(Un)usual trade requests

Guy was offering Vex and wanted Ohm
I expected a "Haha, very funny", now what?

While I applaud the choice of game name, I think you'd be surprised how often that works.

And I don't mean "haha, I tricked you!", I mean people knowingly being impatient and not wanting to deal with waiting for 2 Vex or whatever for their Ohm. I repeatedly see games actively offering their Ohm for a Vex or Gul for Ist or pretty much any rune for 1 rune lower, just to break it into what they actually need quickly.

Seems to be getting more as well. Which makes sense I guess..with everyone getting closer and closer to just missing one more piece, if all you need is a Lo and all you find is a Sur, why not just trade it 1:1? Not like you still need any change afterwards.

I once saw a game in lobby - "O Ohm N Vex" (eu it was). Took me 3-4 seconds to react some dru fella just put his Ohm and was glad to grab my Vex. So, it happens occasionally (perhaps he was itchin for immediate hoto roll, I dunno).
And about "O Sur N Lo" example - indeed, it happens here and there. Can recall 4 or 5 such examples - mostly barb players just convertin their another fresh-horked Sur to another Grief/Fortitude roll, I guess.

by the end of ladders it's not uncommon for people to give away high end runewords and uniques for free.

I'm ok with and can understand "O Ohm N Vex" trades.
The opposite "O Vex N Ohm" is just funny to me.

The first case is already a rare occurence, the second asks for the first occurence to happen and joining your particular game on top.

At the end of the day, it takes both people to click the green accept, and if both are fully aware of what they are doing and happy with it, then so much the better.

"O Vex N Ohm" is at least a little better than "Brng FREE Ber" games in my mind.

This is me. I’m not the most patient trader so if I need something I pay big for it. For example, just gave a guy 5 Cold Skillers for his Ist as I needed to roll something. I frequently offer Ists or Vex for simple things like 5m Gold, graphic swaps or a socket quest. I think it helps the game, rewards some players who don’t have the means or opportunities. I see lots of people overreacting too because if they see a few games where it’s Sur for Ber or Ber for Cham they lose their marbles and think the market 360’d haha. It’s all part of the fun!

Can i be your friend? @BigSpaid
