Fab will have the ratings, but not the text that shows why a specific rating was given.
Now, if a product had 1000 fake reviews because of a Discord verify or had a few bad reviews because someone was trolling/bashing, there will be no more a way to know.
So now, because a few abused of the system, all the other honest sellers have to suffer. It’s not in my opinion a good start for Fab.
And yes, it’s totally normal that buyers will be discouraged to buy anything. When I buy something I like to read what other people say about the product. Stars alone mean nothing, maybe it’s trolling, maybe it’s a seller abuse, maybe it’s just someone didn’t understand something, etc. Why should this be different for the people buying my products?
PS. The whole Discord verification drama could be completely avoided if the Marketplace had a way for sellers to verify the person that asked for support has really bought that product.
Although I never asked people who asked support for my products for a verification, I hope that the Fab will have a possibility to verify transaction IDs because in the future I want to be sure that the people I offer support to, are not pirates.
