Offline trade? When?

I only played ~500 hours before quitting.
This topic is one of like five reasons why I quit

interview with Zizaran and the devs 11 months ago, its time stamped around the time they speak about it
instant buy-out

Buying an item;

1. I see an item I want to buy. I message the person and get no reply.
2. The seller is there but needs time to get back to me.
3. Price fixers will list an item and never sell it, to artificially control the market.
4. I waste so much time when it's not needed.
5. I then have to go to their hideout, and sit through loading screens
6. I cannot buy items from OFFLINE users.
7. The item comes down and then is listed for a higher price.
8. The user replies only to ask for more money, he just wanted more peoples interest

With more time, I'm sure I can think of a couple more examples.

Selling an item;

1. I have to stop what I'm doing to go trade.
2. I have to wait for that person to join my hideout and trade.
3. After selling, someones gotta break the party.
4. More unneeded loading screens to complete transaction
5. Sometimes that whisperers msg doesn't link the item, so I dont get that purple border and have to manually find that item. ( btw, that purple border when it works is awesome)
6. Sometimes that's -1 portal, or delayed sales, which you may lose the buyer

again, this list can go on and on.

now think of how cool it'd be going to bed with listed items. Then, waking up to sold items, money, get to go shopping, instantly buying the item for the listed price and not deal with the headache.

I'd love to see a poll of 100,000 player choosing A or B on this topic, I've got a feeling it would be a massive one-sided result.

I'm glad you linked this because it's extremely encouraging. It seems like they want to implement instant buy-out trading, they're just being careful with their approach as to not cause a massive rift in the value of certain items. I can understand Jonathan's perspective on this, he words it in such a way that is pretty easy to understand. Hopefully it's something that is implemented soon because I'm getting really sick of the fake listings on the trading site.

+1

I think an offline buyout for items with exact pricing could be good.

Possibly a special tab? Maybe exclude currencies?

e: Would incentivize using asking price and exact price.
