Trade channel

hotshot64 · 03-08-2011, 09:22 PM

I know it's been suggested a few times, I'll try again. Full page ads for things no one will buy every 5 seconds in civil gets pretty annoying for most of us, and a trade channel would make things so much more efficient for both buyers and sellers as well.

Weirdgus · 03-08-2011, 09:24 PM

I think this is a bad idea and shouldn't be introduced.

But since it's daer: I don't really care either way .

a help channel would make it easier to help noobs, would also mean they can see our responses with having to scroll back heaps cause of sudden spam messages (like recruitment messages)

While we are at it, we can discuss the other issue from a couple of threads below. There should be a "What song are you listening to right now" channel. Would make it so much easier to not see that everyone is listening to Justing Bieber.

Oh yeah, support for the actual idea of the thread. However, if too many new chats are added, all their chat boxes should be separable, and a new section has to be added to the interface either to the left or to the right of the current java window (I assume to the left would be best). Otherwise it's all pointless and chaotic.

This suggestion is not needed.

Smashbros · 04-10-2011, 06:49 AM

i feel that it is needed.

as it is civil is meant for idle chatter, aswell as helping people with information. alot of the time, i myself, and others, will miss questions asked by people, as someone will post their message that fills the chat box, and then 3 or 4 others will follow it all at the same time.

i myself do it aswell with recruitment messages.

a channel dedicated to buying/selling and clan recruitment would be ideal for everyone, and would give those that dont want to buy/sell anything or join a clan, a chance to chat freely.

would also mean that those that are civil banned, would be able to recruit/trade freely in the trade channel.

Thomas Jordan · 04-10-2011, 07:36 AM

The counter to your argument is that "civil" is meant for Nodiatis related topics. While idle chat as you suggested is fine, the "what music I am listening to," the hour long rants about "why I hate babies," and the lengthy conversations about "how do I complete a certain quest in World of Warcraft" all detract from conversations about Nod and do far more to get in the way of Nod discussions than do folks asking for help, trying to buy or sell something, or recruiting for a clan.

Trading, recruiting, asking for help all belong in civil.

A new channel for those topics is not required.

Roeth · 04-10-2011, 08:48 AM

I've got to agree with TJ.

Do bear in mind that Nod doesn't have the biggest playerbase in the world. The more channels there are, the fewer people there will be in each channel. You'd be likely to get 100 or fewer people in 'trade' most of whom will probably be sellers. Buyers will be looking on AH, and pm'ing people with stuff for sale, to try to do deals.

It's the same with 'clan recruit' chat - let's face it, anyone half-decent gets offered a clan spot pretty quickly, so that chat would be full of people looking for recruits.

hotshot64 · 04-10-2011, 01:26 PM

Once again I find myself wondering why a certain person pops in to claim my idea has no merit, when the same thing has been posted by other people and was left alone. look, if you want to troll, that's fine. If you don't like me, that's fine. If you're bitter that I fought every one of your "buff me" threads, that's fine. But keep your e-peen in your pants if you're not going to be honest about what you're doing.

as for the fact that the recruit/trade channels would mostly be full of people selling or recruiting...that's kind of the point. Civil right now is full of recruiting ads that are a full page long for clans that all offer the same things. One person posts and it reminds 20 other people to post and before you know it we have 20 pages scroll by in 10 seconds. I doubt anyone who isn't looking for a clan has any need to see clan recruit messages, so put them in their own channel, and anyone who isn't interested can simply turn it off. Same with trade, if I want something I buy it from the ah, from a friend, or rarely from chat. So if I was interested, I'd turn the trade channel on. If I left it off, people could spam ads to their heart's content without pissing people off.

Let's face it. It really doesn't matter how many people would watch those channels, the fact remains, if you're not looking for a clan, you're not going to pay attention to those ads anyway. You'd be able to be in all channels at once btw.

Fixed it and support the fixed version.

EDIT:

Stop trying to take shots at folks. The trade messages and recruitments never annoyed me but your chatting often does. Should we make a separate channel for you on that basis ?

I have nothing against this suggestion. I am just trying to point out that you can not create a separate channel just because something is annoying to someone else.

Look. You can post whatever you want. But when you post something on these forums, other people will come by and offer their opinion on the topic. Attacks like this one:

are not warranted. I did not agree with this idea from the moment that I saw it. But I was not going to post here. The paragraph quoted above is the reason that I posted in this thread. Stop trying to start things with other people.

And you know that your post was aimed at me. You basically asked for my input.

As far as everything else is concerned:

Ok fine. I say buff me plox. Great. We already established that. Why do you keep repeating it ? I have my archery and bm skills at my lvl or higher and I think that it sucks. That is my opinion. I am entitled to my opinion. You are entitled to yours.

And I can throw your question right back at you too:

Have you ever posted anything on these forums that wasn't a paranoid schizophrenic whine fest: "OMG a game change is being made and I won't be able to keep up. Don't change the game --- whine whine whine"

That is pretty much all I see whenever I read your posts.

EDIT:

Your sole point here seems to be this: recruitment messages and sales messages annoy me so please make a separate channel for them.

I have nothing against this except that there is no need for it. If annoyance is the basis for chat creation, then recruitment messages and trading related messages do not annoy me at all. But I would love for you to be given a separate chat channel of your own. We can even call it Daerville or Comedy central.

Also, if a channel like this is created, who enforces that people advertise only in this channel. Do we squelch people for advertising in the other channels. Do we issue permabans for advertising in other channels ?

hotshot64 · 04-10-2011, 07:23 PM

That was aimed at TJ Mr. Ego

Trojan · 04-10-2011, 08:22 PM

This would also be a good place for people that actually have some experience to help low level players without stupid ass responses from random people in the "civil" chat.

Example : Noob: Where should i farm at?
Smartass : Preferably somewhere were you can grow stuff.

UNCOOL

Carava · 09-08-2011, 05:10 AM

Trade Channel o.O? we don't need no Trade channel if we already got the Auction House in Nodiatis and in General Discussion O.o

This is why we have Civil or Forums to post for trades

Besides, depends on how you Market

P.S.
just incase you can't read this whole message remember to make sure it's in "iskinblack" as the feature is located near the bottom right of this thread page o.O
