As for this idea, it's certainly very interesting and something that may be good to discuss as a team. However, there are a lot of issues I can see from this straight away. Firstly, rares are rares for various reasons, either they cannot be bought anymore, and never will be able to be bought again; they can only be bought at a certain time in the year, or they can only be bought when in stock. Setting up a market where all these can be sold at any time would lead to a lack of meaning in a lot of these and a lot of confusion. Accounts made in Gamma, with Beta Weapons; none-founder accounts with Founder Armour; accounts made in Delta with Alpha weapons. There are a lot more examples, however, I think you get the idea. This kind of thing has been suggested before and the same thing will be said. The above scenarios are things we don't want and will not allow. The only way to implement this kind of system is to restrict any items like that from being sold, and that kind of destroys the purpose of the whole idea.

Secondly, most rares are already sellable, those rares that aren't are the ones most people end up emailing in saying 'I accidently sold this, please can I have it back'. If the whole idea is to allow others to buy them, I've already listed the issues with that above. Not only that, but allowing people to buy seasonal rares any time of the year makes it meaningless.

As you can see, there are quite a lot of cons that could come out of this, including scamming issues. So it's a good idea, but one that has a lot on both sides of the arguments and has to be thought about due to that.

Blaze The Aion Ender: I have seen this system in a game called bots
The person would say "I put up the items, click confirm" when clearly, he didn't
You then clicked confirm, then they would quickly press "show" then "confirm", taking your items that you put up to "trade" They got scammed, because of stupidity, and I guarantee, the younger, less intelligent of our players who got their parents to buy them tons of varium, would lose it all in a span of 3 mins

1. Scamming. This is the major reason that it's not getting implemented.
2. Fairness. It would be a major time waster for the devs to implement this AND make it so people aren't getting ripped off all the time. The majority of AE players are pretty young. It's not like everyone here is full grown adults who speak perfect english and know better than to trust people online(and not even then is it guaranteed that you won't get scammed).
3. The Help Team. They get swamped as it is with just helping people get their accounts back, let alone people getting scammed almost daily from weapon trading.
4. Balance. How does this affect balance? Trade over your outdated gear from your main account into an alt and you just got a free weapon and now have an advantage over everyone else who doesn't have a main account with great gear to trade with.
