This idea retains the same concepts of the current system in place only expandedI am an advocate of self-found mode and im not trying to replace that. Im only trying to suggest ways to improve smaller community interaction- while bringing the concept of trading back to the game without ruining it.
How it works
The best way i can explain this is to give situational examples:
I really like the idea of close nit communities that blizzard has created with Clans. So an idea popped in my head that maybe just maybe we could open up some kind of trading options with those people that currently exist within a Clan (max 120 people).
Im hoping people can provide some great feedback on the idea. Whether negative or positive. Thoughts?
How it works
- Clan members (max 120) find an item that exists in game and have the option to list that item within a clan based window (they can click a button on the item to list it)
- 2 hour threshold for items still exists before they are BOA'd
- A limit for how many items a person can place will exist for that time period
- Another Clan member will see the item listed, whisper, and make a trade
- Joining another clan will be restricted to a time period (right now you can only join one clan) - ie 2 hours
- To prevent "clan jumping" there can be a set number of times you can join a clan per week. 3 times or so
- Multiple clan creation will be restricted to a time period as well
- Since we are only expanding on the current system in place, black marketing techniques wont be as viable with the 2-hour threshold
- There can also be an item display restriction for new people joining a clan to prevent black marketing possibilities even further (basically they wont see items when the first join)
- Bots: bots make no difference regardless if you are in a clan or not they cant flood list (due to restriction)- same as how the trade system works now
The best way i can explain this is to give situational examples:
- Currently you are only allowed to trade with people you play with for up to 4 hours. The problem with this and smart loot is that it doesn't open up much trading options as most likely your game will be of different character classes (in this case assume that no one has another character).So with items that fall for only your class you are kind of pushed against the wall.
- Now put into effect clan trading you now have introduced 2 hour windows for up to 120 players at one time. Of those 120 players lets say 20 are wizards and 10 are on at the same time you are. That means any item another wizard in your clan lists will be able to be traded within a 2 hour window. (no extreme item inflation)
- Many! As one person pointed out the ability to purchase and trade items through a separate clan UI over a 2 hour period would make it more attractive for players to join one while being not such an overwhelmingly gamebreaking benefit as to penalize players who prefer to play entirely alone. (MisterWoodhouse)
- It also allows more interaction with people in the game esp within each clan!
