Bodomi #Ms. Lady Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Elitism? Laziness? I say: Why the fuck do you not just post your trade offer link? It benefits everyone involved, people that for a multitude of different reasons don't want to talk to people don't have to talk to you, the process is quicker. People will add you if they want to negotiate or talk regarding the trade.

Zeus_Junior Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Yes! Also "people like me that don't like people don't have to talk to you," <- same xxBonsai99xx and Bodomi #Ms. Lady 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happysedits Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I agree, would definitely help some people. xxBonsai99xx and Bodomi #Ms. Lady 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Change Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The only argument I could see against it is like those 2 bots which require adding. But those are a pain in the ass to use so generally people avoid them anyway, so what the fuck just do it. Bodomi #Ms. Lady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Teeny Tiny Cat Posted May 6, 2017 Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2017 Why? If people would rather be added to trade, that's up to them. You can just not buy/sell from them if you don't like it. TheWiz and Jacobmeister 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBro Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'd agree here. Many times I've had to add some clueless new trader and they'd say something like "Uhhh, cow mangler? I don't think I listed that, how do I know if its strange" Zeus_Junior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobmeister Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Gotta agree with Teeny - I do agree that it's quite clueless not to have a trade offer link set up, it's rather easy to do and is a lot quicker than adding someone and all that, but at the same time, I don't see why we should exclude people who don't have this set up.There's much bigger things to be worrying about, and 90% of people use trade offers anyway...

There's much bigger things to be worrying about, and 90% of people use trade offers anyway... Mostly new or inexperienced traders do not have their trade offer link set up yet, this would be a great way to quickly get them to understand what trade offers are, and to get people who think we are still in early 2013 to understand we're not anymore. Sometimes there's only 1 person selling an item and you have to add them because they do not have a trade offer link. They are offline, you wait... no response, you go to bed, they come online, you're offline, you wake up, they are offline... Yes, I know this very specific scenario probably doesn't happen all that often, but I think you get my point. Unnecessary nuisances like this can be avoided. No one will lose or suffer negatively due to this change, it can only do good as far as I am aware. I really don't see any reason to not implement this. On Outpost I can kind of understand why trade offer links are not a requirement, well... not really, as you can make comments on peoples trades.

Administrators Teeny Tiny Cat Posted May 8, 2017 Administrators Share Posted May 8, 2017 That's a rationale for a guide for how to setup your trade offer link, not a rationale for forcing people to use trade offers when some of them simply don't want to.
