Title: Create "Give" Function

Request Description: Currently, cards cannot be given to other users without getting anything back. This is a request to allow a user to gift cards to another specific user.

Title: Allow Trading For Points

Request Description: Allowing users to offer points in addition to (or instead of) cards when trading would greatly improve the efficiency of the trade economy. (Similar to the invention of currency for humankind.)

Title: Allow More Than 3 Cards Traded At Once

Request Description: Since card values can be wildly disparate, 3 cards is often not enough room to negotiate a trade for even one single card. (e.g. Enemy of My Enemy is worth $30, most average rares are worth $2 to $5. It is thus impossible to trade an Enemy of My Enemy for any combination of lesser rares, because not enough of them will fit in the trade window to be worth it.)

Also, this limitation makes negotiating any large trade unwieldly.

Title: Create Public Trade Binder

Request Description: Allow users to put a subset of their owned cards into a "trade binder". This binder is publicly visible to other users, giving them more knowledge with which to make trade offers. This system would work hand-in-hand with the Improved Trade Interface request below.

Title: Improved Trade Interface

Request Description: Currently, the trading mechanics seem clunky. This is due to the user needing to know two pieces of information (what card they want and what card they will get back), when in real life trading, they usually only know one of those pieces of information, and then work together with the other trader to home in on the second. Since the current interface does not allow the homing in process, traders can be observed bypassing the trade interface by using the forums to agree on a trade.

A more natural trade process would use the Public Trade Binders (see previous issue) to start an auction-like process. The typical transaction would progress like so:

- User #1 searches database for a card they desire. Search returns a list of Trade Binders containing that card.

- User #1 selects the card in a particular Trade Binder and is taken to the auction-like sub-page.

- User #1 posts a trade offer from his own Trade Binder.

- User #2 logs in, notices that he has a trade offer waiting, and navigates to the auction-like sub-page.

- User #2 doesn't like the offered trade, thus he flips through User #1's Trade Binder to find something more to his liking.

- User #2 uses the system to rejects the offer, adding a comment of what he would be more willing to accept.

- User #1 is notified of the rejected offer, reads the attached comment, and posts a new offer containing User #2's suggested cards.

- User #2 accepts the offer and the trade occurs.

 

Note that this is mostly only required for allowing offline trading.  For trading between online members, an easier interface would use the existing chat rooms to negotiate the trades, and then new functionality of submitting a trade offer directly from the chat room.
