Search for wishlist creatures

blub • 1 February 2014 at 6:34 AM

I am not sure if this was already a suggestion or not (maybe it's already possible? I don't know).

We all have wishlists, yet wouldn't it be easier for traders/trading if you could also search for who's looking for what (a little like trade centre yet the other way around). This way people can search for wishlists if they have a creature they want to trade, and offer it for a creature(s) they want.

@blub
That would be awesome
It would improve trading since you can see who wants your creature without the need for them to find you

@blub I had been thinking about this too, and I think that is a really great idea 😋 I was actually gonna suggest this myself, but you beat me to it xD

@blub
Yes, we definitely need this. It will also help long-sunken trades get more noticed and offered on, as people who have creatures that match it's demands will be able to see them when they're looking to trade. Searching for specific creatures one by one just to see if somebody wants one of the creatures you happen to have is very tedious sometimes!

Ian better see this.

@mastergemma
Indeed 😃

@pjbuzzy
sorry 😊 as long as people see it, right??

@liza200aa
It's a reason why I think this could help. Not only can it make trades easier (less, what do you want/how much asking), but idd older trades will get back on the surface, not the time but the wishlist makes a trade pop up 😊

Thank you guys!
Ping some people! 😃 Since I am not really sure who I know really needs to see this :S

For some reason I thought this was such a handy thing, I am surprised it didn't come along when the wishlists came up

sorry for my english, it can be bad sometimes ☹️ 😋

@blub
I know. Once your trade gets out of the recent 15, it's pretty much dead, with nobody offering on it, or even seeing it. And some people keep closing their trade lots as soon as they get out of the '15 and recreating/reposting them over and over again just to keep them in there, bumping down other user's lots extra fast. In fact, getting little to no offers is one of my biggest problems with the trade center. This will help, (but not completely,) fix that.

@liza200aa
There should be a rule about that... that seems really unfair
You shouldn't be able to make (for example) more than 4 trades every hour or day

Because then it can fall under the rule of making the lot up only to get views

@mastergemma
Yes, you're right, it should become against the rules. It especially annoys me to see my newly-created lot get suddenly bumped down by other trade lots that were only spaces below it earlier.

@blub Great idea! It'll make trading a lot more convenient~

@mastergemma @liza200aa

I wouldn't like a rule that limited how many trades I could make per day or hour, because I tend to make several TNT lots at once, then proceed to carry through with my transfer over the course of the next hour.

@blub

Do you mean that the TC should add a feature where you could select up to 5 creatures you're searching for per lot?

@liza200aa @mastergemma
It IS against the rules to spam the trade center by continually reposting the same lot multiple times a day. If you see this happen please report it so we can address the problem.

@wolphire
It could be in the TC, but anywhere else is fine as well 😊
It doesn't have anything to do with lots, it's about making a feature that makes you able to look for wishlists.

For example: if you have a certain creature you want to put up for trade, instead of making a lot and hoping someone would bump upon it offers, you can look for who has that creature in their wishlist, so you already know they want that creature, making trades more easy


Now you have the option of looking for an offer with a creature you're looking for, the idea is to also be able to look up who is looking for a certain creature.


Besides the trading getting more fluent (I think at least that would/could happen), it would make it more easy for people to get their wishlist creatures.
