Trading New Items

[XJCLW]

Basically, you should be able to trade credits, materials, extractors, built items (frames, weapons, etc.), instead of just parts. 

 

   This would allow a player who does not like a weapon they built to trade it off to someone who wants it, but it would be reset to unranked. They would be able to get more of a refund than selling a 100,000+ credit built item + used materials that took hours to farm and only getting 5000 to 7500 credits. It would also allow people to get a weapon that one person may not like, and while trading it, the person giving gets more of a refund, and is helping someone out in the process. Also, some people, when referring friends to play the game, would like to help the new player, and split gained resources with them, even if slightly. I would like to do this with my friend, but I can't due to the current trading system.

 

                 Of course, to balance this, you could make it so you must be rank 3, or have the option to trade what I said should be traded be locked until rank 3-4. There should be a limit on how much you should sell for, aka the amount of platinum it is sold on the market for, or the amount of credits used in building. Trading plat has no limit, though. Also, no trading exclusive alert/other gear.

Credit for this idea goes out to a joint combination of my and TooPro4MexD's brains.

This would help those complaining about exclusives and all that. If they go out of there way to make a mile long post about why exclusives are lame, then by one from somebody for a load of platinum if it matters to you that much.

No, even with restrictions of weapons getting reset to unranked, the trading of fully built weapons and frames (And if it does happen all exclusive items should not be tradable. Such as founders gear, Braton and Lato Vandel and the new Dex furis. Every other event weapon is able to be re-released at another time so they should not be able to be traded as well) is a horrible idea, it ruined Diablo 3 and it will more than likely ruin this game aswell. Also, anything that's buyable in the market for credits (whether its a built item or a blueprint) should not be tradeable.

 

Credits and materials I can see being a fine trade as long as only those 2 things are tradeable with each other. IE: You can only trade for materials if you give materials, or trade for credits if you give materials. Plat trading should stay to mods and prime/hard to get parts. Normal frame parts are up to debate of whether they should be tradeable or not.

We never said anything about exclusives.

Explain how this would ruin the game? You don't have to use it if you don't want to, and "noobs" couldn't get it because of a rank restriction (changeable by DE). It lets people get a more fair refund and help people if they use lower prices. A newer player couldn't be sucked in for paying higher than market price because of the trade amount limit.

Because it would become a pseudo pay2win scenario. Trade chat would be full of things like: "BUY THIS AWESOME WEAPON FOR 1K PLAT+", also there would be no point to play the game because you could just buy end game weapons from people. Hence a pseudo pay2win. Part of this game is searching for and building gear. Even with restrictions it would still end up the same way. Trading weapons and warframes is just a flat out horrible idea.

(1)Trade chat would be full of things like: "BUY THIS AWESOME WEAPON FOR 1K PLAT+",

(2) also there would be no point to play the game because you could just buy end game weapons from people. Hence a pseudo pay2win.

(3)Part of this game is searching for and building gear.

(4)Even with restrictions it would still end up the same way.

(5)Trading weapons and warframes is just a flat out horrible idea.

Your point with the BUY THIS AWESOME WEAPON FOR 1K PLAT+ is specifically one of the restrictions.

2.? You'd still have the rank restriction with it in your inventory, before you can use it.

3. I know, but this would supplement that, so players can make a better refund while helping people, and people who don't want to trade the new stuff don't have to. 

4. I still don't see how.

5. I just edited the post - no exclusive trading. 

 

 I still want a reasonable explanation, no offense intended.

I agree this would ruin the game and thats why you can't trade weapons and such and not a good excuse because you can only sell your weapon for 5k - 10k credits... I made a reply to someones post with a way to solve this problem than trying to add it to tradeables.

Nobody has given a reasonable explanation that isn't already fixed in the original post. Please explain why this would ruin the game?
