Trade Requests

Sometimes you wanna trade with someone, but they aren't online. Now you have two options:
1. Wait until you can both get online.
2. Use the trade market.

Option 1 isn't always realistic due to huge timezone differences, school, work, etc.
In the trade market there are two problems: Other people can also buy it and there's a 5% tax.

So for the people bumping into these problems, mainly people trading through discord and the forums or people who play with friends that aren't always online at the same time, I present to you:

Trade requests.

The seller:
When you've put something on the trade market, you can check out your item again in this screen. From here you can go back or cancel your trade.


I propose we add in a new button to sell it to a specific player.

After pressing the button, you get asked in chat who you want to sell it to. After typing the name, you get the same screen you normally get when putting something on the market with amount and price.
(This is so that you can sell things to other players for a lower price than autobuyers on the market get it for.)

It still holds up a trade market slot until it is either accepted or denied by the other player. If it is denied, the same thing happens as would happen now if an item isn't sold in 2 weeks.

When still waiting for the buyer to accept, it'll show a yellow checkmark rather than the item.


The buyer:
As the (potential) buyer, whenever you log in and if you have pending trade requests, it'll say so in chat. Just like the daily chest (assuming that isn't a wynntils feature. Not sure)

This message will also show up if you get a new trade request whilst you are online.
Clicking on the text or typing /trades brings you to a little GUI menu where you can see all trade requests made to you. This could also be accessible from an extra button in the trade market somewhere near your own trades. If you get more trade requests than the GUI can handle, it overflows. If you don't respond to a trade request in 2 weeks it disappears from the GUI.


Clicking on an item will bring you to another GUI where you can either accept or Deny the trade. You can also see what the other person asks.

The green checkmark confirms and pays, the red cross denies and the go back button goes back.

The yellow arrows are for a counteroffer. An idea I've added a bit later, inspired by a comment from @oinuk

A counteroffer serves two purposes:
1. It allows the buyer to ask for a lower price.
2. It allows for the buyer to buy with items as well as money.

Upon clicking the counteroffer butten you see the following:

Clicking the + brings you to a screen where you can choose wether you want to counteroffer with emeralds or an item.

Clicking on emeralds makes you say the amount of emeralds you bid. Clicking on the chest makes you pick an item from your inventory and choose an amount of that item you will bid much like the already present systems do.

You can do this for several items and emerald amounts.


Clicking the checkmark sends your counteroffer back to the person selling the item, who will than get the choice to either accept, deny, or counteroffer again.



It might be that people don't want other people to send items to them, to stop that, add /toggle traderequests. Which disallows people to send you items, telling that "That player has disabled traderequests" when they try to send a request. This would also not be available for ironman players for obvious reasons. Nor should taxes be applied to it. (Since this is player-to-player it is closer to /trade [playername] than it is the trade market.)

 

i like the idea, but sometimes items are traded for other items, instead of emeralds, and this (as far as i can see) doesn't support item trades.

 

Interesting, item trades would mean that someone has to send an item to someone else, another person has to offer another item and than a question to confirm the trade would be send back. Since the person who offers the trade can't just select the item they want from the other persons bank. (impossible due to ids.)

Give me an hour, I got an idea and feel like if this is added, that would be a natural fit. ;p

edit: added. I like how it turned out.

 

Bump

100% approval this week, let's go.
