In-game trading system?!!!!

I already know it will not work - seen it in other games. Most of the things Pashid already explained why. Ever played World of Warcraft or Eve Online?

The fact that you are even mentioning those games proves that you haven't read or understood my posts at all. Especially Eve online, like wtf. That's like the complete opposite of what i am suggesting.

In Eve online wealthy and bots do manipulate market despite it is friction AH (and yes it is s friction AH ), that prty much what Pashid mentioned and Im giving example to. Anything different from regular AH you suggested is limits per account, so people would have to make multiple accounts (thats what I would do for sure). And they would only limit casual players, not bots.
Your idea is simply bad. Sorry, but thats the truth.

Edit: in Eve online you have limit of offers you can post on ah at once (before you skill up). Now you will tell me it is not related to your idea?

Then tell me this genius, how are the RMT shops that run those bots supposed to make their RMT trades with their customers if there is no way to do private trades between two players but everything has to be done in the form of public auctions hm? I think the RMT customers would be somewhat pissed if they payed RL money for an item only for that item to get snatched by someone else during the auction.

Same way they do right now - post a rare for a mirror for example? Kinda obvious. And ye, this is a bad idea if neither friends or guildies could trade. Your idea is bad.

If part of the idea of introducing an AH is remove the influence of TFT on trading then having ridiculous arbitrary trade limits is counterproductive. No one is going to use the AH if they want to buy all the materials for a crafting project or to super juice a tab full of maps if they can only make 5 trades per day...

And then someone else snatches the item instead of the guy who bought it because it's a public auction. RMT can only work if there is a possibility for private transactions between two players that have never met before. Without that RMT is no longer possible. Are you even trying to follow me here?

As far as party play is concerned it can be set up for items to be freely exchangable between players who were in the instance when it dropped. LE is going for a similar system as far as i know.

I can understand if you don't like my idea, it's opposite to the economy simulation you want so badly but fact remains, it's way better at stopping bots then the current system because it flat out removes the benefit of it (RMT).


@RandalPOE The whole point of my idea is to make trade less important/necessary for gameplay and character progression. So yes, it's not replacing TFT with an AH that does the same thing. It's removing TFT and encourages players to actually play the game instead of the market to get the things they want.

Why would someone snatch a bad rare for a mirror? xD You’re so focused on building narrative based on your vision that you dont even read what I wrote.

and your system would encourage bots and multiaccounts, also 0 trade among friends and guildies is a bad idea.

Edit: If my friend have a late start, in your system, I cant even give him tabula? thats a bad system.

Those kind of auctions would stick out like sore thumbs and if an auction has a duration of let's say 3 days there would be plenty of time for a GGG employee to look them over and ban both parties involved IF they are inclined to do so before the auction finishes and the stuff can be moved to alt accounts. Alternatively they could make a routine that filters out completely disproportionate offers and flags them for someone to check and act upon it.

It's not foolproof but still better than what we have now. There is literally nothing in the current system to even discourage RMT and botting never mind stopping it. Even if my idea isn't perfect, it's still better than that.

No, your idea is a BAD idea. Your system would rather encourage botting and multiaccounts (they buy 4 item, sell them in bulk as last trade to next account, and so on to avoid limits). It wouldnt have any impact on RMT in any way.
I wouldn’t even be able to help friends if they need missing card to finish full set, or tabula if they start fresh, or oils if I do blight. Hands down this is one of the worst systems Ive heared about.

Edit: so what is your explanation/excuse that I cant give a sextant I dont need to my friend that farm it?
