Cape Codes

[asa]

I believe people should be able to sell them in the same was as private OGs.

maybe mc-market can make a robot middleman that valids the codes and how the transaction goes

I agree. It still makes absolutely no sense.

But so many threads like this were made and mick keeps denying them when people want this. It's autistic.

Just because people want it does not mean its automatically a good idea. If you can come up with a reliable way to validate them, I support it. And I suspect Mick would as well. Unfortunately, that does not seem to happen.

tbh if youve grown enough rep to be on private section
you shouldve spent quite a lot of money and show that you dont have the intencion of scamming
+1 from me

Make a cape code section with similar or lesser requirements to Private OGs or put it in Private OGs?

I agree with this.

For confirmation get them to screenshot the redeem page with your MCM, Discord, etc convo open on the screen. (Just saying)

Ive tried and failed to buy cape codes, they always provide fakes. Let me add my input in. A fake code most likely looks like a real code, right up until you click redeem. It will ask you to login, and all that, but when you click redeem, it says "Invalid Code." There is no surefire way to check if its real or not without redeeming it first.

That doesn't verify anything since you can't see anything until you try to redeem the code..

"try" it doesn't mean you redeem it.. I was DMing a guy on twitter and he was able to send me this.

It isn't the best way to do it, but trusting people, being smart, and knowing that there is always that chance you can get scammed can make the chances like 2%.

If people want this, I don't see why they can't. Just clarify that there is a higher risk of getting scammed.

Do you not understand that doesn't do anything? You can simply enter a random code in the URL and you won't know until you try to redeem it, (I would know because I've been scammed before on a cape code.)

Never knew that.

with limited experience with photoshop it's extremely easy to fake that.

It's impossible for us to handle scam reports on cape codes as we can never tell if a cape was redeemed before or after it was given to a buyer. Even if we made it only reputable people that could sell them, unfortunately reputable people still scam.

I was going to say, people who are reputable and are leaving the minecraft scene could see this as an opportunity to get some quick cash easy before they leave to never return. They could get $150 in their pocket never to be seen again and even when the scam report is created the guy will not care the slightest.

Or you could say you have a 2013 code and easily scam $500. Yeah, it's certainly not something that I think should be implemented into MCM.

I fully understand where you're coming from and I agree with it.

Honestly, if you want cape codes there's plenty of other places you can risk your hard earned money

Interesting,

I feel like the section should be like the investment and loan section where it's at your own risk to buy cape codes?

So what, if someone scams they just get away with it for free? The reason why investments are at your own risk is because there's no way to guarantee that the server (or anything else) would be successful, despite the owners best efforts.

Allowing people to get away with scamming because it's "at your own risk" is stupid and people are going to hate that if it is implemented.
