hiiiii

we are making a trade table- no guns though

As in a system for droppables only

Pls make event items tradable

If guns were droppable it would cost Stefan and unixmad money because people will start giving away guns they don't need or they quit.

Drop systems are way more open to abuse than regular trade systems are, it's bizarre to have one system but not the other.

iEra's best course of action would be to replace it with a trade system for 'droppable' items, and then disable the drop system altogether.

Pros:

Allows staff to properly log player-to-player transfers, with extensive logging they could trace an item back to it's origin and makes items easier to restore.
Establishes a trustworthy middle-man (the server) to ensure the trade goes smoothly.
By using the same 'droppable' flag with the trade system they still maintain the same amount of control over items.
Staff could actually make the system profitable by establishing trade fees.
Trade fee idea: Staff could implement a 'trade token' instead of allowing trading of gralats. 1 Trade Token could be bought for 120 gralats and converted back into 100 gralats after being traded so staff are still making a good percentage.
Should significantly reduce the scamming problem and the toxic effect it has on the playercount.

Will this include non-droppable melees?

Like hunter knives and light sabers?

Possibly

I see where you are going with this... But how long do you think this will take, there ae many things you need to worry about, such as

/new account, /achievements, /trade throwing knives with other account

And another thing is maybe a test with 10 minutes of it in case its a rampage at the start...

Make it for ec items too! :D

I was referring to non EC items, like Ice Dagger and Snowy Shrub. They are old melees that would be quite rare if they were allowed to be traded.

Ya ya know, a table where you place melees, kick him, and take their melees

Public place, once you place items into boxes, they are still yours, once both graalians press agree you trade

dont allow ec items to be traded.
