Actually is limited.
Token users can trade 30 items/month. But can’t trade silver.
Trade should be free for everyone in the same way (with no silver).
Not being able to trade silver is a major drawback too.
In the previous MMORPG I played, I would often sell some items to guildies for like 3/4 of the market price, simply by trading them.
But in ToS? You can either give those items for free, not give them at all, or put them in AH with the high risk of some other player buying it before your guildie does, especially since the items appear with random delay on the market.
How much more anti-social can MMORPG get?

IMC needs to come look at these threads we have going up, there are a lot of people who agree that the way the AH and trade works is just not fair, and there is alot of good feedback on what can be done to make it better.
I think we should be able to trade silver too, i dont see the reason why not. If the reasoning behind is to prevent silver sellers then the restriction just hurts us more then it hurts them really. There are better ways to deal with RMT then blocking players from basic game features.
This game feels ultra anti-social at the moment, it doesn’t reward you for social group play. Kinda off-topic but even the dungeon’s reward you more exp for queuing rather then going with your own group of friends. Which is also strange, but that is something best discussed in another topic not to derail this one.

@robofawn, you are right in all the points.
But delete silver trade is the “easiest and cheaper way” for an incompetent company like IMC.
Can very well be so that its the cheapest way for IMC to deal with them, but there are better ways that will benefit their game in the long run. I just believe they are capable enough to do something about the silver sellers.

Even if they ignore the bots and the game become completely chaos, it would still be better than the current state of the game.
You want to know what can stop–or at least push back–bots?
- A healthy player population that cares enough to report any bots they find
- A staff team to read those reports and act on them.
And NOTHING else. No other hoops, loops or bounces can harm them. You can’t automate the system. It needs people.
And, way I see it, right now, ToS has one of those but not the other. And if it keeps heading the direction it’s going, soon it won’t have either.
Just my two cents.

Please, do not let this thread die! It’s one of the most complete ones out there.
It won’t die. I’ll probably just get into the habit of bumping it if nothing new pops in here.

I’ll do the same. At least until this issue is properly resolved.

Totally. Trading makes socialization with friends that much easier and fun.

And at what cost? This is only going to annoy and inconvenience real players. Imagine pulling monsters for aoe or fighting some boss and then suddenly this huge captcha locks your character. Why do real players always have to suffer? Just get a real gm enforcement team to ban bots on request by players report. It’s not hard to setup one guy with four screens to monitor each server.

Also gonna come here to bump the thread every once in a while. I want this issue to be fixed, i really can’t recommend this game to some of my friends because of how the game is now, i just dont think they would have fun in a game like this. Trading is such a important part of the mmo experience.

Good collective of all the stuff behind this trade fiasco

You know how epic a guild war this would be if everybody here were in opposing guilds?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
EDIT: My thoughts.
Yeah, putting the restrictions on this stuff doesn’t make sense to me. The good people who work at IMC probably know how bad RMT bots can be. They’re like pissants: squash one, four more come. Squash them, eight more appear.
So putting the restrictions on trade didn’t seem to work. What’s your next move, IMC? How do you kill a nest of ants?
I’m thinking of a bait station. Can you guys do something in the form of an ant bait station? Something foolproof? use your imaginations…
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Going to continue keeping this incredibly important issue at the top.
Most certainly the server/lag issues are more pressing, but this needs to stay in the forefront of IMCs vision.

Allow the trade!
This topic needs to be at the top
Coming back for a daily bump, keep this topic alive and well! We need free trade for all in this game! Lag/server issues is top priority, but like @God_Almighty said this issue needs to also been in IMCs to do list. It’s good to fix the lag and such, but is everyone really working on that one issue? They don’t have people to spare to give us a heads up that they are looking into the trading issue?
