Well bot spammers who sell items are basically unfair because a bot can sell items much easier than a regular person without becoming bored and giving up. Also they can post very fast and never get disrupted. So I think the "Trade" channel should be changed.
idea 1: Perhaps if you couldhave the user type his text into a box in the trade chat icon and Anet automatically spams the item every 20 seconds or so then when a buyer pms you the setting may be turned off. Also it should be breaching the terms and license agreement to post trades in the all chat numerous times.

Well lets see what other people think of the idea...

okay, here's my idea of how some peeps can really get the trade going. they should get rid of thier normal trade chat.

Instead, they should have a merchant idea. Just set up like a stand or something and have your items you want to sell up, you have the price up for sale, clear and simple. The game will spam the merchant's message over and over.(you can turn this chat off)

Also, the process will be like this:
-I press the trade button to the merchanting player
-A window opens up displaying their items up for sale+price of them.
-I can drag the item to my inventory and it will have a "are you sure you want to purchase this?" window pop up.
-If you click yes, you get the item and the merchant gets his money

Other ideas:
-Purchasing may include barter system(IE:1 Max bow for 10 ingots and an ecto)

Pros:
-Player can go AFK+ bots arent needed
-Simple enough to impliment
-Reduces trading spam in all chat
-If no barter system, it will reduce prices from going past 100k

Cons:
-Crowded district w/ merchants stands all over the place.
-barter system can still keep prices outrageous
-no leeway in prices, can't haggle to a lower price

sounds very silkroadish, and would be an awsome thing to impliment. Stalls are the perfect thing, but that doesnt solve the spam in chat.
