Trade List with What You Would Trade For.

Post by Goldash » March 3rd, 2014, 9:26 pm

I would like a system where you could list the pets you have to trade and what you would trade for, that then does matching against others.
Something like what WoWhead has done with this listing option: http://www.wowhead.com/list
Only add what you would trade for aswell.

I am not sure how easy it would be to implement something like this but it would be much better than the current Forum setup for matching people up to trade pets.

Examples:
I have:
-Living Sandling
I would trade it for:
-Ji-Kun Hatchling
-Gooey Sha-ling

I have:
-Toxic Wasteling
I would trade it for:
-Sinister Squashling
-Tuskarr Kite
-Flawless Battle Stone
-Pet Leveling 25

Once you have entered these details you could look through a list of pets you have made and see matches for people who want to trade the same vice versa.

It may be worth having a limit on the amount of things you would trade for, 10-15 for example to limit people saying Sinister Squashling for 599 other pets.

Yes, we have a couple of ideas for a "Pet Trading Post" along these lines. We will hopefully have something together in time for the next expansion.

Awesome, look forward to seeing what you end up with.

The matching part of it seems to be the biggest problem with the current forum post system atm.

I'm trying to contain myself from reposting but pretty keen on seeing this kind of thing implemented and always watching news to see whats happening in the pet wow.

I think it will be the cornerstone of our next big round of updates, but we want to see what happens with pet collecting / battling in WoD before committing to a particular system. I would say it's probably 4-6 months off at this point.
