i know a mod might think this should be in the game suggestions or enhancment forum but i wanted to get an opinion of what players want and then post a suggestion based on the result. i hope this is ok with you.
so for those that dont play chaos, firstly shame on you and secondly it works like this,
say you wanted to sell 10k uu for 2bil naq or whatever anount you want, you enter your deal and the uu are taken off you and put on the market and then other players can browse the deals and buy one and there naq is sent to you and your uu is sent to them by the system,
no chance of being scammed and less chance of being farmed or raided when doing a deal.
i love the market in chaos and i think it would be great in main,
what do you all think?

I reckon it would help against scammers, but I prefer the main black market, cos its not just click on something, you post, you meet someone you chat, you bargain, then you trade, much more sociable.

Great system, but too few deals to be had. With the size of main you would need at least 100 deals per page.
I would still like to keep the ability to send, just because I have a friend who also plays the game and I will send him 50 million Naq to do this or that for me. For example-
Someone- "Felix go turn the light off."
Me- "Hey Jeremy, 50 million Naq if you turn the lights off."
It is a good system.

i agree that you should still be able to send stuff to others just like it is now, and yes it is a lot of fun talking to people on msn but there would be a lot more people trading if this safe method were in place to use if you wanted.

Well unless measures were taken to stop certain IPs from buying goods placed on the market by the same IP one could easily Get one multi account to put say 20K of UU up for 1 naq and quickly log into the other account and buy it.
An automated buyer would be a nice touch. Searching for "Strange" selling and buying patterns and then auto buying it and adding it to the cosmic market. Many an annoyed Multi methinks but perhaps a few annoyed Commanders if it was a little to zealous in its purchases.
Just gave it away

O yeah forgot about that, But some people have two computers such as my friend from school....Wait, is the IP according to the computer or the internet connection?

Thing is that there is a delay of a couple of hours added to the market so it would be far harder to do it.

Why would you need 100 deals per page? it shows the best five, you'd have to be pretty dumb not to take the best deal.
