Remove tradelock or reduce it

[Recuba]

Hello!, as i know the tradelock was for hijacked accounts, or scammed items, and that things. Now as i Valve isn't redoing the trades for scammed iterms or hacked accounts, so... what's the point of tradelock?

[Cathulhu]

Considering the massive amounts of "my account got stolen" threads that still persist show that accounts still need the protection so the account owner can lock or recover the account before the cooldown expires.

I mean the tradelock, not the lock after password change or email change or steam guard remove.

If someone stole your account and stole your skins Steam will not recover your skins when the tradelock was suposed to help the people wjo lose the skins, if you dont have the expnsivest inventory noone will help you, so, the tradelock is useless

Valve won't remove the trade lock.

For someone to get on your account you had to give them all the details.

Account name, password and the KEY to the door the Steam Guard Mobile code.

Okay, but that is not the point of how the people enter to your account, the point is what's the purpose of the tradelock

Protecting an account in case it gets compromised one way or another.

Protecting from what? From scammers?, from items from hacked accounts?, Valve isn't returning the items from that things.

Trade locks give users who have been compromised time to recover their accounts before items are traded away

It also discourages bad actors from trying, as the items cannot be traded inmediately.

If you mean the trading after a market purchase it prevents micro arbitrage of items. As well as preventing things like glitches in trading or in the economy from being exploited by hijacking users to steal items or mass buy items off the market as well

To prevent glitches i think it isn't, but if it's that, it can be an hour or one day, but not 7 days.
And also Valve isn't returning the items when the items were stolen or hacked, etc. so that also is not the point of tradelock

The tradelock is there because if someone gets a hold of a persons account he can't instantly trade away all of the items.

The real owner of the account now has 7 days to contact Steam support to get it back.

It's there to minimize the risk of items being traded away.
