Trade Quality of Life Teaser

Regarding the new Trade quality of life teaser : https://youtu.be/eT4z8xJd-3I

I don't like bashing progress/a step in the right direction but man GGG... this is the most bare minimum effort I've ever seen put into a QOL. Was this a task for the unpaid intern?

For starters, why is it not shown by default. Players of all experience levels get scammed but not being on by default almost guarantee's that newer players (more likely to be scammed) will never know about it or use it.

Second, why can't we just get a bar on the side of the trade window that shows all currency numbers they are offering to trade you or a list of them next to "player name's offer"? For example "Definitelynotascammer's offer" 2 divine 15 chaos 1 alchemy.

Or give us an extra step in the accept window that states what you are trading and what they are offering with totaled currency sums.

There is a zero % chance half your team couldn't make an update to trade like this in an hour tops of programming. This is just silly at this point.

I am a very big fan of this new system. Sure, it could be better, though I am very appreciative of this addition, as its a nice QoL & helps to combat scammers.
We recently got the highlight in stash of the item being sold, which is also a very nice QoL to trading.

However, I do see your point. However, some players trade in bulks of different currencies, of which a menu/list on the left, like how a list is shown when you interact with Gwennen/Tujen/Rog/Dannig, could be quite a lot if a lot of different currency is offered, maybe leading to new "scamming" opportunities.


Point being, what is the actual perfect system? I do think this is a great step in the right direction!

Meanwhile, Im here hoping for a more automated system, where if you whisper someone for a trade, a pop up would appear on the traders end to accept or reject the offer. If accepted, the buyer would then get a regular trading screen, while the seller can continue mapping, kinda like trading directly with the sellers stash.
Buyer would be able to see the trade from their Hideout/city and preview the item(s) as we do currently in a regular trade.

Believe it or not I posted the sidebar suggestion just the other day. I think it's kind of crazy that they are giving us ONE quality of life feature a league, when they are without fail received with critical acclaim. Especially since ALL the QoL features they've added are things the community has been asking for for a while.

Unfortunately GGG has all but confirmed they will never do this. They've realized that it's very easy to, with the right market knowledge, "beat" the game entirely without really "playing" it. i.e. sit in hideout trading and crafting until you're rich, then using your insane currency stockpile to buy all the items and levels you need and instantly have a character that can do wave 30 simulacrum and uber bosses with ease. GGG is avoiding making trading too simple or easy because they want traders to be miserable and have to play the game.
