The real reason Stefan won't add trading
 

The moment stefan adds trading, gralat selling websites will pop up, and severely hurt gralat pack sales as they would be able to beat the official prices of gralats easily.

Hes not going to add trading because hes not going to add trading

I don't understand your logic. Explain more.

The current way forces players to buy a new one of everything instead of being able to trade for it.
Thus it's impossible to recycle items through trading,

It's already been disproved about the whole "destroy the economy" excuse, and it's obvious it would be easy to add and that scamming is unavoidable and how without a safe trade system it's actually encouraging scamming because drop trades aren't safe.

Unixmad (at the present time):

About the stefan issue, lately he is reluctant to give any wee way to any server. (Reciently with his refusal/inactivity on giving Valikorlia's Development server "Classic" subscription status, or giving a reason why he cannot remove observer mode from UN)

Everyone stop stating the obvious. It's lame and annoying.

he likes muffins ^

He's a "badboii" ^

he can read ^

you dont say

this. take more notice

skill your threads about stefan/unixmad are getting worse everytime. get some more creative ideas

If trading was implemented I would personally see to it that we end up with GraalOutpost and Graal Spreadsheet, as well as Gralat selling websites and a store for hats and stuff.

Trade system droppables only EZ EOS

Quick! Someone chloroform Stefan and unixmad, sabotage the graal servers, and allow trading.

Please, do that.

hypothetically, if graal got sued by a big company and had a high probability of getting big money off them, and they set up a agreement that they would drop the charges if Stefan and unixmad turned over the graal company and game and rights to them, i would not be surprised if Stefan and Unixmad decided to agree and give away the game just to keep all the money they have made instead of trying to fight the lawsuit and losing it all.

of course, thats not a very likely thing at all, but its a bit of hope that one day graal will get a proper owner,

People will still arrange buying Graal items with Paypal/credit card money on websites, though. You would pay the vendor $5 for a Shamrock Dagger, then you trade him a shell for the Shamrock.

I'm not sure if you're saying that's bad or neutral.

I think it would be good for players, but hurts the developers in the way of cashflow since players will look elsewhere for Gralats. I don't really mind, though, having done similar things on other online games.

we couldnt care less how players earn their gralats :p. Im pretty sure you mean the owners (aka stefan and unixmad; eventually even xor)

Player-to-Player item trading will likely never be implemented, however player auctions is feasible.

Trading could be added, but in order for them to keep making money they'd have to make stuff more expensive and rare for the people who don't like to share (unintentional rhyme). And...we all know how we don't like expensive.

so basically all stefan cres about is money. wow, the man who runs every server of graal ever sure is great

It's best you learn now. I think some posting of some of those pc forum threads that show the true nature of Stefan and Unixmad is in order..

That's more or less the point of a business. You know, to earn money.

You can profit while still being a good owner. Greed and power are things that should never go together. He is a paranoid, stubborn, greedy man that does not care about the community like he should.

Can you name 10 owners/CEOs/etc of companies who are not manipulative, greedy, and actually care about their consumers?

I care, I don't want the economy and game to go to ****.

My friend tested the Beta for iClassic trading, nothing more has been heard about it.

But it would be awesome, I have a few friends who have hats that I want and visa versa, most people would benefit.

I thought Skill made a big thread about him quitting a week ago. Now he's crying about some guy who really doesn't give a flying **** about what he says.

i hope unixmad doesnt see that video
Right now hes happy with his bread

This is probably a stupid question, but I don't really understand how trading would cause gralat selling websites to pop up?

true
LOL

I answer your quote with another quote.

Okay, yes, I understand item selling sites, but not Gralat selling ones, as said in the first post. Because, to get the Gralats to sell, you need to buy them, and it wouldn't be logical to make a business out of something you need to spend hours on to get the things you need to sell (meaning jobs, farming, etc). And I doubt you'd be able to transfer gralats to other players, just trade items. I don't understand.

Shells from digging say hi

I think if we have a $100 charge each time a player wants to trade or you have $5 irl money for a "trade pack" would please unixmad. After all, he's only interested in now, who gives a **** about the future.

If you couldn't transfer Gralats, these sites wouldn't exist obviously. I'm sure we'll find a way to profit off of them.

Trade systems don't suit Graal very well.
This actually has nothing to do with Unixmad.

I still think that wouldn't solve any of the main problems. The economy would be ruined and owners and player would all lose out

You keep believing that and the whole economy thing. Keep believing that.

His ideas in regards to it may not be 100% right but in general, trading system = bad for graal.

There is a slight difference between being bad for Stefan's wallet, and being bad for Graal.

if it was added you would quickly realise that it's bad for Graal

Sorry chuck, i've lived and breathed Graal many years ago, I know how this stuff works. It has nothing to do with Stefans wallet, it's the games economy that is at stake.

lmao? guys this isnt a game with 100k+ people playing and i doubt that a real world trading site will pop up ._.
but i dont suggest this look what happened to runescape...
theres over 25 real world trading sites for it

if that was the case, than stefan wouldnt make gralats tradable
