Un-abusable Trading system https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=49106.msg1068248#msg1068248

Hi all, I know Zanz doesn't really want to implement a trading system, but I'd like to talk about my idea :D I think this would greatly improve the game experience and also reduce a bit the farming time:
this trading system's purpose is to allow "everyone" to have 6 copies of the rare card he needs for his deck, since sometimes you get more than 6x of one rare and you're forced to sell it for 100 electrums, not a big deal :(
First of all, since Zanz's idea is not to make Nymphs grindable, I'd just exclude nymphs from the tradable card list. That said, in order to make pointless the multiaccount abusing, I'd put a non-tradable mark on the first 40 cards too, and also on all cards you get from the Oracle. To make it all simpler I'd just put a non-tradable mark on ALL non-rare cards (no one really needs), on the cards got from Oracle and on Nymphs.
To make EVERYONE happy I'd also put a "won" (non-traded) mark on cards won until now, so that a player who has farmed all his own collection without trading cards can be proud of his "won" collection.
All this said, the actual trading could be developed in lots of ways, private trading, auction or other systems.

Thank you for reading, I'd like to listen what you guys think about this idea, and I'd also like to know if there's any "bug" I'm not considering :)

Card Auctions... interesting. Looking forward to hearing more from this.
I however think that there should be a greater number of tradable cards, not only those that you mentioned. If people want to auction their cards it's up to them. I find great your idea that the Oracle cards CAN'T be traded.

Yeah, I said that in order to completely exclude multiaccount abuse, since one could trade starting cards from many accounts, so the solution would be make untradable the starting ones, or simplify everything by just making all common cards untradable, since everyone can buy the most valuable card for 107 electrums at the bazaar and sell it for about 70, so the auction value would be beween 70 and 107, not really the point of all this... no one really cares to pay a card 30 elecrums more, the real problem is about farming for DAYS without getting even ONE of the rares you need ;)

I'm SO happy that Zanz will (most likely) NEVER implement a trading system... Play the game and enjoy the journey!
Why buy a new video game and the walk-thru book at the same time? Play the game! Enjoy the game!!!

This is NOT gonna happen guys, so can we please just give it a rest?

Trade is not going to work. The arena is sufficient in getting the rares you need.
The game is meant to be fun through hard work and experimenting with the cards you have. It's not like pokemon where every sprite is unique (~20 different natures and a bajillion combination of IVs), this game has only that many cards.

You say you can't get any cards from the oracle but you can get rare weapons from it...

^This.

Also, on a sidenote, in most cases, you should wait until you have 12 copies of a rare before you start selling them (6 unupped, 6 upped).
