    I think this would be a really good idea..implementing a mail system where you can not only send a msg to a person, but also items ( with an option to sell to same person). ..And Also an Auction Npc..where one could put unique and other unused items up for sale , where others can purchase. ( as stated above AND be able to send items for free to others or include fee). Maybe have an option to do 1/2 Andermat 1/2 coin or only coin sale, or only Andermat sale..either way I think a mail system and Auction would be veryy cool!!!

    And haven't you heard? Auctions could be seriously abused. I've gone into detail about it dozens of times... Do you wish me to do it again?

    Not allowing trade within the game between players prevents many things. One is the ability to scam items off of someone. Also, bot usage would explode with a market. I'm sure there are a lot more cons of allowing trade amongst players, but those are the two I can think of...

    Hi guys,

    This idea isn't new and yes there is a way to create a trading system without a loophole/exploit.

    One person should give an idea and all the others should try to find the loophole/exploit, until you find a flawless one.

    But the real problem is BP, members from this forum and all the other forum have already given thousands of ideas to improve this game and how many of those ideas has BP implemented???...

    ...to my knowledge none (except nerfing DK in 2012)
    All you need is to look at all the updates they have done so far and you get your answer.

    I'm sure some of u heard why EDIT stopped their auction house
    one of the reason was players lack of desire to farm and many others
    personally i think that idea itself is good but implemented permanently ....
    i would not be so sure about this .

    having a trading system lets people do what hey need rather what is needed of them.

    say, as a lvl 45 player i enjoy farming hod/hard bosses but to get desired gear setup i am in need of full Atlantis set. now m unwillingly forced to farm on lower lvl maps which i dont like or i need to make do with gears which is not suitable to my game style. (2+ years in this game i am yet to get full gears which are suitable to my game play. if this is not frustrating enough then god knows what is)

    will it be not wise if i could trade it from some one who got extra gear? will it not save me 5-6 months of frustration for not getting what i want and not doing wanted to do??

    trading not only saves time for players but it also lets them do things which they enjoy most.

    Ok!!! I know that this will be a waste of time posting an idea, because BP will never go for it, they prefer to see us miserable and depressed, don't know why:(!!!

    So, my idea goes like this...

    Create a new NPC (Gnob is a good candidate for this job:D), click on him and he will ask you "Hi there stranger, do you want to...", option 1 - sell, option 2 - buy...a menu will open with 4 tabs...

    Tab 1 - unique items (buying costs 1000 AM)
    Tab 2 - legendary items (buying costs 500 AM)
    Tab 3 - extraordinary items (buying costs 100 AM)
    Tab 4 - magic items (buying costs 10 AM)

    Now lets say that you want to sell a unique item, the "Amulet of Insight", it's worth...82,80 silver and 2940 glyphs.

    What would you get from selling this item...
    You would get 100% of its value + 10% of that value...meaning you will get 91,08 silver and 3234 glyphs.

    The player that wants to buy the "Amulet of Insight", would need 91,08 silver and 3234 glyphs + a small amount of andermants (AM go directly to Gnob's pocket and not to the player that sells the item).

    All the items have to be identified, so the buyer knows exactly what he gets.

    This isn't a trade/auction system, it's a buy/sell system, meaning when you sell a item, it will go to the first one interested in it (and not to your friends).

    The person who sells items can only remove an item from the selling list after 5 days (this way a person can't add/remove an item and wait for his friends to be online).

    In my opinion this system is fair to both sides, buyer/seller and profitable for BP, because the buyers need AM+glyphs to purchase those so desired items.

    Now it's up to you guys to find the loophole/exploit for this idea to fail and pass on to the next one.:p

    We went over and over the same idea time and time again. And after the same conclusion you proceeded with the off topic. Thread closed.
