Valve changed the Trove of Terror tags after people spent money. Is that even legal?

When Trove of Terror released, both Arcanas were clearly labelled as giftable, and the Roshan skin/Baby Roshan showed they would become marketable after October 13th.

I'm 100% sure because I was on Discord with friends, sharing screens and talking about those exact tags while opening treasures.

That's the reason I kept buying them. I ended up spending over $300 AUD, and by the time I finally got the Roshans, the marketable tag was gone. The giftable tags on the Arcanas disappeared too.

Had Valve said from the start that these items would be permanently account-locked, I wouldn't have spent that money.

That's what concerns me. I'm Australian, and Australian Consumer Law prohibits misleading representations about what consumers are purchasing. I'm not claiming Valve definitely broke the law, but changing a material condition after people have already spent money based on what was originally advertised seems like something worth looking into.

Did anyone screenshot or record the original tags before Valve changed them? Especially either Arcana showing Giftable, or the Roshans showing the October 13 market/trade cooldown.

Please post them if you did. I know a shit ton of us saw those tags, but now we need actual screenshots.

Edit: If any of you know any english or spanish streamer that was streaming as the updates were rolling out and reviewing the sets in real time please send me their channels, maybe I can get an screenshot of the Roshans label before it got changed. At this point all I want is my money back and valve can rollback all items from the treasure. Thank you so much.

just played 2 games today and both were ruined by smurfs

first game was literally a 5 stack of smurfs vs 5 normal players (guardian/archon). their Mars RANDOMED and still stomped the whole game along with the Dazzle and of course the entire team, the just sat in our fountain base waiting to kill us like it was nothing.

The most annoying part is you call them out on it and they just laugh about it, knowing there are no consequences.

Second game wasn’t a full stack but still had at least 3 smurfs. The Snapfire was the most obvious one — her profile is basically just rampages over and over. when the game started she had like a 34 win prediction streak…

how is that even still allowed?

i don’t mind losing, but these games are just a waste of time. you can tell from minute 5 it’s not even close

valve seriously needs to do something about this. if an account is getting reported for smurfing constantly (lets say mass report for ONLY smurfing in like 3 or 5 out of 20 games) and has like barely any games but insane KDA, just flag it or  Banned straight away is not like they will miss it those accounts have no items, no games, no nothing. 

right now it feels like nothing happens and they just keep ruining low rank games

this is getting out of hand and is so frustrating specially when you only get to play a few games a week mainly on weekends.
