Another simple idea (and less coding required compared to my last one maybe?):


Add a new feature that allows you to send a private trade request that does not appear on the "Trades" section. Users of this feature can in this way make safer trades with people instead of risking someone to "snag" their trade agreement meant for someone else.

I know you devs like goldsinks, so my suggestion is to charge 200 gold for every trade request, as opposed to the 100 gold listing fee on the marketplace. This is in my humble opinion very reasonable, and maybe also sensible.

Here's the post that inspired the idea (had this idea at one point before but I suppose it eluded me):

I had the shields up too, with my shield + 420 gold for your shield; Nord_Backlash snagged it.

I think this suggestion should be high priority since it makes the whole social dynamism in a market perspective a lot more important, and people communicating with each other on the forums instead of just checking out what the prices are on the marketplace.

However, the marketplace trades will of course have their own prices, so people benefitting from this feature will most likely be the ones who are patient and would rather buy at a lower price than on the marketplace. In other words, people selling through this feature will have to expect a smaller amount than what is commonly agreed on.



Second suggestion:

You added graphs for character progress, it is now safe to assume that more graphs for other areas can also be expected.

Here's a short list of what I think would be practical to have:

-Average Gold Requested graph for all individual heirlooms
-Average Gold Offered graph for all individual heirlooms
-Total Amount of Gold Circulating graph for the current month, with records of previous months
-Heirloom Points Generated per day/month graph
-Trades Per Day


I did not want to suggest an average trade price graph since I think it would be more dynamic for traders to check both the Average Gold Requested and Average Gold Offeres and from there make their own request, a meeting-in-the-middle sort.

Hope you want to see this added as much as me. :)

I have always wondered why we didn't have the option to private trade, so I say fuck yes!

Personally I wouldn't use the graphs much.

also, 1 is good or bad in the vote?

You should not say: On a scale of 1-5 without specifying what means what man.

I would say it's pretty common knowledge that 5 is good and 1 is bad... What is best a 1 star hotel or a 5 star hotel?
Maybe I'm wrong...

If i get a 5 in school its almost enough. If i get a 1 i failed so fcking hard... depends on the system you use. (in holland its: 1=fail, 10 = brilliant)

But ye, common use for rating things is the 5 point thingy. Movies, 1-5 stars, music the same.

But great idea bjord!

In my country you go for 1 as the best in school, so anything with those numbers is confusing. And what happened to the old fashioned typing out the options, like:

How much you would like this?
a ) meh, dont care
b ) could be useful
c ) not bad
d ) sounds like fun
e ) GIMME GIMME GIMME

You are putting way too much energy into discussing the poll options instead of the content of the thread. :wink:
