World Trade Market Request Section

Hello everyone!

(QUICK NOTE: I made this post in Dark Mode and I would very much recommend you use Dark Mode to read it. Also I discovered colours while making this and now I can't stop using them)

I play Wynncraft a lot and I come across times where I feel like some of the stuff I have that I think I should get rid of could actually be something that someone is in need of and it could go to waste.

Sometimes I think about the ability to put a request for an item on the Trade Market and if someone had it they could message me and we could meet up and trade, which sparked my idea and now I have a solution to that problem.

I had thought of a very great idea of adding a request section to the Trade market so that anyone who is looking for an item, can request an item and ITS A GREAT WAY TO MAKE MONEY AND HELP PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME :)

Here is how I think the requests should look: (I don't have any fancy text stuff to show what I want to show, this is all I know how to do)

Note:
I would make a crafted item request example but I don't think that it should be a feature on the Trade Market and instead stick to asking on the forums or Detlas.

The reason I don't think it should be on the Trade Market is because if someone made a request, they would have to meet up with the person who could craft the item for them and that can easily get some people pissed and scams will be made because the person who made the request could give the materials and ingredients to the person who can make what they want for them but the person receiving those materials and ingredients and could just take them and leave and since there is a no-refund policy, there is no way you can avoid that from happening.

I thought of a way to fit in a request section on the Trade Market, instead of having the Sell tool look like this:



It could be changed to:
__________________________
Sell or Request an Item
Click here to sell an item on
the market or request to buy
an item on the market
__________________________

And in terms of accessing the Request section of the Trade Market, the Filter tool can be changed from this:



To this below, I think the level filter is useful because people can collect stuff at certain levels and can answer peoples requests if they specialize in a certain level area or level mobs for an amount of time.
_____________________________
Filter Frontpage
Left-Click to change item level
Right-Click to set default level*
Shift+Left-Click to switch to
Request page

- Lv. 1-19 (+I - III)
- Lv. 20-39 (+I - III)
- Lv. 40-59 (+II - IV)
- Lv. 60-79 (+III - V)
- Lv. 80+ (+IV - VI)
- Show All
______________________________

And perhaps when once you are on the Request page, it could change to:
_____________________________
Filter Frontpage
Left-Click to change request level
Right-Click to set default level*
Shift+Left-Click to switch to
Item Page

- Lv. 1-19 (+I - III)
- Lv. 20-39 (+I - III)
- Lv. 40-59 (+II - IV)
- Lv. 60-79 (+III - V)
- Lv. 80+ (+IV - VI)
- Show All
______________________________

Now, a way to make an item request could be done using this Sell Item tool since there is no room on the edge of the GUI to fit another:

(I think so. If another slot can be added I think that would be better)



And another part could be added underneath. I decided to use Paint.net to make something like what I think the Sell/Request Menu should look like:



I am just going to say a few dot points on what is what and how things can be added:

- The second row is for the request-an-item tools

- The compass icon should say "Search an item to request" and once you have found the item and you click on it, the compass with change to the sprite of the item you want to request. If you want to remove that item you just click it again and the compass will show up again

- The "Click to set price" tool should have a feature of "Right click if the price is negotiable"

- There should be a paper icon that says "Click to add any additional information"

AAANNDD I think that is it!

I will add that I thought of an idea a few days ago which helped spark my idea to make this forum post, that idea was this:

I had also made another crafted item saying "Two Obelisk Core Request by Chris" and someone messaged me not long after that saying they had an Obelisk Core that they could sell to me. You might think that is a good idea but this could be added onto in the form of what I have shown in this post.

This crafted item request method has many cons to it:

Reasons why using a renamed crafted item is not a sufficient way of requesting something:

- It uses up materials

- 30 character limit

- Only letters and spaces can be used

- Only VIP+ and HERO (and Champion) have access to renaming and reloring a crafted item

- People tend to glance over items they are not interested in (e.g. People who are only interested in higher level items will usually have the Lv. 80+ item filter on) and anyone who uses a crafted item below that to request something wont have their item seen.

- Just think about it, its terrible for requesting anything

If you think that this suggestion is good and should be added to the game, please answer the poll and if I missed anything out or you have any questions, let me know. I think this could be really useful and would benefit a lot of people. I spent half the day doing this so I could have missed stuff. I will answer any replies, you will have to wait because I sometimes take to respond hopefully within the day or next day a response will come.

(If the colour is too intense, ill change the orange to normal)

Thanks!

EDIT: I just thought about how the request would be answered and I’ll just tell them by points:

- To answer someone’s request you just click on the item in your inventory that you want to trade and then click on the confirm button (tick) to send it through, just like clicking on an item you want to sell. This should only work if the item that is being requested matches with what you are putting in

- If you are answering an ingredient request with more than one ingredient, there could be a plus icon like the “click to set amount” tool and you can set how many you want to send to them

- I think that request should have an accept and deny system so that people can’t just answer peoples request with an item with bad stats even if that’s not what the requester wants and get money from the requester for it. To achieve this, once someone clicks confirm to send the item to the requester, the requester will see something in chat saying “Someone has answered your request, go to the Trade Market to accept or deny it” and that could show up every so often (not too much so it doesn’t start to fill up chat)

 

Bumping this up. Does anyone have anything to say about this?

 

I'm not sure if you relize this but this already exists...

 

I don't know if you realize that this doesn't exist. If you read it, or even glanced at it, you'd see that it clearly doesn't exist. Maybe this could even replace the bounty system

 

a request system already exists, i have been playing for 5 years and i have never heard of it? Tell me more then

 

There is this thing where you can bounty an item if it goes up on the market but
1. No one can see what people want so with this system other people can look through their bank and see if anyone is requesting an item that someone has or doesn't need any more
2. All this bounty thing does it cause any item that someone wants that gets put up to get instantly bought, there is no negotiating. Its not a great system in my opinion, this one is clear and would fit in well

 

i honestly didn't know that... huh-either way yeah this doesn't exist @quick007 make sure to look up things before posting (Unless your in VIP plaza)

 

sorry, I'm kinda new lol. I thought that there was a way to use the bounty system, but ig not.

 

All good. Sorry for being kinda rude about it

 

Its fine, I just hope you like this suggestion

 

Bump. ...Barely anyone is doing the poll

 

Why is no one giving feedback? I am confident in this suggestion and its a shame that no one cares about it

 

Bumping thread

 

There really isn't much feedback you can give to it, the overall idea is a feature we really need, and your execution of it is pretty much perfect.
If you want this to get more attention you might as well just make another post that is more compact and hope that more people see it.

 

Wow, you don't know how much that means to me ;-: thank you. I would love for this to get more attention but only like a ratio of 1 : 10 of the people who viewed this actually did the poll. How do I compact it more? I dont really have the tools to make custom items or custom GUIs so I used text and colours to the best of my abilities

 

That's good, but if you make diagrams it would look that little bit better.
To make these custom GUIs, download the Wynncraft resource pack, then grab the stuff you want and rename it.
If you want help, I can make them for you, but it is a good skill to learn.

 

It's normal that people just see the post and don't even do the poll, but you actually got pretty unlucky with the number of views you got.
One thing that would help tho would be compacting the text like I said, if it is too big people might not even bother to read it.

But if you really want to improve you can do like he said

 

maybe just adding a tldr at the beginning?

 

Spoilers would be better

a
I personally usually wait how the suggestion goes before voting.


But yeah, most people do not vote

 

I would love to have custom GUIs and items but I have no idea about how to do them. Also I don't have the time to learn all that now but that would be amazing if you could make them, I would really appreciate it and would like to help you help me if you are up to it

I'll do that with the next post of this.
