I have played the game I currently sell for, for about 8+ years now (started at a young age), and was always just a clueless casual gamer. There is a lot of social aspect to the game but mainly stayed to myself and had never heard of what is notoriously mentioned as "The Blackmartet" throughout the community within the game.
In more recent years, and as I got older, I became more social and ended up being informed about the buying/selling of in-game currency, items, and accounts. As time went on, you would always hear about people getting scammed from in-game chat, and I always thought to myself "How do people keep getting scammed?" "Why are people scamming?" etc. It eventually got to a point where I started to get frustrated with the community going downhill because of these certain people ruining the gaming experience for others and even those not involved with these situations.
Come to find out, all of these scams were being done through the buying and selling of in-game items, and to be truthfully honest, I consider myself a very good person. I try to help anyone and every person that I possibly could, and I cared a lot for the game, so I decided to venture out and get involved in "The Blackmarket."
My goal was to try and end the scamming as much as possible, being that this site was being used by 95% of these users to find people selling/buying items or currency, so over the past almost 2 years now, I have dealt with almost 500+ different transactions (lots of re-occurring clients) trying to create a positive buying or selling experience for anyone who gets involved as well. The biggest wall that I had to deal with, was staying anonymous to the furthest extent as I could. Being that the community is very small now compared to what it used to be, there are many who are spiteful and will try to get anyone banned if anyone is found. Having never done anything like this before, and basically paving my own path the whole way through, it has been a long, fantastic journey.
The amount of gratitude that I have received from everyone over the years and being told how much they appreciated the trust that I uphold for anyone who I dealt with for this game, simply keeps me going along and quite frankly makes me smile knowing that I have made a large impact for a game I deeply care about.
