wouldn't give it back considering his (im not going to name the person Im sure you have received hundreds of complaint letters regarding this guy already) shamelessness and unreasonable behaviors so I reported him. I think all this can be easily prevented if you allow people the option to hide their names on the auction house - it doesn't really help anyway. I think if you are going to commoditize items in the game on a trading platform you might as well just give market participants some privacy so gains and losses in the market won't turn into pointless arguments.
