Ever since I've played rs from 2001, I can only recall 2 updates to the trade system. They were :

 

 

 

1) the 2nd trade window

 

 

 

2) the recent one where it shows the trader's name.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sure others would agree the current system is lame and is overdue for an update, one that is actually helpful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are my suggestion from my experience:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1)Show price

 

 

 

Allow the seller to post a price with his merchandise.

 

 

 

That way the buyer can see what the seller is asking for and

 

 

 

if the buyer puts in the correct amount the trade is automatically

 

 

 

accepted. This will speed up trades in crowded worlds.

 

 

 

Will also stop scammers who quick switch gp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2)Trading tabs/queues

 

 

 

Often times when i sell i get multiple buyers at one time. Trading tabs

 

 

 

could be used to form a queue of buyers waiting to buy goods.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3)Trade chat

 

 

 

Often it is difficult to chat to a buyer especially on a crowded world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4)Trade filter

 

 

 

Allow sellers the option to select what kind of items that they would consider in exchange for their goods. It will save time from being wasted with useless trades.

to add to yuor 1st one it will stop scammers cuz as soon as price is on it accepts not being able for them to take away things

how 'bout View trade? it lets you "spy" at someone's trade, it would be a handy thing that shows the trade and then you can actually see if someone has you in ignore or not ...

1 would be very hard to do, but it's just like the forums.

 

 

 

2...i don't get it

 

 

 

3, use another suggestion for this

 

 

 

4, Once again, very hard to do.

2. good idea and by that he means a tab like system so he can trade with multiple people... good ideas..

We only need 1. and 2.

I like all of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the people that said it is too hard to make. It is only as hard as making an entirely new skill.
