Feedback based on BS

I sent a game off quite a while ago, but I haven't hassled the other person regarding feedback, since I want to give folks plenty of time to make sure there aren't any hard-to-see scratches or anything that might ruin the game.

In any case, I finally got feedback today, and while it's positive, the user selected the "overall package quality is not as good as expected."  That case, manual, and disc were all in pristine condition.  I was all, "bluh?"  And then I read the comment: "the game sucks ass"  Well, that's fine and dandy (though I personally enjoyed the game), but your feedback is supposed to be based on the trade, not the gameplay.

Seriously, though.  There's got to be a way to get rid of that.  Are you even allowed to use profanity in trade feedback?

As much as I agree that this is pretty lame, there's really nothing to correct. You get your points and a boost in feedback, so I'd write it off as a bad experience and forget about it.

He nailed it, many of us have gotten similar feedback and its lame, but technically it doesn't really affect you (unless you're on a threshold of opening up trade slots, etc, and you're down by 5).

I would kind of like for this to be worked on... but really it doesn't affect anything and shouldn't be a priority for the G-Team.

Haha. That's great. I pity you, seriously. Just be happy that you get your points.

I agree, you should be able to contest text messages within reason.  Someone posting spam like that to your feedback history can indeed have negative impacts, even if it's only psychological

Alrighty; thanks, y'all.  I thought mine was an isolated case.

Aww... I've liked all of the AC games I've played.... sure they're all basically the same game, but it's a game I like.  <=)

Email Goozex and let them know about this buyer.  I looked at their buyer history and saw that they also left a +5 for Turning Point: Fall of Liberty with the comment:

'the game came on 2/26 wich is kinnda late.'

Any one of us could be next. I shouldn't have to worry about getting a +5 for my pristine copy of Beowulf just because it sucks.

The comment on my +5 was "THANKS WORKS LIKE NEW!!!!!!!!"

Mine liked it enough to use all caps and multiple exclamation points... I'm pretty sure the +5 was accidental.

Even his UI makes me wanna kick this window licker in the throat.  I'm marking this guy on my coveted "never trade with this swamp donkey" list.   Thanks for the heads up and sorry you had to be the one to deal with him.
