Integrate Merchant-Tabs with the In-Game Market Panel

Hi,

I would like to suggest giving additional buttons to the in-game "Market Panel" and the trade-website.

Currently it only allows players to "Visit Hideout" or "Ignore Player" for async trade.


My suggestion is to add a "Visit Merchant" Button to the trade-website and in-game panel, that only shows the sellers Merchant-Tabs, without loading into their hideout.
This would smoothen the trade-experience and prevent some routing-issues with hideouts outside a players region.
Instead of the buyer connecting to the sellers hideout, the merchant would effectively move to the buyer, overall preventing situations where players end up in a hideout that crashes their game, having a particulary "spammy" build be able to crash a sellers hideout when it joins, or straight up not being able to connect due to routing issues.


I got the idea because I am currently having routing issues and it is nearly impossible to buy items. Shout out to cloudflare.
This is my threat under bug-reports:

Additionally a "Whisper" button could also be integrated into the Market-Panel and Trade-Website, while allowing players to specify "Exact Price" and "Negotiable Price" - with "Negotiable Price" enabling a whisper-button that links the item, if the player happens to be online.

Everything could be implemented optionally, like "Allow players to visit Hideout" or "Allow trade negotiation whispers from other players", which would increase/decrease the amount of player interaction.

I am sure that even tujen's haggling-slider could somehow be reused in a UI-solution that "allows offers", where a message with the slider can be sent back and forth, allowing for trade offers like [Currency]X[Amount] with multiple currencies, for example 8 divine + 80 Chaos, and it magically appears in the box after agreeing via chat. (maybe with a "minimum X% of current price"-function on the sellers-end to prevent spam offers)

Jokes aside, have a nice day! :)
