Failing to transfer names that had XXXXa bids on them after being super confident that you have secure methods in place and then gatekeeping the "safe method" as a trade secret is certainly a choice
-
Okay since you started the name selling craze on legacy and you're also the only active "trusted trade mod" left (as far as I know) may we know why your wts thread was suddenly closed? While still a lot of bids ongoing. Obviously this has an impact on the other name sales.
Some of the names reached prices far higher than I expected. Any indication of when names were going to be sold based on R/Bs or B/Os and even windows of time for the bidding to close would have given other nefarious parties incentive to try and steal as many names as possible by brute force character name creation and luck (window between deletion and creation). My actions and intentions were in the name of security. Unfortunately, as pointed out previously, there is no 100% failsafe method - only methods that can decrease risk significantly.
The sales and transfers I wanted to make have been made.
If you have a name you were truly interested in and did not receive, feel free to discuss via PMs.
So what's the best practice to safely transfer names that other sellers can follow. Did all your transactions go successfully.

I appreciate the feedback and thoughts people have shared here. There are things I have not considered that others have presented, and it is helpful to me as I try and navigate the moderation of such trades.
As the mods have pointed out, there is an inherent risk with name trading. I do consider these to be riskier trades versus guilds/trims/pre post. As mentioned in the thread, there is no way to steal a guild through moderation that has one party walk away with both goods and funds. I screenshot all my trades with confirmation from both parties once the trade is complete.
The two major concerns with name trading:
Some random coincidentally brute force spamming character creation for the specific name which results in a “steal”.
The buyer or seller coordinating with a 4th party to steal while pretending to trade in good faith.
I have some ideas that will help minimize these threats, though, not perfect security. It never will be unless ArenaNet introduces a tradable naming token.
The thought that a trade mod would take advantage of this situation and steal a name… that defeats the entire intent of the position. And ultimately, you must not be using very trustable trade mods if you have concerns someone would do this. Use mods with an extensive history of trust.
Open to discuss further of course!Okay since you started the name selling craze on legacy and you're also the only active "trusted trade mod" left (as far as I know) may we know why your wts thread was suddenly closed?

Already
45 (Forgot about the caster one) OS Gold Crysta for sale just in the top few wts posts. A pair of Krytan Axes and a few Serpents. Probably more than have been for sale in the past 5 years. These items are all going to become merchfood in a few months.I care in the sense that its a shame to see 20 years of these things being unobtainium reversed overnight. First minipets, then max/gold pre items, now these rare skins. They might as well just add Q7's, Swamp Clubs, Dwarven Axes back to the drop table, put storage in pre, and drop EL Reindeer and Henchmen tonics into the Zaishen chest and lets call it a day. The attitude by some game dev clearly seems to be that everything should be attainable for everyone, so lets just make it so.
What a sad perspective to have. This is their exact point, things should be attainable for everyone, not just veterans of 20 years. With the surge of new players it’s unattractive to have stuff that they could only afford by playing for years. Imagine starting a new game and there‘s a bunch of items that aren’t obtainable anymore and everyone is flexing on you with these cool looking skins/minis. People that are against that are weird entitled beings with huge ego over pixels. Let others have fun too, it’s been 21 years lmao. Thank god they finally add unobtainable items 🙏🏼 praise 2weeks!
these skins are literally available inscribable , no "new player" is gonna complain about some veteran flexing on them with an os crysta. I still think it's funny they added these but knowing 2weeks/anet recent track record I doubt it was intentional.

last bump, will pm the people that took b/os after auction ends tomorrow 18:00

basically now you you can use Wells (necro spells) even if there are no corpses but in exchange for 66% of your max hp. That significantly changes several roles in the current uwsc meta
