Item Trade Forum

Since trading is a common activity in this game and it becomes very inefficient to use the AH for expensive sales, I was wondering if it would just make it easier for everyone if a trade forum was established so that one could post their sales or proposed trades in one place where anyone looking to trade could find it. This would eliminate the unproductive and quite boring "stand and spam" technique commonly utilized in PE to find trades. It would also make it easier to find older trade offers if a person couldn't stay in game, or offers that may have been missed amongst the spam. A trade forum is common in most other games in order to help organize and make trading easier.

What do you guys think?

    this has been discussed with the community staff and it's not something we want to add at this time. there's a lot of issues that arise from having forum trading... probably the biggest one would be people accusing each other of scams and blacklisting. at the forum level, we certainly wouldn't allow that to happen as there is no way for us to prove it or do anything about it. for the time being, trading will just need to stay in-game.

    That's too bad, I think the pro's outweigh the con's in this case. The non-stop "spam" of lfg and trade in pe makes it where I have to setup seperate tabs just to be able to read what people type and replying to someone that has something is a game of whack a mole to click the right name before it scrolls up.

    The devs established a dedicated/official trade channel already...
