I remember when people were selling Dota2 invites, the price was way too high for me but then again I didn't really have interest in it.

Well, I got invited somehow and when a guy I worked with heard, he demanded my Steam credentials.

Why? Because he wanted to play.

I told him no, that's not happening. So he tried to guilt me, be a bro!

No, because that means I will be locked out of my games. Whenever you go online and play I will get kicked out of Steam and unable to play my games.

So? he says, do me a solid!

Told him to stick it. I did not trust him, he used to tell me stories of pretending to be a girl in games for free stuff. He pretended to be a girl in WoW and so many guys in his guild would give him free stuff and boost him through dungeons.

But yeah, scalpers suck. But I also don't understand wanting to get into a beta that badly that you'd pay that much for it. I guess some people are loaded and that amount is nothing to them.

Imagine paying hundreds for beta-invite, to scalpers, and then get banned because account trading is pretty much always against TOS.

We should bring back scalping in its original sense, and subject it to modern day scalpers.
