Guild Wars 2

Here is an idea how about Item to Item trading post, so people can trade weapon for a weapon or materials for materials for example I have 50 Fangs but I need 50 claws, I could offer it up on a Item to Item trading post for the 50 claws or any other offers people would give or if you are looking for a certain core you could trade the cores you you don’t need for the cores you need.

Just an idea if anybody wants to add feel free to do so.

But this would evade the money sink on the TP… Unless you take 15% as the listing fee, taken from the current lowest sale offer of the item on ItemToGold side.

Or you could just trade the fangs for money and the money for claws? Seriously? Can you imagine what the trading screen would look like if people could offer a barter transaction? There would be 1,000,000 combinations for each item for things people wanted. Factor in that not all items are equal (even just using “tiny” or “small” items as examples) and you have one messed up system. Just keep it simple. Sell what you have and use that money to buy what you want.

But….I want to sell a hand-crafted poem on the TP for 1G, 5 rare dyes or armor I can use!

Maybe they should just bring back player to player trading? Like in GW1. The mailing system obviously wouldn’t work for that because you could send someone your item and never get one back. Muwhaha.

You could make it work, just make the mail a trade screen. You click a button that says this mail is a trade, place your item in, mail to recipient, they put their item in, mails back to you, you accept and transaction complete.

Sure its a lot of steps and mail but it would be safe, trackable, and allow player to player trading.

Oh, wow. I didn’t know that… Thank you!
