What’s the goal of Guild Wars 2? From my perspective, it’s to engage in group environments where you can excel and have hours of fun. However what if we took it further? We should allow players to trade between each other, in a neutral interface trade table, were players can put items up. Players who wish to trade between each other do this often by using the mailing system. The short coming to this is that you could get ripped off very easily. I plead to our community and ANet to allow us to have a fair player trade system that we can integrate into our great community and prosperous economy.

I would like to hear your opinions and how we, as a community, can further GW2’s goal for its players

Pretty sure this has been discussed already with official responses as well, someone should link them.

Good idea, Mr Someone.

Someone should also ask if there’s been any progress on getting a better search function for the forums, so it’s easier to find those responses.

((But seriously, I’m surprised you don’t have a collection of standard replies to the repeating questions/suggestions in a file somewhere, so you can just copy/paste them as needed.))

[Edit] PS: Short version is they’ve said no. But I’m too lazy to look up the actual postings for you. Just… trust me. They’ve said no.

If I needed someone else to be lazy I would have asked for that ><

Found it.

Using the trading post is a safer method of trading and simultaneously makes the game more robust. We believe that between mail and the trading post the game is much safer and still contains all the functionality needed.

As official responses to this matter have been given, there isn’t much left to say on this matter. Therefore, this thread is now closed.
