Back then people constantly recommended trading weapons between players. This wouldnt of course be possible considering the fact that back then we had enhancements. But now in our good old Omega society it really doesnt make a difference in the weapons. It just matters on the look and if there energy or physical. So now im recommended it. Trading would only be allowed if the person is on your buddy list. And the way it would be traded is a machine like the bank but its for trading. [sm=zorb_smilie.gif][sm=zorb_smilie.gif]

Devs have already said trading will never happen, and this applies to all AE Games as well.



darkcyberx20 -> RE: Trading in EPICDUEL! (11/30/2013 8:45:10)

Tranks, i dont understand why. Because it doesnt even matter on the weapons anymore so whats really the point



Ranloth -> RE: Trading in EPICDUEL! (11/30/2013 8:56:42)

Security issues. This isn't up for discussion since it was already said it's not going to happen under any circumstances. And as I've already said, that's for all AE Games.

What Trans said is listed under the Suggestion Forums under the Frequently Suggested section. Essentially, it is not feasible and compromises account safety.



Remorse -> RE: Trading in EPICDUEL! (11/30/2013 9:35:35)

@ Trans,


I also remember them saying that they would never ever buff rares agian, yet here we are in omega were all rares are technically buffed by the fact all weapons are potentially equal in power.




Circumstances change, and therefore I think trading in some form, whether it be through an unbreakable method security wise, could be a possibility.

Some times we need to not take to heart every single thing the devs say, they obviously don't won't us to, and it is why they insist on never giving details on releases before they occur which is fine.

Honestly it is like the devs have taken your ability to have you own opinion.

It has always surprised me how Artix Entertainment are against all form of trading, when pretty much every online game has this option availible.

Sure, there is a slight possibility you get scammed or hacked, and thus lose valuable items. I was hacked myself in Runescape as a kid, only because I was dumb enough to give away my password to a stranger who promised he'd help me finish an event. This was solely my fault, not the developers, though I understand that kids can easily be tricked just like I was.

Then again there is a possibility both your e-mail, Artix account and Epic Duel account get hacked and have their password changed, too. I don't really see the difference.

Worth to mention, Oversoul is supposedly meant to aim for an older audience, yet its gameplay is surprisingly simple compared to Epic Duel's. There's not much tactic involved, just charging up and hope for a good combo. I personally don't believe there are that many kids playing Epic Duel as there are older players, because of all the strategy. So in my opinion, ED is already built around having older players because they actually understand how to play. So why wouldn't a trading system be plausible if most of the players are older than 13?

@ remorse

Unlike with that AE themselves are against item trading and last i checked AE are the bosses of the epic duel staff. So in all honestly this isn't even an epic duel staff thing, but an AE thing. unless AE changes their minds about this the staff can't do anything about it.

@ martinsen

While that might be true, the audience for the game are actually children believe it or not. Not everyone is smart enough to know when they are getting scammed or not. Plus if they get scammed or hacked then their goes their entire inventory. Items that can be sold will be sold or traded, and those that can't be sold will be traded away. The loss of items has happened in the past and those who got scammed or hacked will complain trying to get their items back.

Plus as I mentioned before unless AE changes their policy about trading there is nothing the ED staff can do about it no matter how much the players debate about it.



martinsen5 -> RE: Trading in EPICDUEL! (11/30/2013 13:02:38)

@Mother1, I'm aware they don't approve of trading, and I don't see it happening any time soon, if at all. I just fail to grasp as to why, because quite frankly scamming and hacking is a poor excuse, but what can you do.



Chosen 0ne -> RE: Trading in EPICDUEL! (11/30/2013 13:18:54)

But wouldnt the other person hacking have to trade something too? Trading really would make EpicDuel fun. It would give rare items more value. Maybe it should require a 2nd password to trade.



martinsen5 -> RE: Trading in EPICDUEL! (11/30/2013 13:44:33)

@Chosen 0ne, They'd give you a skull or something equally useless for a rare item. About a trade password, I had that thought once too, but again what difference is there between a hacker knowing your Artix account + ED password, and your ED password + trade password.

Edit: For a while there was a trading system in Runescape where basically the other player had to trade something back of equal value or rarity if you will. It was reversed as many players including old veterans complained or quit the game. Not an optimal solution.



Chosen 0ne -> RE: Trading in EPICDUEL! (11/30/2013 13:52:29)

We are not runescape though. We DO need things traded to have fair value. Also, if a hacker asks for your trading password, why would you give it to him? Thats where it becomes obvious he's gonna do something bad.



Mother1 -> RE: Trading in EPICDUEL! (11/30/2013 14:13:52)

@ chosen

there is a difference between a hacker and scammer. A scammer would ask for your password where as a hacker would just crack it without asking for it.

Also you have to remember not everyone thinks like this. While you might see this as an obvious scam, someone else might not. Remember we do have kids playing this game and not all of them are smart enough to catch this. Heck even some adults are fooled by scams and those who are it would cause problems for everyone.



Lycus -> RE: Trading in EPICDUEL! (11/30/2013 14:51:08)

I'm locking this up for multiple reasons:
  • This is a suggestion and belongs in the suggestion section - please remember this for future reference.
  • Trade will not be coming to EpicDuel.
  • This will inevitably lead to a discussion on scamming and hacking, as can already be seen, which is not a discussion wanted!

    Even with the suggestions of passwords and so on as safety precautions against scamming from happening, it will still happen. At the end of the day, so many problems would arise from the introduction of trading, including scamming and so on, it would just be a nightmare for player support to say the very least. There are many other issues which I have highlighted multiple times in previous topics suggesting this and it all simply arises to the cons completely outweighing the pros. I understand that some people want to see this in EpicDuel, but we put player safety as a high priority and this suggestions would compromise that more than we would be willing to allow! Due to this, the simply answer is that this will not be happening, not now, not before and not in the future.
