So, this may have been asked for already (I looked through every page of the game development, but that was several months ago..), apologies if they have but, I think it would be pretty nice to have a trade button on players pages just to make trading just that much more convenient.

I have a giveaway thread and what not and usually what I have to do to trade lions over to people who want them are:

1. open up a new tab

2. go to explore to click "trade"

3. click transfer instead

4. look back over to previous tab to make sure I can type their id right, or to copy their id.

**Recently it's just been me clicking the trade link in my bookmarks but I put my old way up just to show you how it can be**

Yea, it isn't too much work, but it would just be so much easier if I could click on their name , go to their page and right there where "friend user" "message user" and all that are, I could click "trade with user".

I feel like it could open up the transfer pager and already have their number placed into the user ID area of the transfer to section.

Dunno if its just me. But it'd be nice not having to do that 3 step process every time I have to transfer something to someone ^^

Anyways, open to suggestions. Feel free to tell me why it will or won't work~

SUGGESTIONS:

InsanitysFinest {Challenge Me} (#7013): Another suggestion is to allow there to be a button for them to Accept and/or Reject the trade.

Also the ability of, if it is a lion/lioness in trade, their age to freeze while in that holding chamber for the acceptance or rejection. In case the other recipient is gone for a few days. :}

There should be a trade notification at the top like this months May event so there is not an overflow of annoying inbox notifications.


Ayin(6/13 GB) (#24241): Maybe you could have a list of trades that people want to trade to you, and only 5 would appear at a time. that way if the user is a once-a-month online user, they don't get cluttered with junk.

Inspired by: #(50862): There should be a time limit for personal trades, meaning an expiration time for them. Most likely up to 3 days since personal trades tend to happen instantly/quickly.
________

SUGGESTION VOTE: Perhaps there can be a word-limited message that may be sent with the trade? Just to let people know why you are trading.

I know sometimes people trade me things and I have to go either through my forums or through my messages (if I don't outright ask them) just to find out what said trade was for.

Let me know if this should be added to the original suggestion or not. If not please explain so others can understand why not as well c:



This suggestion has 66 supports and 0 NO supports.

Thanks!

I'm hoping it will help people who do lots of auctioning/ trading/ contests, and the like.

So much easier to just go to the peeps page and trade with them~

I also think it should be available to the public, so if anyone has made a trade with them and it has been erased, they can see that and remake the trade. (Y/n?)

Ayin, can you explain the "made to the public" a little more? not sure I understand that part.

But adding your first part to suggestion! :)

Ah. i mean if someone has made a trade, and five other trades were made after it, then they can see that and remake the trade.

Yes, yes, please, yes. Every site I'm on has this option, I really don't know why this one doesn't have it already. For a site that uses ID's (which are harder to remember than usernames), it's necessary. It's particularly useful for people with slow internet, who can't switch tabs every few minutes to check back and forth all the time to see if they copied/remembered the right ID.

On #7013's suggestion:
This really seems useful.
Particularly the freezing of lions. But this has a bad side too, people might use this to keep their lions from ageing for a while? I'm not sure how to deal with that problem.
And yes, yes, yes. please less annoying inbox notifications. I already want to scream my head off when I see "you have cubs/something's starving/user purchased item" notifications. I don't know if there's a way to turn those off that I missed, but I really wish we could.

On #24241's suggestion:
I just find this helpful. I have little to say, except that I think it would make the game a lot easier (on the nerves) for it's members. ^_^

"Perhaps there can be a word-limited message that may be sent with the trade? Just to let people know why you are trading."
This is an absolute must. I wish trades and transfers in general had the option to allow both parties to enter a message. If nothing else, just to say "thank you" when the trade's done.

I support al the ideas. :D

Thank you for the support!

Also with #7013's suggestion, I thought about that too, that people may use it to purposefully freeze the aging of lions, but players do that anyhow with side accounts. A lot of players often use their side accounts solely for the purpose of keeping lions/lionesses young.

Maybe we could counter this with a time limit? Say if the person doesn't accept the trade within a certain amount of real life days the trade expires (much like how trades expire in the TC).

Sorry that I'm taking so long to respond, feeling a bit ill now. But back on topic, I like that idea. I'd encourage a smaller time limit (30 days really isn't necessary for private trades, is it?) to prevent too much abuse, but I think the idea's solid! :D

Oh yes lol. I was thinking possibly 2-3 days, since most personal/private trades happen quite quickly.

That would make sense. ^^ Then the age couldn't be paused for long enough to really matter.
