/signed for seperate buy/sell and perhaps keep the current as a "general trade" channel. Also give the new ones wtb and wts as defaut example

Some Wammo:WTS:gold sword!.

somthing like that. I suppose it could be a little complex but easy to get used to.

Just think of the potential abuse of having 2 separate channels!

"Some Wammo: (WTB):====SELLING PeRFeCT GREEN Something====="

As selling to people who WTB is far more efficient than selling through spamming your own WTS, I expect lots of people who came to the town to sell their crap to have the (WTS) channel disabled, because of the scrolling speeed. Spamming your WTS on the WTB channel would reach more potential buyers, just like spamming it on (!All) chat.

If spamming worked, you wouldn't need to do it because your items would have been sold......

Two trade channels is a better way.
One to sell, one to buy.

GW is developed in how many languages? x 2 = not so difficult.

Two trade channels can be abused. [But not totaly against - easier to read]

Linking the buy and sell tags to colors would guarantee the post was color coded properly [and multiple colors would greatly help the reading of the posts].

Although there would be a few idiots

to use "WTB WTS ......." posts,
so ANET might need to set rules similar to enforcment they just started.
