A new idea on the player vs player trade

So what if, once a year, DO allows players to sell items on a separate section aside from the auction they usually have? This event is only for 24 hours. The players can determine how much they want to have their items for sale. So each player can choose how much they sell their lf4s, shields, drone designs etc. So lets say one player wants to sell their lf4 for 25k uri, and a diff player wants to sell it for 250k credits. Each player can sell up to 7 or 10 items in this event. This can be anything from lasers, to upgraded lasers, to modules. Even ammo. 1 time event, 24 hours, what do you guys think?

 

I think it would be a great idea, but BP would think its a dumb idea since they would lose profit.

 

Is a good idea !
sounds good :

 

A good idea but as always , it won't be implemented ( sorry because i am pessimistic )

 

never wil happen but nice idea

 

I mean, if this thread keeps going and gets more likes, I think DO might look at it and consider it. It may not be a 24 hour event, they might reduce the time to maybe 8 hours or so. But I mean hey, why not try it out and get more folks on this thread?

 

It would be better if I blew (poof) you up and I get a pick of your litter

 

lmao, try as you may my friend, I am sure folks will pay good money for your ship parts when i blow you up lmao

 

A one time event? How about no. A moderately rare form of this, how about yes.

 

thanks negative nancy, but the truth is, they wont make this a thing where its too frequent, so why not atleast a 1 time event? And once a year is rare actually. Its an event that you dont get notified about, which means you will have to log in everyday and look at the mainpage

 

I really like this idea so +1 from me. Rather than 1 time maybe make it once a year but still completely random. To make it a little cleaner have it organized to sections such as weapons/generators/ammo etc. Also maybe make it so your only able to buy a max of say 5 items so people dont just hog up all the lf4/hercs they can get their hands on.

 

Obvious bully hating on my opinion, moderately rare, not stupidly rare. I don't think you even noticed that I agreed with this idea and I do like it but once a year is terrible .

 

im not bullying, i just wanna tease you cuz you make great points lmao.

 

This could work but wont be implemented, and will get abused (seen it happen in another game) person either gives money/item, other player does not reciprocate and toddles off with your money/lasers and fluffy dice.

Alot of fake accounts will be generated and may offer scumbags the opportunity they are believe me, waiting for.

 

Im not sure what you are saying exactly. What reciprocation are you speaking of? Its just purchasing the items that the othe player is selling via uridium or credits, depending on the seller and the amount of items that can be sold is capped. The truth is, anything DO does will be abused at some point ya know.

 

The ship is lying there destroyed...I don't see why I can't 'recycle.' If I poof you can take my rocks and stuff

 

Im reffering to reciprocation between players, yes i know alot of things will be open to abuse as there are horrible human beings that will expose and exploit any advantage against other players ( they are weak minded people btw )

In the online world of gaming you will come across the most cowardly players and ive done so for many years, so the concept of pond scum abusing bugs/advatages isnt news to me, but things like this will get abused and you saw it here 1st, heres how its goes:

Scammer: Hi how are you? Want to trade?
Legit player: Sure what you want/got
Scammer: LF4's give me uridium 10.000 per laser
Legit player: Ok let me see laser
Scammer: I have no time if you want LF4 do trade
Legit player: heres 10.000 now give me lf4

Legit player: hello?

Dont believe this then ill post a pic of abuse reports from another forum that shows scumbags ripping off legit players.

 

I'm sure something like that could be fixed, say the trade doesn't occur unless both items are put forth and accounted for.

 

I think whats being lost here is this, Just like the auction page, a player will place their lf4, their price is 25k uri, similar to the shopping section, its a set price, its up to the player to click on it and pay 25k uri, there is no negotiation, its the flat price you place. Now, if you are purchasing, you can keep scrolling to see if someone sells the item at a cheaper price or for credits. So here is how it works

A small tab shows up on the backpage that says P2P Trade, on that page you can either type in a specific players name from your server to see if they are selling any items, or you can type in an item that you are looking for to see if it is on trade. So if you type in my name, I may be selling 4lf4s and maybe 2 shield gens, Im pricing each lf4 at 30k uri, if you want it, you have to click on the buy option under the item, you purchase it via uri if thats how I want to sell it, or credits, just like if you were shop purchasing items. There is no "
hey can i buy it from you, I have such and such uri" and I say yes and then i take your money. It doesnt work that way,. the item is no longer mine to own when I place it on the p2p trade. Only if no one buys my item, will it be returned to me. See, what you are thinking is that there is an auction ,and i made the mistake of comparing it to that, imeant to compare it to shop. If you dont have the uri, you cant purchase the item. Does that make more sensE?

 

I see what you are saying, im just covering all bases
