But make it so that you have to try to trade in local 2 times. So if someone accidently forgets to switch their ok.

Why don't we just have a petition! We all know how well those things work. Yeah if you didn't catch the sarcasm there you're as bad as the noob traders. And I don't care about people saying "Oh if you care so much, block the normal channel." Normal channel was put there for a reason. I shouldn't have to block it to accomodate an 8 year old moron who thinks his shitty 8-10 hammer is so "Godly" that he has to spam about it in the normal channel. People aren't buying it in the trade channel for a reason you jackass. Move on and stop spamming in the normal chat.

There would be enough solutions to reduce local channel trading a lot. Simply make more features to trade channel which ease your trading and most of the people start to use it instead local one or make trading market town or section where you can drop your trading stuff, set the prices and everyone can go and look at them, buy it if they want and you get gold directly or once you check your trading box or whatever name would be good for it.

Especially young ones with no brains are so selfish that there is no other reasonable solutions.

I suggested just blocking any attempt to say WTS, WTB, Selling, Buying, or any other version thereof in All chat. There are already filters in the game, it wouldn't be hard.

The 90-day ban is a great idea though.

dude, chill out

90 day bans for saying something is a little extreme. its like your mom telling you you cant play guild wars for 3 months becasue you left your dirty laundry in the wrong pile. put yourself in that position its not pretty. i was just using an example im not saying everyone that ever tries to sayt heir items in all chat just forgot.

maybe adding a <insert color here> function so you dont have to look at pink text the entire time. there are some other good ideas for improving trade channel that have been posted up as well.

i think you people that are actually supporting the joke the guy wrote (90 day ban) need to quit complaining and start suggesting ways to improve trade channel, instead of trying to ban every person that does something that you dont like, and/or cannot control

I like the idea of linking items to the trade channel. Sort of like anarchy where it says the item's name and you can click it to see all of its stats in a popup menu. Impliment this, make it only work in the trade channel, and I garuntee no newbies will continue to sell their firey dragon swords in the all channel anymore. The problem would then be to educate them on how to use the new system. Lol.

i think thats how you spell it

I think the 90 day ban thing is tongue in cheek... nobody would expect that harsh a punishment and though I'm as annoyed as the rest it hardly befits the crime.

I often spam this (in all chat) ::

redirecting anything with WTB or WTS to the trade channel would be a great idea. The words "buying" and "selling" wouldn't work because they could easily be used in normal conversation. You could also limit this behavior to only words spoken in the "All Chat" window.

spikydude · Jul 26, 2005, 04:48 PM // 16:48

Well it seems that the mainstream lingo for selling and buying in guildwars have become WTS or WTB. So I think it's a good idea to move chat strings with WTS or WTB to the trade channel automatically.

wow with the amount of people who dont know how to use it you must be knee deep in gold...

i always want to tell them how to use the trade channal, but i figure one person cant make a diffrence, hopefuly Anet looks into some kind of solution

TheGreatBoo · Jul 26, 2005, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Everytime I have told someone to move their selling or buying to the trade channel is "STFU you jackass I can do this wherever I want." Explaining it to them is not what they need. They need to be redirected automatically to the trade channel.

Ultimate_Gaara · Jul 26, 2005, 10:00 PM // 22:00

or mr.T could teach them a lesson... but the redirection sounds better.. either that or sticking them in their own town/district

The time has come to start ganking those who don't use the trade channel. What I do is first make an announcement to the fact that I'm going to begin noob hunting those who don't use the trade channel. Sometimes this in itself has the effect to push people there. If they still refuse, I invite players to join me in the hunt (not to be part of a party, but just to run around looking for the prey using the Ctrl key to bring up the names in view).

Once we find someone to gank, we surround them and begin /taunting them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes they run away or map away, sometimes they ignore us. In any event, I get a bit of entertainment out of it when I don't have the time to run a quest or mission, but am feeling bored.
