Private Trading

I still think the benefit of being able to help out lower level players would outweigh any abuse that might take place. And I do think there are ways that I haven't thought of to mitigate said abuse.
This is obviously an option that many, many players want.

I think there are other things that are currently in place in the game that would continue to be abused more than this.. Prestige feeding from different accounts for instance.

Trust me mate this was suggested 13 months ago. If it was so eagerly wanted and supported then it would have been implemented. Private trading isn't going to happen.

Btw posting the same thing on the private trading threads isn't helpful and is pointless please refrain from it.

Trust me mate, I know how often this has been suggested. Probably at least once a week for a year. Obviously it is wanted by players. I don't think I have seen a topic more suggested.

My point is, that for something that is suggested as often as it is, I think there can be a way to implement it. Granted, it will be abused, but what game change hasn't been in some way? The people abusing it really wouldn't gain much, as they can already do the same thing with just a few more steps. The single biggest gain would be reliably being able to sell nuggets to beginning players, which would encourage more people to keep playing the game.

Btw, I was simply responding to the threads you suggest a few posts back. And I did not post the same thing. I responded to each argument as it was presented. I simply thought it better to respond to the arguments within the thread they were posted in.

well i havent seen emhancements being abused, or gold and silver chest,. or the callback dispatch that cant be abused. haypi has very few abusable features and im sure they would wish to keep it that way

btw you responded to each argument the same way, as i am the only one discussing with you then surely one thread is enough

I'm sure people have and will abuse those also, just as people have abused the move-city option, the create alliance map option, and using the market as safe storage for crops. You may argue that these are all part of the game, so all is fair, but if the private trade system was implemented, then it too would fall under the same rule.

And I begin to wonder if you even read the posts on the other threads. The only thing the same between them is that I was staying on the pro-private trade side of the argument and I said that each argument was under the assumption that normal market rules would apply. Also, although I am the only one discussing this with you, others are likely viewing it and I felt that responding to those threads on this one would clutter and confuse. I did not plan on, and will not respond any further in those threads.

i dont know how you can abuse the move city option unless it is to feed but that mere shortens the travelling time. you cannot abuse a callback, i can think of no option where it would be classed as abuse, as for enhancements and boxes- try to abuse something random

secondly if normal trade limits is part then why bothere with a private marketplace, sell for a greater amount of money so your resources etc are safe and then sell a smaller amount back at the maximum possible price, it is uneccesary in my opinion to have a private marketplace. i have never once had anything i have put on the market for cheap stolen by someone else.

I was referring to the practice of city-dropping to attack someone. When it was first introduced, I think that the primary intent was to allow players to move away from undesirable locations, and that using it for attacks was an unintended side-effect. But that's an argument that was hashed out long ago on the forums with no result.

As far as this...

... sell for a greater amount of money so your resources etc are safe and then sell a smaller amount back at the maximum possible price, it is uneccesary in my opinion to have a private marketplace. i have never once had anything i have put on the market for cheap stolen by someone else.

Yes you can do this, but it gets complicated, and time consuming when you have to scroll through hundreds of listings to find the maxed price resource. I have had had a few things swiped that I was trying to sell. I never posted on wc that I was selling them and never left them in the market for more than 30 seconds. Coincidentally, the ones swiped were usually within the first few
seconds.

These are the main benefits I see to a Private trade system.

1) Providing a one-transaction way assure that resources or treasure get to the person intended.
2) Being able to sell resources and treasure to people who play at different times than yourself.
3) Make it easier to get nuggets and resources to new players, thus encouraging them to keep playing the game.

And the negative...

1) People will use this to sell treasure and resources to themselves from alternate accts.
2) People will use this to help specific people to advance at an abnormal rate.
3) People will be less likely to spend coins on treasures if they are easier to buy on the market.

I think u should only b able to private trade to someone on whatever serer ur on. That way u can't sell stuff to ur other accounts, and it'll insure that the item that ur selling goes to the right place. That's my opinion.
