Top Traders (measured by feedback)

[bogbrush]

Well, i was bored ya see, and i thought, how am I doing in the traders race?
so i went through the posts of the main traders that are still active, and counted all the positive feedback in each to come up with this list. (soooo much SPAM - number of posts has NO relation to popularity of trader)

obviously not every trader gives feedback, so this is only those visibly affirming their positive trade experience with the trader.
but none the less, i think none of us can be surprised by the top 2

current world (6) has existed since 24 October 2011(24.10.2011)
Most traders on this list started business after 01 December 2011(01.12.2011)

unfortunately, i am calling a halt to updating this thread,
because there appears to be a sudden rise in the number of 'new player' and/or village friend 'great trader!' posts.

(the following information is correct as of 07 march 2012 @ 12:15 UTC)

('alt posts' refers to the suspicion that the trader themselves has given themselves a good review)

THERE IS NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ON ANY OF THESE TRADERS (that is: no-one got killed or ripped off according to feedback)


i apologise if i missed anyone, but if i did, you probably don't get any feedback to speak of, or are a single item type trader.

Make sure to note any negative feedback, if there is any.

well dunno about here but if something like this happened with well known shops in my country that guy or organisation will be in bad situation. you cant top them. any of them may be selling other things. this kind of survey might and most probably will decrease that shops selling rates. and raise others unfairly.maybe goo goo shop cant just sell or maybe people that buy dont feedback. if your gonna go this you must think every possiblity and get permission to do that, i think this thread should be closed and sent to hell.well i dont think people are gonna agree with me but its true. and theres something nooby bout moderation here.
lets say someone posted "FUCK YOU" on a thread and you ban him. you edit and write user was banned for this post but fuck you is still there. same thing should go for warnings and other things too.

there is none, and i have now edited OP to say so

this is just a survey, and reputation is everything in the public trading world, the only real thing you can glean from my post is that nine dragons and ramones are popular, that there arent enough advertised main traders, and all traders need to get their people to voice their good experiences (if any).

i did say in my OP that 'obviously not every trader gives feedback'

[evilboy666]

lets say this is real life and im lady goo. now you have advertised nine dragons from 1 point and everybodys gonna trade from there. and even if i have %1 decrease in my sellings. i can prosecute(translated) you and get my losses or if im like the %99 of the world population, i will do everything to take as much as money from you.
