What is with the forum secrecy nowadays?

[Lawpvp]

I've noticed a couple major shifts in the community over the last 8 years. 1. Nobody wants to put their ign on their posts in Traders market anymore. Why? You deliberately want it to be harder for people to sell/buy things from you? Heaven forbid somebody find your ign on forums and pm you in game with exactly what you want. Oh wait, can't do that now, cuz 85% of people just ask others to post their ign without giving their own. So annoying. I post my ign on every trader's thread I make, would be nice if more people did the same.

2. no buyers want to make offers, and no sellers want to give prices. People don't bargain as much as they used to. Just ask for co/auto or ask for offer and say ty so they can fish for a new higher offer
