How will they? Becuase they can trade? So what? It's the players decision at the end of the day. Sure the game needs a profit, but if you had an oppertunity to get something for free but everyone else paid for it, what would you choose?

Why can't we just have a trading system for drop-ables only? It stops scammers and it won't affect the economy. Please, just add this. That way we can stop things like this outcry from happening ever again.

PLEASE!

EXACTLY!
Just droppables. No gralats. No guns. No non-droppables. The only change it could possibly make is no more scamming.

yeah i'm not saying i wouldn't want things for free. What i'm saying is that a lot of people will not buy it from the shops because they will try and trade for a better price, so now less money is being made there. So prices will rise to cover the costs and less people will buy and prices will rise once again, this will end up as a vicious circle

and ruin the economy  

DEFINITLEY don't make everything droppable. There should be a trade system there doesn't have to be item for item but you can see what the other person has put on the other side of it and then scamming will be fixed, you can gift properly and everyone will be happy except scammers

End of day, it never should of got as far as it did without proper planning in place.

I like the work Snk does, but he doesn't always fully think about the knock on effects :p

As Street said, anything bought in a store shouldn't be tradable, especially event items also, this way the money will still leave the economy as people will have to buy those items from a store; holiday items imo should stay as holiday items, if you miss the event, we should either do a special event sometime throughout the year for a certain period where you can buy some stuff you missed, or put those items up for event items (so purchased with ec, event items.. holiday/event, makes sense to me?)

I'm all for trading but, I don't want it to ruin this game like it ruined Era PC :[

I 100% totally agree  

Seems like it's hard to keep the balance just right, so for now, I'll sit on the bench.

What is droppable would have to be looked at, like shells and pirate weapons, you'd absolutely have to stop them being dropped because they'd be used as currency, it would take a lot of work to get the right items.  

Good point. Very good point. I guess anything that you cant sell in a shop would be fine.
That could stop people like trading shells and stuff.
I mean turning boxes into a currency is pointless, seen as you can't sell them.

Anything buyable in a shop also needs to be removed  

Agreed. Anything else?  

"Greed is a natural poison"  

if the purpose was for gifting then maybe a gifting system will replace dropping items?  

Good idea.  

I like how you fixed many of the ways of scamming, such as the "go offline until he leaves" and you fixed the egsshot and barrel glitchs, but as more of the items are droppable i think we all can have our own trade system. I dont really think that we need a trade system, but problems would be the jerks that live off of the "u first" trades where they practically empty the inventory of the new players.  

You first trades? They won't exist.
A trade means a swap. You can't swap 'nothing' for an item.
