This is still a bad idea as you could then increase the circulation of older hats.

Trading on multiple accounts can fixed by only identified accounts and Graal+ can trade, and there can be a limit to how many times you trade per week, or every 24hrs. This could still mean that people identify loads of accounts, but if anyone wants to waste time with 10 different emails, then let them go ahead. I am not looking for problems here, I am looking for solutions.

I got over 10 identified accounts already and only graal+ wouldn't work since there are pc clients. And even with a limit on trades I could put money on another account with little steps and still transfer all the money to my main.

And if I may ask, a solution for what? It won't happen anyways.

say i have and old hat. I tell some newbie that i will sell it for $10(real money), all he has to do is pay me through various methods(outside the game) and once the payment was received I would just trade him the hat for a gralat in-game or scam him.



edit: i guess what im trying to say is that it would be another tool for scammers.

^All of this + the other previously mentioned they want ppl to buy hats so they can make money and not let us swap hats for free.

Duh, its possible, but not going to happen.
It was only added to the egg hunting because it is pretty low-risk. If you got scammed into trading a rare egg for a common egg, too bad, you can get another one; worst case scenario, you dont get a fat bunny. Besides, after a few hours of hunting most people know whats rare or not.

trading hats, furniture, items etc is much more higher risk. You dont know what to value your hat at compared to a furniture piece. And it is much easier to scam. Pull out a halloween 2011 hat that you bought for 1gralat and trade a noob for the hat he just won in an event. Besides the fact that circulating old stuff ruins rarity.

I'm not trying to start this arguement again,but rarity is a freaking joke in classic. How many hats have we seen updated and sold or resold in the last year? Or even the return of a good chunk of the rps hats that hadn'[t been around and where starting to become rarer? They have even remade and resold mounts recently as well. Don't forget about them over using hats as event rewards. There should be more than enough to keep event hats circulated and not handing out more than like a dozen of the same hat.

Hey guess what! It will make the gane die! I could make sooo many gralats a day and never have to pay! Graals a business, not a FFA. They wabt your money, not for you to find another way to get more money than paying.

Just wanted to point out that the admins just proved my point about rarity being a joke by re-releasing the donkey mounts for cinco de mayo. Thanks for devaluing my Donkey mount from last year which I'm pretty sure I paid more than 2.5k for which is what the remakes are being sold for.  

So in a nutshell:

Rare is common on graal
Scammers will scam
And this will never happen.

Let's use Pokemon's Wonder Trade concept to be able to connect and send a random player an item. Everyone will give each other nice things since they are all such wonderful people, right? Right...? ****.

That could actually work to some extent, you trade random furniture/items for random furniture/items, scamming isn't possible because you don't know what you're getting/taking a gamble, and it's highly unlikely you could 'get rich' from it.

However, there would have to be some restrictions, such as

- Owning the item for a period of time (30 days?)
- Fixed number of trades a day?
- Item has to have some value so you're not just putting in chairs/cheap furniture?  

Trading hats and items would completely destroy this server, players rate each other based on how many old hats and items they have, and what about 1k hats? This is a horrible idea to me. :p
