[Official] Trading and other card aquisition methods

[Annele]

I mean have it as a Special Spin, the spins you get after winning some games in a row in the arena. This way you have a small chance of having a nymph on the first reel, a smaller chance of having the same nymph on the second, and a VERY small chance of having the same nymph on the third. And then you have to actually spin three.

[esran]

no. i want this idea to happen, and it has to not include nymphs.

[ZephyrPhantom]

Very few players would even drop nymphs into in the pool in the first place, given how hard it is to get 6> copies of any Nymph.

I like this idea I am constintly selling away pharos and artic squids while trying to get the other rares.

Basics:
Nymphs cannot be traded.
Marks cannot be traded.

Meant to act as an upped trade with upped field. Allows for more cooperativeness TCG feel as well as help cut down a bit on grinding (Got 7 SNs? Trade one of them for some card you don't have!). Splurged 45k on a bad deck? Trade some cards away and don't lose much!

Should unupped cards be allowed?
If unupped cards are allowed, the unupped rare weapons should be banned from trading (prevents level 7 abuse quest). Not sure about upped weapons or squid/miracle/pharaoh

Are shards allowed to be traded?
I'd say yes. For shards, you have to at least sort of work for them. You can't pick them out of a quest or from the oracle.

[AnonymousRevival]

Perhaps you could trade multiple cards for one. Say some commons for a shard or weapon.

Also, you can type in the amount of you want to trade for that card.

When thinking of this concept I tried to make it so that it can't really be abused.

Trading multiple cards: One person can just spin a bunch of free cards from oracle on alts, then trade all of those cards for a single random pillar.

Type in : Good idea, worried about this being abused, but I can't really think how it can be abused too badly, sort of like This

It'd be nice if both concepts can be implemented without much abuse though.

But I've already worked so hard for all my upped cards

I feel that if rares were ever tradable, it could still be abused a lot because it's not very hard to give the rares to someone else so that they have a set of 6, then let that person farm for even more of the rares.  Same with shards.

I might like the idea of trading upped non-rares for other upped non-rares.
And no buying cards from others for .  It has to be 1 upped card for another.
buying cards for would just fill up the chats will spammers trying to get a good deal.

Chat crowding is definitely something to consider.

Edit: I just thought of another problem/comment.  Most people tend to upgrade the same cards, like Supernova.  So having 7 SNs from FGs would usually still make the player just sell the 7th card.  So it wouldn't be very good for the completionist who is only trying to get the upped cards he can't already win.  Nobody is really going to have a 7th say... antlion.. if i wanted one. ('cept i have 6 already, and they're awesome)

So like you give the person a code to give them electrum instead of trading it with them directly?

[Devas]

I'd rather have Zanz&co spend their time on other things.
This system has too many limits to be fun, the only way I see myself benefit is trading out the usual worthless upped AI4/FG/Arena reward for something I could use, but most people (I think?) already have all the cards they need for their decks.

That said, I wouldn't mind seeing this implemented

lol yeah well. I shouldn't have sold all my spare supernovas

It's better than just straight up letting them farm rares off of you though. I know what you're saying, but I feel that a trade (+1,-1) is still better than farming (+1,-0)

Having a lobby or open chat (whether it be a seperate room in EtG forums chat or one of those kong chats) would make more excitement. I personally think it'd add to the fun and encourage more players if there were auctions for cards or things.

Oh, actually, having a separate chat would be really great.  Since a lot of people don't chat at all, it encourages more participation.
