Suggestion: Trading System

[AnoverX]

Everytime when I got an elite card (especially a rare one, like Pharaoh) which I dont need right now, it bothered me: I could sell it for 1100+, but what if I change my mind and wanna build a deck about it someday? Or mb because its rare, I dont wanna sell it. But if I just leave it, its like I waste 1100+ to finish my current deck.
I might hate Pharaoh and Scarab, but someone love them. It would be great if we could help each other.

Once I asked about trading system and I was told its impossible it would be abused. For example multi accounts trading rare weapons from 500 Scores Quest or even just selling the startupdecks.
 
So heres the rules.
1. Cant trade with Player with under 2000 scores (Prevent from startupdeck selling abuse)
2. 500 Scores Quests Reward can't be trade (Prevent from weapon selling abuse)

For the second rule, im thinking of making the rare weapon from 500 Scores Quest *special*, for example with an additional attribute to make them *untradeable*, like the binding system in WOW.

Love it. I've sold pretty much all of the upgraded cards I got from level 5 in order to make various decks that stroke my fancy.

I think 2000 score is high enough that people wouldn't make multiple accounts just for the 500 score quest, but if so, 2500 should definitely do it.

I don't think making the weapon untradable is possible, or even desirable. There's probably no record anywhere of which weapon you chose originally, and futhermore, I think it would be nice to allow people that chose a weapon originally that they no longer have a use for the opportunity to trade it for a new one.

Such a system could be very easily implemented. The easiest way that I can think of is inspired by playing runescape almost a decade ago:
you type in the person's name (like pvp dueling), connect, open the window with all of your cards that aren't in your deck, and a central area that clearly shows what both of you are offering. There should be a little tab to offer electrum as well, and a box to chat back and forth.

When you've both finished putting up your offer, you click "finish", and the computer checks to make sure everything is kosher, then puts up a "confirm" button with a checkbox next to it, to encouage players to check carefully to make sure everything's in order before they trade.

I'd really love to see this implimented, since it would give this game the one missing option that stops it short of being better, imho, than many of the popular TCGs of the day.

Biggest problem I could see is just the fact people could transfer credits back and fourth. Though I wouldnt entirely mind some sort of market since I can make more money off it then selling it to the bazaar.

Perhaps make there a small % fee to place in the market as you would see in most MMORPG and only show the lowest priced card for each card in the market of a specific card upgraded/nonupgraded.

Otherwise I can see some people for example charging 10k with one account for a card to move all funds from that account over to another account.

[finkel]

Yeah, I see what you mean, but can you give examples of why people transfering large amounts of electrum among their own accounts would be bad?
