This idea is HORRIBLE. I rarely speak so strongly on ideas, but this is just bad.
1) It would destroy the "massive, multiplayer" part of MMORPG
2) Solo players would have NO chance at a nearly as good game experience and as a result I believe less people would play the game.
3) I have NEVER been scammed as a buyer (and I buy all my buffs when I go hunting), and I've only been scammed 3 times as a seller in over 3 months over level 200.
If YOU don't want to buy buffs, that is your right, but don't take it away from the other 50,000+ active players because you don't like it. As far as real buff-selling-scammers go, they could be reported to HCS. While HCS wouldn't act on one persons support ticket, if they scam enough people, HCS would take notice and could surely look at the game logs to see what was going on, if it was THAT severe.
The buff system in FS has worked since inception; if its NOT broken, DON'T fix it.
I'm disappointed to hear such a well-respected and high level player in FS make an idea that would crush, slow down, and prevent the quality gameplay by the masses below them.
Just my $1.35, flame away.
