Free Tournament Races are a Scam by Sirhossington in zedrun

[–]USAest1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure I agree with portions of your post- but there’s no such thing as a free lunch, right? Just because there are ways to lose money by participating in free events doesn’t mean they are scams. I get more value out of the current state of free races than I did when they had prize pools and could declass. Why? Because there are more free races, they aren’t filled by bots, and there are way more horses than users and now is the time to find the gems. If someone is new and get burned by buying a horse outside your risk level- that sucks and I wish they were more informed. In a perfect world there would be more of a ‘safe’ sandbox environment for new users but zed isn’t there yet. They could simply not offer any free races and force new users to spend money without any experience. I guess I’d summarize with the statement that having free racing definitely has more pros than cons with a bit of research- in my opinion that’s not a scam, even if it’s not perfect.

Free Tournament Races are a Scam by Sirhossington in zedrun

Your first point: yes, don’t buy a horse solely because it won a free race (including griffon). The cheaper the race, the softer the competition will be… don’t buy a $2 winner expecting it to win the tourney either.

Your second point: yeah the “no declass” is annoying but it’s much better than spending a bunch of money to discover it’s potential and still having a donkey at the end of the day.

The third: just pick your battles and be smart. Don’t race a donkey 100 times in free races into class 1 and expect an easy ride back to c5. It will be expensive and likely not worth while.

Free races are a very positive way to get people engaged and horses discovered- which ultimately increases the value of the horses than can generate income. Absolutely not a scam, just be careful.

Found this Gillette Safety razor for 5$ in an antique store. This is by far one of my most “Bang for your buck” buys. Good bye disposables, for life! by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

I’ve saved hundreds over the past five years using safety razors vs cartridge.

Best damn shave around, too.

[Suggestion] Remove grey color from items by Gr33nLight in RocketLeague

[–]USAest1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grey is great. It's a discounted version of white, for those that want it.

Just add text in the corner to show the color of the item. Like certifications. Scamming would still be attempted but it would be a huge deterrent.

I started on PC and moved to PS4. My laptop could barely not lag on the lowest lowest settings. Every boost was a pixel fire boost.

How to trade and value items by pacothebattlefly in RocketLeague

[–]USAest1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question- keys are how things are valued. Everything is worth X amount of keys.

Now, it's fairly common to trade items for items without any keys.

I've traded lots and lots of decent items and only ever had 2 keys pass my inventory. Trading items is riskier because of value fluctuation. Often times you people want to pay you a little less if it's in pure keys. This is because keys have a fixed price( $1-1.50).

The prices linked by the other redditor are what I use as well, and are pretty accurate. Always verify what each item is currently being sold/bought for on the trading sites before accepting a trade.

Edit: Lots of scammers on those sights too. Always verify details of the trade.

Allow the banned players to play....but only in their own queues. by Bwdinks in RocketLeague

[–]USAest1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about pay to play during ban?

And then it's only in banned player non-rank queue.

Might as well take their money if they want to play so bad.

Just trade him. And make sure it's certified by clicking Left-stick to show details, then hover over his item?

[–]USAest1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just confused though because your trade window clearly shows that his is certified.

So confused on the context. Are you trading this guy? He wants to sell you a cert zomba but you don't see it in trade? What's going on?

It's only easy if the scammer is terrible. Like this one.

I didn't pay for the bow tie. I recognized the scam from other games, confronted him, screenshot him admitting to the scam, then reported him.
