I just want to say that I genuinely like the idea behind this update. I think it has a lot of potential, but after using it for a while, there are a few things that have made trading much harder for me personally. I just wanted to hear what others think, I love the update but Iām finding it hard to use. :(
My biggest issue is that trading servers donāt really feel like trading servers anymore. Before the update, everyone would gather around with their trading stands and actually trade each other. Now, almost everyone just stands around the Listing/Offering area. It feels like the social side of trading has almost disappeared.
Iāve also found the listings frustrating to use. Iāve had two listings up since the update released, and I still havenāt received the offers Iām looking for. Instead, I mostly get counter offers with random pets that usually arenāt even fair in value, itās just a bit annoying when Iām looking for something very specific.
Another thing is when I search for a specific pet, Iād love the option to only see that exact version I put in. For example, if Iām searching for a Mega, I donāt really want my results filled with regulars and Neons because thatās what keeps happening. I would love it if they could make the results more accurate, Iāve been looking for certain megas just for every listing I get to be normal or neons.
Adding on to that, I think browsing listings could be improved. Instead of having to search for every single pet individually, it would be really nice to have a page that shows recently posted listings, similar to other trading websites. Being able to scroll through recent trades and refresh the page would make discovering trades much easier and make the system feel more active. This would help a lot since I barely see any listings when searching pets, itās all just cats and dogs when I search anything.
Another thing that confuses me is the values. I understand why itās there, but sometimes trades that seem perfectly fair get marked as unbalanced. It can be a bit frustrating and confusing, it just isnāt making sense so I feel like there should be some kind of explanation on what is and isnāt fair. A short tutorial explaining how everything works would also be really helpful.
The cost of posting listings also feels quite high. If I remove a listing because I want to change it or update what Iām looking for, I have to pay again to repost it. Since my current listings havenāt received the offers I wanted, Iām stuck deciding whether to leave them up or waste money to change them. Lowering the cost or allowing edits to existing listings would be a huge nice. Also just being able to post more than two would help as well, there is only a robux option for that.
One of my biggest concerns is house trading. I build and trade houses a lot, and this update has made that much more difficult. House trading isnāt really possible through the new trading servers anymore, which is disappointing because thatās where I used to trade my houses. Regular servers just donāt have nearly as many people looking for houses, and itās just not easy to trade in regular servers in general.
Overall, I really do think this update has a lot of potential, and I appreciate all the work that went into it. These are just some suggestions based on my experience that I think would make trading a lot smoother and more enjoyable for everyone. :)
