[Feature Request] Trading from chat should be easier

PC General Discussion

There’s no way trading should be such a process:

  1. Click name in chat
  2. Add Friend
  3. Invite to Party
  4. Teleport to party

There should just be an invite to trade option.

  1. Click name > Invite to Trade
  2. Party accepts, portal opens to both players
  3. Loading screen to a trading town / space.
  • 5 minute “Invite to Trade” cooldown to prevent abuse
  • Trading world timer to prevent idling

The above would just be an easy bare minimum to make trading easier.

On Console you could keep track recent users who linked items in chat. A menu would allow them to Initiate a Trade.

We could take the idea further and make this world only accessible at X level. Make a Loot Goblin quest where you follow it through their gold portal. The timer would be damage “mist” closing in on the open portal that eventually closes completely closing the portal and killing the player forcing them to respawn. The world being an “in-between” land that the Loot Goblin goes through to get to wherever they going. Discovering this land now gives you access to Initiate a Trade with a player.

Free idea, run with it. Just make the trading process easier.

in trade chat you dont have to add friend. you can just invite to party

This is not always the case, sometimes that option just isn’t available. Players can turn off party invite via their settings. Also, what if they’re already in a party and that party is full?

How bout I can just invite someone without having to friend them. It’s really annoying

Some people you can already do that with. It’s the people that have disabled the party invites in their settings in which you can’t just party with them.
