A Small change, but a very effective one.

Make the trade Channel in the party search window viewable across all town/campaigns. So lets say I'm in magumma stade, I can see some one selling an item in Gates of Madness.

-What if two people (one who only owns Faction and the other only Nightfall) want to trade, they won’t be able too.
->Yes they will, there’s always Battle Island they can go too because it’s available too all campaingns.


The only problem I can see with this is a few jokers that might put some unrelated comments in there.

Well, if you add some item filters and require people to not be AFK or set to "do not disturb", then you've got yourselves the making of a system nearly better than an auction house.

It would cut down on 'W.T.S' spam, and make prices of items across the board drop to the lowest common denominator.

Not a bad thing.

Another suggestion given early was to add one big central PvE town, not unlike Temple of Balthazar, but with everything you'd need for PvE... Merchants, Materials, Runes, Armor, Weapons... and turn it into the main commerce hub of the game across all chapters.

Nothing will EVER cut down the "WT S" spam. Ever. Jerks will always be jerks.

People are nowhere near used to the Party Search window, some won't even use it. Doubt this will make that much of a difference.

True that jerk will always be jerk, but with this, there might be a few less jerks. by the way, if you go into the major trade city's, the trade section of the party search window is actualy use quite a bit.

Then you have fun scrolling through 200 items being sold. Most of them worthless greens.

So you want every message in the Trade channel to be displayed on your screen?

As far as scrolling through 400 items for sale. How about a search window?Maybe a drop down with list of weapon types ,shields ,ect. Like what is used on auction site here on guru.

Dont Forget, all section on theparty search window can be minimize, so you dont need to look at all the trades.
For practical purpuse, we could divide the trade sectio into a buying and selling section.

And personaly I use the trade Channel, I was able to make more sell with the trade section then spamming WTS in a channel.

How about a new item search thing like the party search,
Where it is split into categories, like sword, axe, inscriptions etc..
And if you want to buy an item you can just browse everything available.
It would be really good if they add it in explorable areas too.
