Hello everyone
Since Auction House / Market Place suggestion was rejected due to the server being unstable.
So my idea is a system like this, but without the buying / selling, just the posting and search sales.
I think it would be a great feature to the server. Now with the merge I can find this an appropriate time to implement this. The trade chat now its going wild, it would simplify a lot.
I know that the server is worried about players making friends in-game, this feature doesn't cancel the player interaction, it just makes the market a more friendly and quite place.
Pros:
Trade chat would be relieved
Easy to find what you want to buy
Easy to setup / program
Probability of more people joining the global chat, as they don't need to spam the trade chat anymore
In short, a little upgrade the current trade system.
Cons:
Costs server resources ( what doesn't )
Some people would use both ( Chat and this feature )
The trade chat would be so relieved that the server could seem a little dead
How it works:
You can put anything that is possible to sell post up and wait for a [PM] once you got [PM] you can trade and automatically your post gets removed.
If you didn't complete the region were the Pokemon was from, it doesn't appear or it says the region of the Pokemon and give a player a warn that he can't obtain that Pokemon.
Want to sell part:
So lets imagine a menu that you can put and item or a Pokemon like you can put it in the chat.
You can attribute:
Price
Price Negotiable
Amount (Only for items)
All the other properties of the item or Pokemon like IVs, EVs and so on its on the object that passes on to the menu.
Want to buy part:
Lets see a menu that you can filter your search by :
Pokemon ( level , IVs , EVs , type, gender, ability, shiny ... )
Item
Player
Price range
Negotiable
Amount (Only for items).
When you found your desired sale you can press the player name and it would pop up the private message with the seller.
RULES:
Since this feature costs lots of server resources since many people would make requests to the server for their desired item or Pokemon. So there have to be rules:
1º One player can post more than one sale but within a certain limit
2º There must be a cooldown for search requests so you can't spam ridiculous amount of requests
3º [WTS] Posts must have a time limit once the time passed the post gets automatically removed and the player receives a notification, via [PM], [Mail], whatever means possible and efficient.
4º Once the player doesn't hold the item or Pokemon that he posted to sell anymore the post gets removed automatically.
Its all I can say for now about this suggestion.
If this suggestion gets an validation I would like to know weather is positive or not.
Appreciate you attention,
Best regards.
