Now you can make a trade offer for 100 gold which would last for 7 days and then expire no matter what.
What I suggest is:
- Making an offer for 100 gold which then requires another 100 gold every week and will only expire when you don't have the gold.
OR
- Making the "redo offers" button that would refresh the offers duration to initial, with the cost of 100*[amount of offers].
Sometimes when you want to trade your loom for other loom, it takes more than 1 week, and redoing the offers takes time which could be saved by making any of the above.
Thanks.

Would be very helpful

Thought about suggesting this back when I was trading a lot. Never did it because lazy, but even if I don't really trade anymore, I do support the idea! :)

Its good that offers expire, it means you have to put some effort into a trade rather than just putting up lots of bait trades to take advantage of people. The market is already dominated by less genuine traders, this might make it a bit worse

just putting up lots of bait trades to take advantage of people
How is that? :|

People with a lot of looms aren't trading for stuff they need, they just shuffle items around with low ball offers or item + gold. The guys with lots of looms take advantage of those with only a few or none
If it were up to me we would just have a bartering economy, with +3's being traded straight for other +3's without gold included. You trade for stuff you want rather than to rip people off

But you do realize some +3 looms are worth more than other +3 looms?
Bad offers are better than no offers, you can't blame traders for making such "low ball" offers since the alternative would be to waste even more gold by looming the item you want instead of just buying it for cheaper price. If there were some more people trading and giving them some competition, their trades wouldn't get accepted.
I really don't see a point behind your statement.

OP: +1, I don't know why it's not in there by now
I support players being able to trade whatever they have for whatever they want. I feel that if someone is forced into only trading looms for looms, much of his/her purchasing power is taken out of the equation. I sold my first LP for money because grinding looms is faster for me than grinding money (I also sold it cheaply so I could make someone happier that they were getting a deal). If the market was restricted, we wouldn't be able to use gold except for buying every single item from the shop.
I know why you'd want a 'fair' and 'even' trading system, but a free(r) trading system is what's fair. Discerning what are good trades and bad trades for you is where the work is, so make sure you pay attention and don't get screwed :)
Note: One thing I do not like is how you are able to list the same item in multiple trades; trading gets pretty sketchy
