I wrote a post about a trading system yesterday. Somewhat different than yours, but it is probably better to have one big thread about suggestions for a trading system than multiple small ones. I will post my suggestions here again. See what you think about it.
"Forgive me if someone else had this idea before me. There are already so much threads. It was hard to find if someone posted this before me…
I think the main concern for a trading system is the fear for an online black market where people are buying weapons/armor with actual money. So wouldn’t it make sense to make a trading system where you can only buy/sell anonymously?
I got my first exotic last week from an engram from Xur. Hoping to get Mask of the third man, Knucklehead radar or Achlyophage symbiote for my hunter, I got Skull of Dire Ahamkara for a warlock. Since you have to start from scratch with reputation gains, I will never make a titan or warlock character.
So, I can now dismantle it, which feels awkward since Skull of Dire Ahamkara is probably a wanted item for the warlock. I see Xur never sold this item, so I would like to make some warlock happy by trading it for Achlyophage symbiote, lucky raspberry or some strange coins (maybe some warlock even has a few Suros Regime’s in his vault which he/she doesn’t mind trading for my Skull of Dire Ahamkara :-) ).
Anyway, within the context of the game it makes complete sense that my hunter character wants to make fellow guardians as strong as possible, since they all have to protect the solar system from evil aliens.
What if the allied forces were fighting the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]’s in world war II the way guardians are fighting the fallen/hive/vex/cabal? I would now probably live in [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] Germany. :-(
Soldier 1: I see you have two of those powerful guns. I only have a pistol. Do you mind giving me one of those guns since you can’t use both?
Soldier 2: Well sure. But I see you have two of the same warm coats. Since winter is coming and my jacket is not so warm, maybe you can give me one of your coats?
Soldier 1: Okay, I will give you one of my coats for one of your guns.
Soldier 2: Deal! Here we go.
Soldier 1: Aaargh! There is some force preventing me from giving you this coat!
Soldier 2: I feel the same force! I can’t give you my second gun!
Soldier 1: Oh well, seems like I’m going to die from a lack of good weapons to defend myself.
Soldier 2: Tough luck man. But I’m probably going to freeze to death.
Soldier 1: Ok see ya!
Soldier 2: Cheers man!
Yada yada. You catch my drift.
So a trading system where you can only buy/sell anonymously. I would throw in my Skull of Dire Ahamkara. In return I would like Lucky Raspberry, 13 strange coins or preferably a Suros Regime. Other guardians can offer one of these items/coins in return. After one or two days I will see what’s the best offer and push the trade button. :-) Both guardians are happier and stronger. Yeey! Since you don’t know who the person is you are buying selling from it’s a take it or leave it."
