Looking to start a late bloomer GTA V group

I did get in one then realized I only had 31 gb open, and it wasn't enough so I had to upgrade my HDD.

Everything should be smooth now.

(Not directed towards you Yanks)

Boosted isn't squeaky clean in all of this. He purchased a few HUNDRED codes off the guy that enabled him to make over $15 per share he hosts, yet when lain21us attempted to get rid of the middle man, he is met with resistance. I agree with what Boosted said to him, but he easily could have made lain's transition into this thread smoother in a number of ways, none of which required calling him out.

Then there is the matter of where these codes are coming from. A few HUNDRED codes that yield $2.19? Come on, am I the only one this looks funny to?

Boosted then proceeded to use over 25 of these codes that came from who knows where on a single account, without telling the resells he was doing so. Making money while hosting is one thing, but taking chances with the accounts while not telling those concerned is another.

What's that? Even though it looks funny, the codes are legit? Then why didn't he tell anyone about them before being accosted by lain? Because he couldn't make $15 per share as easily if others knew about it. If he wants to profit from hosting, that's his business, but pretending that anything other than good old fashioned greed motivated his recent actions isn't going to fly.

As for lain, lol, yeah, he did not make a good impression. This is the 'PSN gameshare' thread, not the 'turn your PSN credit into cash' thread.

Tip: Anyone hosting several shares in a short time is profiting off it in some way, I don't care what they say. If they really wish to help their fellow members, they could teach them how to host, you know, teaching a man how to fish and all that.

For those perturbed by the hosts making money and not giving you a discount, ask yourselves this: If you used a different host, would you pay any less? (Hint: In most, if not all cases, it's going to be a no)

I take offence to this. I use to host a lot and I never made a buck off of it. Made some points from using my credit card, but the idea was always community first. I mastered in Economics (after the shit I've been through, you damn right I'm gonna wave this degree around whenever I can) so believe me when I say I see every angle of arbitrage and potential profiteering. Do I take advantage though? No. I truly believe this community can only thrive if we look out for the group as a whole, instead of focusing on individual gain. This is the same community that reamed people for trying to sell a share for a dollar more than it was bought. The idea is that everyone is already getting a good deal, so no one should be making money.

The difference here is that any profits Boosted makes has no effect on any of us. He's taking all the risk with these extremely shady codes, thus he should be reaping the rewards. If they don't work, it would be his problem alone. If Sony banned the accounts, I'm sure he would make it right for the people affected. That's because he has established himself as a trustworthy host.

It's a pain in the ass to host. We've juggled ideas of compensating hosts somehow in the past but that would mean everyone paying a little extra. What he's doing here overcomes that hurdle and still provides him an incentive to continue hosting. I would argue that we don't want anyone and everyone to host. Instead, only the people we trust to stick around for the long run should be the ones hosting. Who do you see being around a year later when there's a problem with the account?

I was actually on lain's side when Boosted made his first post. If people are willing to let him host their groups, then so be it. He has to start somewhere and it only concerned Boosted because it may have affected his hosting popularity. But that attitude... If I remember correctly, when clone and SBO first showed up, meeek was very suspicious of them and said way more aggressive things. They didn't flip out and act like dipshits and insult the entire community. That immediately showed me that lain had no interest in joining the community, and only in making money from the community. There's no place for greed here. Or assholes.

 
Holy hell, I'm away from here a couple days and everything gets crazy!
 

To add to what Usuyami said regarding what you might call "community spirit," I can think of many times where Boosted has offered discounted shares, given away games for free, tried to help people out and so on.  In addition, as several people have mentioned, it actually takes time and effort to host shares, especially in the volume that Boosted does.  There are many, many people in this thread who have benefited from his presence here and I think it's foolish to suggest that he's "taking advantage" because he happened to make a few bucks this time.  Really, he deserves to for how much he's given to this group of people.

 
lol, you guys. The issue is NOT that he is profiting. The issue is he used codes of questionable origin and did not tell the resells he was doing so, and to a lesser extent, butted heads with lain when he tried to do the same thing.

Not seen a dbz show in a few years, is this just subbed at the moment? I'm only hoping it gets a digital release because the naruto games on disc where I live tend to be more expensive than the average game, even for a pre-owned version, so I assume it'll be the same for this.

I watched it when it was released in Japan so it was really just fan sub so far. Maybe I'll enjoy it more when I watch it with the American actors since I started watching the show dub.

 
So im confused about the whole group thing(Phantoms and Resells) How does it work? Isn't it usually 5 people in a group? When as gameshares are usually limited to 2 systems.

I appreciate everything that everyone has said. Some people are on each side of the fence here and that is OK. I stand behind the shares that the codes were used on. I have offered, through pm, a free code ($2.19) to each person that was in the groups that I hosted to make up for what was deemed "too much profit." I have also informed, 1 group so far and more groups coming, that I will no longer be hosting games that I am not involved in.

The people that host a lot know what is involved and the time it takes, those that had me host and are going to start running their own shares will find out what is involved. I will post the groups that need a host later tonight. I will also be more than willing to write a detailed walk through for new hosts to work from. The other option is that people can contact the many other hosts who are willing to help out.

This is the end of the conversation for me.
 
In all honestly since all US PSN accounts can be funded via PayPal, there is really no reason to have an external host, since at least one person in the group should be able to fund the account by collections payments and having some form of payment for themselves on their account.

When an external host is needed, they should only fund the account and never create the email and set up the account(that is part of what a member of the group should do). Funding may be necessary when the group can't fund via PayPal(because of no one having a verified account or they are jot from the country of the PSN store), but the person who creates the email and account(change the password before sending to the funder and after to insure security of the account) should collect payments and then send the total to the person who will fund the account for them.

Just a little info for those who did not know the difference between completely hosting a group and just funding a group.
 
I'll 2 resell slots of the Black Ops 2 Season pass with The Walking Dead Episodes 1-5 available nextt weekend. pm me if you're interested.

EDIT: ^ I hope everyone knows what clone said, good info there. Also, new thread time?

Some more gta stock tips

Invest in debonaire

An assassination mission has you kill the president of the redwood cig company. Redwood stock will fall and Debonaire's will nearly double. I put in 400k and got back just under 800k

Invest in agency insurance. The more you crash into cars the more stock will go up. It's up 6% since last night.

Looking to trade a TLOU resell for a GTA V phantom. I could also do a Dead Space 3 resell and a TLOU resell for a GTA V resell.

Vets only as sgand is the other resell slot.

I did the same thing at the beginning and all I got was a thanks. Maybe had to unlock the stock exchange option to get the shares.

Nope

In my opinion being a member since 2007 and only contributing less than 1 post per year does not deem you trustworthy. Furthermore, you do not have any feedback. I'm not suggesting in anyway you are a nefarious individual. I only wish to allow vetted members into my groups.
