World A New Way To Trade Items

I feel that now, especially after the gavel update, there is no effective way to trade items. Not many people go to the forums because it is very time consuming to sell all your items that way. Also, with the change to item buyers, if you don't identify an item, you get very few emeralds, but identifying is so expensive that you make very little or even lose emeralds. I think that the item buyers and items should be partially reverted to their old state where you could tell what an item was and use it without identifying it. I think the large cost of identification should be optional. But that is a little off from the suggestion I have. I took a lot of inspiration from another game and the system works really well there. They are called traders. Traders allow you to exchange items with people in wynncraft much easier. Here's how it works. When you go to a trader, there are 3 windows which you can use to do several things. I'll explain them one at a time. Every trader leads to the same menu, regardless of world or location in the world.

Firstly, you can put items up for sale. You select the item you want from your inventory and set a price. In order to put an item up for sale you have to pay a fee which is a certain fraction of the price you set. For example and simplicity lets say you want to put up an item for 1000 emeralds. Let's say the fee is 5%. So it would cost you 50 emeralds to put the item up for sale. If someone buys the item (I'll explain later) in a certain time window such as 3 real life days, the trader collects the money (1000 emeralds for example) and saves the emeralds (also will be explained later) for the next time you visit so you can collect them. If the item isn't purchased the trade offer expires and the trader saves your item to give back to you the next time you visit. You don't get the fee back.

Next is the window where you can view your trades and collect items and money. 3 things are shown; items on the market, money collected, and expired items. For items on the market you can view the item, the price you set, and the fee you paid. You have the option of taking down the item early but that obviously ruins your chances of making any money, forgoing the fee you spent to put it up. Next are completed trades, it shows you the item that was successfully sold and the emeralds you can collect. Finally are expired ares where the item was on the market without being purchased for too long. It shows the item ready for you to take back.

Last is the window where you actually browse for items. Items are organized to make it easy to search for them. The first division is general categories such as Armor which would Contain the subcategories [Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots], Weapons which contain the subcategories of [Spears, Bows, Wands, and Daggers], and items which would contain the subcategories [Powders, Junk Items, and Misc Items] You could browse in All Items, select one general category, or select two for very fine searching. ext are other search tools. You can search for an item by Name, Look for items within a certain level range (if applicable), of filter by price. Once you find an item you want, click to purchase if you have enough items in your inventory.

 

The problem is that there will be too many items for this.
Also, since the update mobs drop way more emeralds and you get around a stack of le from the new quests. We don't need this.

 

It's not mainly meant to get people more emeralds, it's supposed to give people a resource to obtain the items that they need without the difficulty of posting on the forums.
