Guild Wars 2

It would be nice to have a COD or Trade option available.

Not everyone wants to spend 4 silver to WP back to Lions Arch just to run to the TP real quick.

For example, dungeon runs, someone doesn’t bring omnomberry bars or Potions. (total of 5 silver)… not much but this is just one example. So instead of being able to start the dungeon… they have to WP back just to buy some.

OR in my case (where I just lost 89 gold and ANET refuses to refund it)… someone offers to sell their lodestones or T6 mats to save people money so they don’t have to pay the TP tax and the buyer gets them 20% cheaper.

However… The guy took my money, blocked me, and ran away.

Where this is clearly scamming… I reported him (added him to my friends list) and sent a support ticket.

I still see him online everyday plus ANET refused to take the money or even return my money.

Thus, TRADE OR COD PLEASE

I have to agree. I have also noticed in situations where we are getting ready to get into a pretty big fight in a dungeon and one of the guildies asks if anyone needs some food. Everyone says yes please and he can only send 2 mail before he is suppressed for excessive messaging and has to wait like 5 min to be able to send the next 2. I get why the mail system is restricted like it is, to cut down on the possibility of spam mails. However it has always confused me why there is no system to trade things between people.

I guess they are trying to FORCE you into using the TP? But the TP is really a money sink. Maybe thats why.

But yes i do believe a secure form of transaction between players would be great.

Im sorry to hear about your thing with the guy that scammed you That wouldnt have happened if you had been able to do a safe transaction all in one and not just thier word that obviously meant nothing.

I agree with this!

Arenanet have no current intention (as far as players are aware) of creating a trade system. [src]

If you got scammed using mail to trade, that is your fault. Arenanet HAS stated that by bypassing the trading post tax, you are putting your items/gold at risk. They WILL NOT refund items mailed for a trade.

If you can’t manage to comprehend that, there’s a simpler way of thinking about it.
The trading post tax is you paying for security.

You traded via mail knowing full well that you could be scammed. You took a risk and you lost, end of story. Hopefully, youll know better next time not to trust someone in that circumstance again.

The TP IS the secure means of transaction between players. Its YOUR choice to use it or not. You can always sell the item to an NPC merch if the TP is too much trouble. The TP gives you a better return for valuable or in demand items and, in most cases, pays for the commission.

The reason there is no direct trade in this game is because in GW1, people would stand around in Kamadan spamming WTB/WTS all day long. They wanted to do away with that in this game.

Ill gladly pay the commission if it means I can just put the item or bid on the TP and I can go play the game instead of sitting in town all day trying to find a buyer or seller for what I want to sell/buy.

Theres a better way to end the WTB and WTS spam, make a channel for Trade/Sale/Market

this topic and thread are just simply IQ deprived
you got scammed because you didn’t use the TP which is game wide btw !
you want a player to player trade option, so you can end up paying more money to some scammer !

OMFG, the TP in gw2 is the best auction house I’ve seen in any game ever !
except for eve of course !

learn your lesson, just port and get your food from the TP, if you’re dungeon running 3s for the teleport is nothing at all.

Seriously, complaining about one of the best systems in the game is stupid to say the least !

that said
I would pay an extra 2-5% fee so that my BLT goods are delivered to my location

What game with direct trading and market/trade channels actually has WTB spam contained in the proper channels? None. Then most people turn off those channels because they’re annoying unless you’re actually looking for something to buy. Then the WTS spammers realize most people have trade turned off and switch to spamming local, global, and/or area chats.

GW2 solves most spam, which is usually mostly trade spam. Adding a trade system would essentially break a system that’s working perfectly.
