We anticipate that even with this update, third parties will continue

And it's even worse if it just so happens that you recently bought minions and mounts to give away during your free company Halloween party... And now can't.
And can't get a refund on the items either.

This is not the answer.

I'm not sure what your reading comprehension level is...
But 'attempt' in this instance means 'will'.
Accusing me (the OP) of misconstruing... when that's actually -you- twisting? lol
Reading comprehension teaches you to SEE the clue to discern meaning.
Let me help you..

From Lodestone:
We anticipate that even with this update, third parties will continue their attempts to sell fraudulently obtained items at lower prices
by temporarily registering the buyer on their friend list.

So, while you're sitting there whinging at others for believing the OP who 'didn't finish the quote'... maybe YOU should finish the quote also since it actually flips back to my point of the RMT Criminals WILL continue and SE even says HOW they'll do it.

Thanks

Couldn’t care less. If anything Im happy gifts get directly delivered to inboxes now, they will implement something soon to allow mount gifting again as well.
Other ways you can gift mounts to people until then is by buying them a steam card, paypal transfer etc etc. If you don’t trust your friends to use the money to buy the mount then consider who you’re giving gifts to in the first place. And FCs can gift marketboard mounts or whatever. Its not an apocalyptic situation.

Nothing screams a surprise more than giving the person the money so they can buy the surprise themselves.

Thank god we have you with this amazing take.

So you opt to say I didn't read when in reality I thought it was a typo as I've never seen that word before.

Didn't know I'd be crapped on for something I didn't know xD

There's plenty of user fault in this, especially with the people engaging in these transactions thinking they were safe.

I have to agree with this, the RMT bots would have no business without buyers..how anyone could think that this wouldnt come back to bite them ....or someone else.....is beyond me.

If it seems to good to be true....it usually is.

Or you know. The fact that people almost 10 years in STILL don't use OTPs to protect their accounts. An OTP would have literally prevented this from happening but sure let's fault SE for having to implement a system in response to user negligence. At this point anyone who got their account compromised deserves it for the multiple user failures you would have to imploy for that to happen. They should also go a step further and mandate the usage of an OTP on all accounts.
