Ingame Trading
Trading isn’t in the game so that trades are forces through the trading post – making it anonymous and forcing a tax to help stop inflation. We can still mail items to friends, so it’s not like we can’t be helpful or give gifts.
While I miss being able to trade normally, the current system is best in the long term. I’ve seen games destroyed by inflation, I don’t want to see it happen here too.
ANET deliberately chose to not include a trade window. That means they think that the disadvantages that come with it outweigh the advantages. If you want them to add one, or something with a similar effect (eg Cash On Delivery mail) then you will need to convince ANET to change their mind. This will take two steps:
1 – Find out what the disadvantages ANET sees are. This information is in some of the other threads asking for a trade window/COD mail.
2 – Convince ANET that the advantages you see are greater than those disadvantages.
If you aren’t willing to do the work required for step one, forget about ever getting step 2.
If ANET does add a trade window, I can’t see myself using it. So this is all the help you’ll be getting from me.
