[tipx2012]

why is there no blocklist for trade office where you can add players, players
whose offers you don't want to see (something like there allready is for mailsystem)

i would like to see this happening, it could solve a lot problems like scamming for example

You can add players to your ignore list, you can block their mails, yet they can still buy you trade. This present a problem as part of the trade process could involve communication between buyers and sellers, if they brought your trade by mistake they now have no means of contacting you to resolve the situation. For this reason I support this idea.

It is not always possible to resolve problems, so I can understand why some players would like to block those they have had negative experiences with.
It could be about loot spot trading. If you have sold ls to players who then log off for 1 hour and come back and want money back, because you have finish adventure. I can understand why you want to avoid selling ls to the same player another time.

+1 for me also. I would like to block certain players from accepting my trades.

I don't consider it restricting if the players themselves they don't want offers accepted by particular players. That's an individual player's choice - it doesn't affect the market as a whole, only the particular player.

I doubt that it will affect the marked big time, that players block a few other players they have had a bad experience with. I doubt very much that it will affect the prices.

If you set your prices after the majority of offers in trade you will not get anything sold anyway, as most prices are ridiculous.

Whilst the tool itself may be in the control of the individual player, the individual player can be influenced to block others by other players `experiences'. What `control' is in place within this idea, for instance stopping one guild `banning' trade with players from another guild ?
The trade office is for all players to have access to all other players, we already have access to a restricted trade environment through friends list and guild and asking for one fish trades.
I think the balance we currently have is sufficient for a game and community such as this. I control the price of what I sell and can choose to buy from those selling at the price I wish to buy, and from whom I buy from. I'm not one for building walls and burning bridges, so I stand by my -1
