(map) trading improvements
|
i want to collect ideas how to improve the map trading experience of players without trivialising endgame access.
also, the process of manually exchanging goods to slow down trading is to be kept.
how do i currently approach buying maps
on average, i spend around 2 min to buy a specific map i need cause the game spawned a master there. the more expensive the map, the faster the process of purchasing it. when contacting the person, i copy the offer from the trade website into the game's console and cut everything off except the character name and manually type a /whois before the name to see where the person plays. if the player is in labyrinth or nexus, i just take the next offer. if the player is willing to sell me the map i want, i usually ask for more maps of the same tier i still miss or run low on.
how do i currently approach selling maps
at the buy request i invite the person and wait until the player joined the party. potential problems arise when i'm under presure of time, like running a delve or being in the middle of a fight. difficult to invite or respond to show general interest of selling something. it's also difficult if i'm in a map where i don't want others to jump in and lot my maps, i got people who asked for a trade just to be able to jump into my maps. normally i'm cool about it but somebody looting my perandus manor would piss me off. 1) make it easier to lookup a potential seller's playing location before contacting them. putting that task on the seller by having them to enable /dnd doesn't work. 2) make it easier for sellers to signal they're willing to sell but just need X minutes/seconds to finish something. 3) have some means to prevent party invites to jump into your map portals without plastering your nicely decorated hideout with elreon's bookshelves. 4) make it easier for players to share maps by having a separate party board just for running maps. the map opener should be able to state additional conditions for the map party beside setting the party mode. 5) have some separate channel to manage incoming trade trade requests with some basic functionality like perma listing requests until you manually remove them. ban mercury trade from the list of allowed tools i may add more improvements if good ones get suggested here or i got better ideas age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
