there is something seriously wrong with valve's style of work, like IDK, it wasn't obvious to them that it is horrible idea, OK let's say it wasn't, also they were unaware that it increases load on community servers, OK they didn't think about it either, 3 days delay kills card trading, they as well can remove "trading" from cards name, also they don't know that idea of secure mobile authentication is ludicrous, there is nothing less safe than a phone.

not only badge, all inventory is gone, it's chaos out there, utter chaos, on the community side of things, I mean.

Why do you care?
it still hurts
He never trades. Me, You,Chariotk, and probably more have all been denied.

That's what I said Chariotk, that's not you.
Who is that other Chariot you're cheating with? I didn't need you to begin with, BAKA

Especially because it was beneficial to both and you still said no.
I'll always remember the rejection.
All will be revealed in due time.
I checked, you had duplicates of yours and didn't have mine at the time. You were to blame.
All in jest of course, I don't really hold a grudge.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Thought I'd join in the Christmas spirit around here. And yes for some reason I came across a half-naked photo of Jason Momoa that someone had photoshoped a Christmas hat onto. Saved some time.
It's not bullying, it's a hoarding intervention.

Speaking of which he didn't want to trade cards for a NICHE game as a matter of fact.

It pains me to say this, since I really liked Stick it to the Man, but Zoink's new game (Zombie Vikings) is... not that good?
It's a really rote, by the numbers 2D brawler. The art is still good, but the drawbacks in their animation style really stick out in an action-heavy brawler game compared to the much slower paced platforming/adventure type game they have done before.
And while this is completely subjective, the characterisation, humour and unique events in Stick it to the Man eventually really grew on me, but here... the characters and writing in this are just painfully unfunny. It's a really bad miss, and that's a shame.

So I tried canceling a trade because apparently you have to have trade confirmations enabled as well as the mobile authenticator and now when I try the trade again I get:
Oh nooooooes!
Sorry, some kind of error has occurred:
You cannot trade with 7 because you recently had all your trade offers canceled.
I'm not even sure why it says 7 in there. Neither of our names have are 7. Trading is dead.

WHAT
how can you trade at all? Not only all my trades disappeared, all inventory too, only gifts left.
I'm waiting for valve to fix this shit so I can trade with their freaking delay.

Bestiary sounds awesome.
I'm not super sure what official mod support will do for the game, since the game's files already seem fairly easy to replace/modify.
huh

Not sure why it's worded that way, but cancelling a trade in escrow gets you a 7 day trade ban. Sorry bro.
Yea, a bit. There was a thread about it. They were asking if we'd be interested in that stuff. Given that they followed through with Grandia 2, it would stand to reason that more would be incoming eventually.
Oh my god.

If I cancel the trade of an item I'm selling, I get a 7 days restriction on the Steam Market?
Does deleting an item on the market to change its price do that too?
Or can the buyer cancel the trade if he sees that there is a 3 days delay?

You only get a temporary trade ban if you cancel a trade that's "on hold" and awaiting the 1-3 day time limit. Market changes (such as removing/relisting) an item aren't affected. Apparently either party can cancel the trade in escrow which results in both(?) accounts being affected. That last part might be a bug though...?
Yooo they haven't announced any new games. They did say they were satisfied with Grandia II sales and originally asked fans what Media Arts games they were most interested in.
Hope they do a good job porting the original Grandia. People have constantly told them they want the saturn version so I hope they listen.
Sure, the thread is one thing. The games being on steamdb basically confirms them. And two that quickly?

Hopefully I'll get yet again three special sale foils like last winter sale. Was a good time.

You could also end up like this poor sod on Reddit:
Basically trading for a coupon that expires before the trade hold finishes.

Thankfully it wasn't my account that got the trade bad. It's still dumb as hell though.

"An item you listed in the Community Market has been sold to **********. Your Steam Wallet has been credited 5.00 USD."
Dat foil thirst. Feels good man.

Wait so the person who didn't cancel the trade also takes the 7 day ban? That would be hilarious (in the completely not hilarious way).
On the other hand, 77000 compromised accounts per month. How many man hours does it take just to deal with that fucking problem.
Quoting this to make sure Jasec reads it eventually

That's what's being reported at the moment. Of course who knows if it's true or not, but there are enough people saying it's happening to them and that it's unfair that I imagine that's whats happening. Seems like a massive oversight on Valve's part.
Big numbers are big, so let's break this down with a little guestimation. 77,000 per month = 2,567 compromised accounts per day in an average month. Let's assume that Steam has around 175 people doing dedicated support. The number may be higher (since admittedly it's been a few years since I've been to Valve and their team might have grown a bit since then). With 175 people, that comes out to about 15 support tickets per day per person.
15 tickets * 175 people * 30 days = 78750 tickets, so we're pretty close.
Let's assume that this issue consumes 60% of all available support time related to Steam. Again, could be higher, could be lower. Let's also assume that these people work 8 hours a day. And work weekends. So the average person spends 4 hours, 44 minutes per day on these issues.
Assuming that all of this is correct (or at least close): each compromised account takes the average Steam support person 19.2 minutes to fix.
