LMaD stands for Let's Make a Deal, and we've recently been limited to only buying and selling ROBLOX made deals, which limits us from trading items. Someone could buy an item for a cheap price then wait for it to raise, then he could trade that item for something of relatively the same value. That's what the trading system is for.

But, I recently tried out the trading system on sitetest3 and I thought users might want more in it.

First, there's only four trading boxes. I find a problem in this. A lot of users will do big trades. For example, say someone has a Dominus Empyreus and they want a lot of expensive items for it. Say you have eight expensive items that total up to the cost of the Dominus Empyreus. You can't put in those eight items for the Dominus Empyreus, so the trade is broken.

Another fault with that is that if it's a big trade, items might be taken unfairly. For example, if the person with the Dominus Empyreus says "give me four of your expensive items first, then i'll give you my dominus for your other four" the owner could unfairly take the first four and not complete the deal. So, adding more space to the trades could prevent the stealing of items.

Second, a lot of people say "i'll give you 30k + these items for your item." This would make it easier to get items. A lot easier. However, there's no way to give items and ROBUX without the risk of being ripped off. The person promising to give the ROBUX could not give it, and the person promising to give his item for another item + ROBUX could take the ROBUX first and not complete the trade. Then the player could go home unhappy, as he just lost 30k.

So basically, a fair way of doing trades with ROBUX is being able to add ROBUX to the trade. Here's how we can do this:

If you click an empty box, you have the ability to type into it. You will type the ROBUX amount you are giving for the other person's item(s).

So, say I was trading my Bluesteel Domino Crown + 20k ROBUX for someone's Dominus Messor.

I'd click an empty box, a text box would appear and I'd type in "20000". It would appear as R$20000 after I am done typing and insert my next item. He'd put in his Dominus Messor, and we'd trade. Nobody loses their items, no complicated t-shirt buying, item selling, or anything like that. Easy as pie.

In conclusion, the Trading System would be easier to use, more efficient, and less likely to have users lose their items if these features were added: more space to put in items, and the ability to put ROBUX into the trading system.



I posted this thread here because this forum focuses on the TS more than other forums, and I was hoping you all could read this over and give me your feedback on it so I could improve it, or add some more things to this. I also hope that this gets enough attention that a person developing the trading system can see that an entire forum likes an idea so much that it would benefit them, so they'd add these features onto the TS, giving us 2 more options that would be helpful in our everyday trading lives on ROBLOX.



Thanks,

@Nooooooo

An idea cannot be determined good or bad unless it is understood.

To understand a text, you have to read it first.

If they allowed the addition of Robux to a trade, people would be so picky about getting the right price that it would take days just to get a decent trade.

It would also prevent the stealing of items.

@RetroHat

Here's a summary.


In conclusion, the Trading System would be easier to use, more efficient, and less likely to have users lose their items if these features were added: more space to put in items, and the ability to put ROBUX into the trading system.
