Is there a way to build reputation on this forum for things like being paid to run ubers or rushing?

I have had a lot of people ask me for validation in some form of forum reputation before they trust me running their ubers for them.

Is there any way to receive reputation for this on diablo2.io like you do for trades?

Thanks

Yes sir that is what the Trust System is for. Whenever you complete a trade through D2io the buyer and seller can earn a Trust point. We even have a Trust leaderboard under Trade Stats: The level next to your name in the forums is the "forum level" and is increased by simply posting more.

Yeah but trust requires you to close out the trade. Otherwise Im pretty sure I'd be winning lmao.

@Consci0us , to @xSD 's point, you could also make an Uber Service thread and charge little to nothing for some good reviews you can show off?

I've also noticed that Trust requires the other party giving it to you. Even if you make a good trade, they might not know how or feel like giving you trust.

Happened to me, made a trade and gave a trust, didn't get one in return.

For things like player services I saw people streaming the service to the other person, that might help with trust if you're able to stream on Discord or sth.

I've done at least 50 trades, buying and selling, and I think I've gotten +Trust on every single one - just look at the example screenshot above. Maybe I've missed one or two, but for the most part, if you remind people, they'll Trust you. Assuming no sketchy shenaniganery!

The issue with some trades is that they're recurring - someone who farms Keys of Hate a whole bunch might not want to remake the trade every time they sell one batch. However, that's how the Trust system works, so those sellers might do a dozen trades without getting Trust at all.

Getting onto that +Trust leaderboard is a challenge, though... I'll get there one of these days!

I think for OP's case where it's a permanent 'service' listing that doesn't expire (and is therefore never closed and therefore cannot leverage the trust mechanic) - what I've seen the most successful people doing is this:

• Asking people to 'like' the first post
• Asking people to leave reviews on the listing

Whether listers are doing that by asking or if people are just naturally doing that I don't know, but that seems to be the trend to fill the gap of the trust system in this niche use case.

Potential way I can develop multi trust for services type topics in the future but for now that's what peeps are doing to build reputation for uber rushes etc.
