[Sept 18] Player-player Trading

"

this is a really cool idea.

when you want to trade with someone

1. right click their names, invite to trade party.
2. other person agrees.
3. both get teleported to an instance where there is a sqaure cage divided into 2 rectangles.
4. each player dumps the trade goods on the ground.
5. each player then moves their char to the other side of the rectangle where there are 2 switches.
6. upon passing an threshold, a wall appears which prevents the player from going back to the place where they dropped their items.
7. there are two switches, one to agree, one to reset.
8. agree -> players teleport to the other side where goods are, and there's a switch to click to leave instance.
9. reset switch -> this is the time to check over the trade, if bad, hit reset and wall goes down. hitting the reset switch also resets any choices other player made.
10. disconnects will cause lots of problems of having items dissappearing tho. but would be better than current system imo.

that's exactly what i was thinking about! Thx for helping me expressing my guesses ^^
But the switch shouldn't be too much near the items, else it would incur missclicks, which teleport back to village and without items.

Actually what I would find nice is a "reverse"-Auction House.

The basic problem with an auction house is that you see the possible Items you could wear, which will make everything you drop look bad.

So the better idea is to let people post the Items they wear and what improvements they want.

So if you find a nice sword you just look for people that search for a sword to upgrade theirs. To improve things you could also add the mods you would like on your sword, which would make searching more effective.

So the only thing you see in the AH are things that people actually have, so the main part of the AH consists of average items, since that are the pieces of equipment you want to improve. In a normal AH you will only see the items worth selling, but if you reverse it, you will most likely find a lot of items that nobody wants to sell and maybe you feel a bit lucky if you are able to provide an upgrade to someone else, since you actually notice that their luck isn't better than yours.
