Global Station Improvements ~

Post by Umbreon Shadowfire »

Both simple ideas one is that you have a small square or something to tell you how many trades you have left today ,
my other idea a trade boost button lets say a button on your trades that says boost and when pressed it raises to the top maybe you can use it 3 times every 3 hours ?

1. Personally I don't need it. When my trades for a day are used, then I get my notice of that and that's it ^^'

2. Well... no. I see a server crash incomig. When you can boost your trades, everyone will do it constantly and nothing would really change... except that the server would need to work more...


Don't be mad, but I'm not fond of both ideas. Maybe others see it differently?

I personally like my first idea as sometimes i dont know timezones on this game and i dont know how many more trades i have left , my other one you may be right xD its just as soon as a trade is off the first page i feel as though 90% of users wont bother going through about 4 pages to hunt em out ~

I don't really see it differently. It's already stated in the rules that bumping is not appreciated, so that won't be an option, plus it would be a total chaos. Let's say you have 10 trades displayed from 10 different people... then someone other would upload a trade so that the first one would land on page 2. Then he bumps his, so the second one lands on page 2. This one would bump too, leading number 3 to land on the second page and so on. It would be endless.

From time to time we have big clean-outs, where all trades in GTS will be deleted... (though I don't know when the last was xD)

Yasha, The last clean-up was around May 18, 2013 : 12:24 pm (the oldest trade).

Auto-clean-up of GTS all 30 or 60 days would be appreciated - from my point of view. :D

Hmm... It would be better if it cleaned itself out once every three months, that's probably what we need.
But the bumping would just have the same effect as now since everyone will be fighting to be first on the list.
