"Starting today," opened up Bluehold on the PUBG Steam page, "we're going to temporarily turn off access to "personal trades" for all PUBG items."Some context: Normally, players can trade items using either the "Market trade" or "Personal trade" features. "Market trade" lets you sell items through the Steam market system. "Personal trade’" is supposed to allow friends to trade items without any costs attached."
"Recently," they added "we’ve seen a few cases of players using the personal trade function to sell items using third party sites. This is essentially an abuse of the system. To prevent this, we're temporarily turning off personal trades while we search for a better solution. Once we figure out a way to prevent abuse, the restriction will be lifted."
It's a shame that this continues to be an issue, but it's in no way a new one. The exploit of gaming markets is by no means anything new in the online gaming world, though it does continue to be a problem and eventually ends up affecting all players. No word on when the feature will be turned back on, but we're hoping that they can find a way to simmer down the amount of players taking advantage of the system.
In other PUBG news, did you see that the War Mode is making its triumphant return? Here's what you need to know:
"This time around you’ll enlist in one of 10 five-man squads and battle it out on Miramar," opens up the team at PUBG Corp. "As before, you’ll respawn in a plane after every death. The first team to get 200 points wins."
