So, anytime I want to give a friend something or vice versa, we need to trade, and basically be online in some time window from each other. 8 hours is long, but if he needs something right now and I'm offline, and later he will log off and won't be able to use it for his purpose, we basically lose the benefit of mutual trade / support.
I'd like to allow friends or guild members to request and get resources from my stock even without me being online. For example, I'll allow my friend to take 200 of anything each day. Or, if my stock of marble is over 1500, anyone from guild can take the extra units.
This would also allow me "auto-trade" with him, so for example I let him take some 500 bronze daily and he will let me take 500 bread daily, without the need to be online at the same time or without the delay caused by it.
Additionally, this would make socializing between people more appealing and also satisfying, as I see it.
Instead of advertising each and every time you need something, you just set your "business-condition-relations" once and go on with other tasks. Could be seen as part of diplomacy pact or something, more immersion into the game is also good, right ?
Thoughts and further ideas are welcome.
