VoidPunch Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 So how the trading was implemented is not how it was promised. If I remember correctly, the devs said they didn't want this game to become a wanna buy wanna sell game or whatever they called it. In order to prevent this they said they would only have like for like. Rare mod for rare mod and what have you. The way they incorporated it is just bad, trading mods of any rarity, and platinum. Now the forums are just spammed with offers to buy and sell mods everywhere. This is exactly what they didn't want but they made it happen anyways...

ForumSmurf Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) people are pretty civil imo. Theres a chat box for it and it only happens in there. If this bothers you avoid chat box. This is only ever an issue where you see people all over town in an mmo saying selling gold for $9.99 per xxx. I sold a max serration for 500 plat and i had to pay 250k credit tax. This eliminates merching because if i use that plat to buy stuff for cheaper and sell it again, i'd be down so much credit its not feasable to merch Edited November 24, 2013 by ForumSmurf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tymerc Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Only thing I hate, and am getting extremely sick of seeing, is people who are easily consumed and manipulated by greed asking for 50-200$+ worth of plat for a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtexas Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 It actually isnt nearly as bad as you think it is. Its a good way for f2p players can make some plat, and people can trade for what they need if they are having bad luck in drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicyjesus Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) yes it kinda did become a buy sell thing, but the thing is that the buy/sell is separated into its own little place so its not overpowering everyone else. I see no real issue honestly. Edited November 24, 2013 by spicyjesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys with plat get suckered into buy high priced mods because they suck. And the f2p players can get rich without spending a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeyCDawg Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 They probably woke up and realized how much money they would make off of plat trading. What we probably need are a separate sub-forum/chat channels. One for "buy/sell", and one for "trading". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its impossible to trade a mod for another one cause its flooded with plat selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerogear5 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 is not that they wont take mods its that most sellers have all mods already so mod for mod doesnt help them. first day i got nearly every mod i ever missed now all i can ask for is keys or trade doubles for plat.

Vunie Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 if plat wasn't involve you would have a harder time to get rare mods cause no one is going to trade you a rare mod for something they already have no one would give away a maxed serration or hornet strike for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpig84 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Because plat has tangible benefits even it seems of pittance to Founders who in fact have too much plat to spend on (3.1k plat here still and I bought nearly all skins, all syadanas except the nekros one and all colors). And plat can genuinely help F2p players. One of the dudes I saw traded his QR thinking and Rage for about 80 plat and the first thing he bought was a scarf... Then a frame slot.

MetalThrust Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) I would have to say there are many pros and cons to the trading system.At the moment I do agree it is nice to give F2P players the ability to gain plat. Though I feel the way they are doing it is a little hectic. I feel the way trading is done could be improved. Maybe people could put up their items for a set price, or put it up for auction. And people could search for certain items they want in some sort of "trading" set up. Instead of players constantly copying and pasting their offers, we should keep things organized. Although, what I don't want to see this game turn into is another "trading" based game. Like TF2 for example.

Instead of players constantly copying and pasting their offers, I think something like this would work better, instead of a trading tab. Though what I don't want to see this game turn into is another "trading" based game. Like TF2 for example. Isn't that the auction house system which effectively killed D3 ?

Etsoree Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 People are greedy. I keep seeing trades wanting a few hundred Platinum for mods, but others are easily obtainable, like unleveled Corrupted or rares for 10 - 30. Only thing I hate, and am getting extremely sick of seeing, is people who are easily consumed and manipulated by greed asking for $50-$200+ worth of plat for a mod. Fixed.

Exit. Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Well DE should remove the void key pack now that you can get the same thing but with better keys for 5 platinum (1 plat each key) instead of 75. So not only is plat trading flawed, but key trading is ALSO flawed. And its likely mod trading is flawed to cuz you can trade any mod Edited November 24, 2013 by Exit.

It's understandable that people ask a whole lot for a maxed uncommon 10 or rare 10 mod which takes lots of cores/credits to max, but yeah, it's crazy how much some people are offering for Primed Chamber, Quick Thinking, Natural Talent, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
