2 pet trading sections?

Post by Lysi » October 19th, 2012, 1:18 pm

I'm seeing a couple kinds of confusion in the trading section. There are people who just didn't remember to put their region in the thread title. But also, some people new to the this forum, don't realize they can trade on any realm in their region by quickly making an alt.

I'm wondering if it would be easier for people if the pet trading had a separate section? Between the "WarcraftPets" forum section and the "Off Topic" forum section would sit a "Pet Trades" section, and there would be 2 forums under that titled something like Trades on European Realms and Trades on Americas/Oceanic Realms. I don't know if you'd want a general trade forum as well, maybe a section for rules and q&a or something, or they could just post in one or the other no matter the topic.

The one sentence forum description under the two trade forums could make the reason clear, and let people know they can trade on other servers now. Maybe something like, "Trade pets on any server in your region, by making a temporary alt."

Not a bad idea, Lysi. How do other people feel about this?

I find the idea Lysi has quite good, and if it's possible, you guys should follow it through Breanni.

This thread didn't get much attention, but I think a lot of people just don't read the suggestions section. Now that trading is really picking up, I think it would be even more helpful to have 2 sections.

Agree with Lysi 100%.

If the site had both a America/Oceanic and a EU section that would take all the miscommunication out of people tring to trade. I see alot of post with people Trading and not putting which Geographical location they are in.

The only thing would be getting people to post in the correct location.

I love this idea.

For me, not a lot that's more disappointing than finding out belatedly that a sought-after pet's on EU!

I think 2 sections would be great! I know I was even guilty of not putting US in the headlines at first.

yeh i think this would be great i kept posting for people to put up where they were from etc but it seems to gone out of the window atm, personally a great idea. maybe also a separate page as well specifically for traders as such to and those who are just playing for fun and want easy swops..and deal with just pet swops and not traders if that makes sense since there seem to be a few around now alot of the smaller pet swap posts seems to be vanishing in the midst of it all.
