Simple. We have templates. Woohoo!
It's easy to trade'm, just copy the string, remake a .txt file, and done!
But...why not make a template trade interface in game? Really easy, shouldn't take too much code or bandwidth.
Example:
JR- wants to send the following template(s): Uber 1337 galedom mesmer; LoD emo; etc....
Accept Yes/No.
You click Yes, the string gets sent over to your pc, they copy the .txt to your HD...and done!
This should make template setups really easy, switching people out in gvg etc.
I have no idea why A.net didn't think of this, or didn't implement it yet....
*edit* some people in #gwp claim it might not be safe. Bypass any hacking should be simple:
The template JR- wants to send to me, is first loaded on his pc, then put into a string, and then sent over. So you don't just send the .txt, that could've been altared with a virus etc. You merely send the string, which is then saved in a .txt on the receiving client.
A small scheme clarifying it a bit:
Template transfer in-game.

Why would you trade templates?
Im assuming you mean to charge for them?
You cant charge someone for a set of skills they already own.
Plus if you give them a template containing skills they dont earn, it wont work.
I like the idea of exchanging templates for free, but I think that should be left to the guildwars.com website or other supporting websites to create a page which allows that.

Are you a pve'er or what? Why would you want money for everything you "own"?
I just want an easier way to giving builds to other people. Person A stops flagrunning, all he has to do is send the build to Person B, and he can start right away. Less hassle. Charging money for builds....I just had a good laugh mate, thank you!

Here's why. Let's say a team wants a specific team build. The leader could just trade the spec to each teammate before the fight.

Great idea IMHO, also like the idea of having a place you can store templates for the whole guild.

But make it so it only works if you have all the skills (including the elite) on the template already unlocked on your character

Scroz, you can simply ignore the skills you don't have at the moment. It works for like it already right now. I have a pvp template my PvE sin can't run, because he lacks some skills, but if I do load the template, it simply ignores the skills I don't have ( there used to be a bug, where it wouldn't load any skills, maybe it got fixed by now )

but think of this (don't wanna spoil the fun)
Now the string gets saved in a text file on your HD.
This would mean that they should change this and leave the templates server based (which would be good, coz if i'm logging in on someone elses pc i don't have my temps anymore), meaning that over 2 million players with let's say 20 templates each start storing that particular string on the server.
Lag?
People who play EVE Online know what a mess it was when insta BM's (Bookmarks) were copied before they introduced the 5 BM per copy action limit.
Mass server lag and it stayed like that for a while
And i'm talking about a server with only 30000 people on it

*edit* I get it, because the topic is named "Template trading in-game." . Let's change that into Template transfer in-game. Mmmk?

Emik, trading items works the same...Does that create lag? Actually, just use the trade window to trade templates. Just add a little button to it for templates.
When I get home, I'll try to remember myself that I make a scheme that depicts how everything works, so there's no confusion.

By the way, you know how I feel about PvE v. PvP, Yanman, so try to refrain from starting that discussion in here.

Though it's not exactly like item trading an item is a Item boject in you characters backpack or bank array, on the server you are playing on.
A build is a string on you send to another person, or to a server which then sends it to the other person.
Routing through server is safer for IP hiding and the lagg strain would be no worse then plain chat.
Wonderfull idea
