merc 1 makes offer isk/item/amount

merc 2 makes offer isk/item/amount

both get a confirmation prompt with the details of the trade.

pretty f'n simple to me

Personally I am hoping they just copy the station trade functionality from Eve in some way.

Open trade window > select items > select isk > both players agree > trade complete.

OR maybe the contract system.

Player 1 selects character and hits create contract then selects the items and isk price. Player 2 receives mail and has the option to accept contract. Contract options include isk given, isk received, items given, and items received so that the person on either side of the deal can create the contract.


The station trade option would be far better in the long run. I am only curious on the mechanics of any of this since we are mostly in different stations and nothing on tranquility is built for cross station trades and item inventory being teleported from station to station. It seems that no matter what the Eve team is going to have to get involved which worries me on the time frame. This is just another reason I always felt like Dust should have been on a separate server with simple API interactions to handle the links between the two. Running two games on two different platforms from the same base server cluster was a bit over ambitious to say the least.

I dont understand why people are so proud of scamming as if it was a cool aspect of the game. To me it's a mediocre way of gaining money

You could still scam stupid people that will buy your stuffs through this system.

Um, scamming is something entirely different to what some of the people in this thread seem to think it is.
Scamming is not trading and then switching it at the last moment, that's simply theft; scamming is convincing someone that the item they are selling is worth far more than it's actually worth; or convincing them to trust them to take the money and give them the item later.

Scamming is entirely possible with the trade window notion, you just seem to have a dumb idea of what scamming is. Scamming actually takes a mild amount of skill at its base level. Look at Con Artists; they don't sell you something worth a damn then take it away, they trick you into thinking they have something valuable that you want.

you want me to give you 100 million isk for 10000 balacs? sure, this is totally not a scam

omg ccp thiz guy tricked me, broken featre

I didn't create this thread to talk about scam techniques.

It is meant to lead CCP in the golden path :3

How I see trades working: 1 and 2 are players
-1 ask for trade
-2 comfirm
-1 and 2 both put a price/item/whatever in the trade window
-1 and 2 accept the deal.
-end of the trade.
