Trade Center Idea

karamel • 21 December 2011 at 11:51 AM

Welcome to my Trade Center suggestion! Everyone and anyone is welcome to criticize (no insults please), compliment and improve this suggestion.

There are 2 parts to this. I've made examples using Paint.
1. Putting UFT/UFA/Reserved - There could be a way to mark your trade as this. See the following:
a) Using in a trade: http://i41.tinypic.com/2njwsud.png
b) How it looks: http://i41.tinypic.com/2rmqfsy.png

2. Putting in what you'd like - this is optional, only for UFT trades (see above; when you'd mark the UFT box this option would come up). There can also be a Random Common/Uncommon/Rare/Immortal/STAR creature request for indecisive people. http://i41.tinypic.com/359woqo.png See the following:
a) Using in a trade (only if chosen UFT): http://i40.tinypic.com/6y1wuo.png
b) How it looks: http://i42.tinypic.com/21435zm.png

Please follow the links to get the pictures of what I think would suit it. Give any feedback you think would HELP (not hider). Thank you!

ADDITIONS:
@whitefire + mine's big brainstorming - allow offerers to send messages about the trade (not via clogging wall posts or conversations) http://eggcave.com/forums/topic/11938/0#848160

@Karamel
Really good ideas! Thumbs up! =^D

karamel • 21 December 2011 at 12:02 PM

@miomar Thanks ^^"
I just got this because so many people are being vague with their rare trades and all I want to do is scream at them for a little more info.

So I really want this implemented. .-.

sanibel_18 • 21 December 2011 at 12:03 PM

good idea!;D

miomar • 21 December 2011 at 12:07 PM

@Karamel
Yeah,but the "requested" option can be done in the message bar =^)

karamel • 21 December 2011 at 3:08 PM

@miomar True, I just put it there since most people don't put any message. ^^"

I like it 😊
@karamel
Good Job/Job Well Done

@karamel I think these are great ideas. They'd definitely simplify trading. 😊

Good!

crescentfeather • 26 December 2011 at 7:39 PM

How about the ability to offer only EC on trades? ^^

Deleted • 26 December 2011 at 7:44 PM

Amazing ideas! [; +1

ladybugheart • 26 December 2011 at 11:16 PM

I like this. (: As for the requesting option, there'd probably have to an option to request multiple creatures. In addition, it might be harder for those who don't know what they want to get attention. On the bright side, it would likely be easier to see who is looking for what I have instead of offering it and getting rejected.

karamel • 28 December 2011 at 7:08 AM

@everyonewhopostedhere Thank you for the "support" ^^"
@crescentfeather I was thinking of adding that, along with how much EC you'd like to have...
@ladybugheart Thanks ^^ Yeah, I was wondering who to display that in a trade... ideas?

crescentfeather • 28 December 2011 at 12:11 PM

@karamel A gifting feature would be nice, too. 😋

lawrence5555 • 28 December 2011 at 2:34 PM

@karamel Awesome!

meixiaotian • 28 December 2011 at 2:39 PM

I like it!

suport! XD

lola622f • 28 December 2011 at 2:43 PM

I like it!!!

karamel • 28 December 2011 at 3:24 PM

@5postersaboveme Thank you 😃 All that needs to happen is to get it implemented D;

@crescentfeather I wanted to add all that too, but not sure how to create/display the idea. There could be a "Gifting Center", but I suppose there would be stalkers and people would just claim them (eg. Tine in the Gifting Center = reserved. Person who was not reserved claims it. BAM).
There could be a secret word or a way to hide it, but not sure.

crescentfeather • 28 December 2011 at 4:02 PM

@karamel No, I mean gifting between accounts without use of the trade center x)

karamel • 28 December 2011 at 4:07 PM

@crescentfeather I'm not trying to bug you about how it's not a good idea, but how would it work? 😊

autumn-hines • 28 December 2011 at 4:26 PM

good idea 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

@autumn-hines Thanks ^^
(I did NOT see the new post T_T")

whitefire • 1 January 2013 at 10:20 AM

@Karamel I agree! It's better than my suggestion... But I'd still like it if we could haggle. XD Perhaps for indecisive people there could be an option where you have it set to what you said, but also have it so that it's not auto-accept for a random LE/common/star creature/uncommon creature?

karamel • 1 January 2013 at 10:29 AM

@whitefire This idea is merely to FILTER the options for what can be offered 😋 Creatures can be offered, and they can still be haggled. No auto-accepting or anything.

It's like a normal trade, but filtering through all the offers and only allowing some things to be offered (depending on what options you choose).

😸

whitefire • 1 January 2013 at 10:35 AM

@Karamel Oh! I get it! I like this idea even more now! 😸 And perhaps the offerer could add messages to their offer, as the trade's creator can add messages to their trade? Then they could discuss what they would like to see added/removed without wasting space on walls.

karamel • 1 January 2013 at 10:37 AM

@whitefire Ah, our ideas just keep getting better and better xD I like your addition even more 😋 Totally agree with your suggestion; I hate wasting space on walls to haggle xD And obviously there would be an option for the trade's creator to reply to the offerer's message :]

whitefire • 1 January 2013 at 10:41 AM

@Karamel Yeah, that would be cool too! I've never had wall space wasted for haggling (nobody ever offers on my trades, or at least nothing that I want), but when I have good creatures to trade (if ever) that'll probably stop being the case. That would be really cool too, because when I'm offering on somebody's trade and I'm not sure of rarities I want to tell them that I don't know how much my offer's worth, so please don't be angry if it's not good enough, but there's no way for me to do that without posting on their wall. And that would be one more notification to tick them off.
