Tracking the Trades

There should be a method for tracking open/pending Trades. Once a trade is made and not accepted a question lingers regarding what happened? Is the offerer not available to accept the trade, did it get lost, what is happening?

Over the past several weeks, I have seen offers and responded by doing, "Send the Trade request", and I never have had any closure of the transaction. I don't have a record of the other player, so I can't whisper and ask, I have no closure on the trade being rejected, or if there is a software bug. It is just a bad situation when a transaction cannot be tracked or logged until it is closed - one way or another.

This needs consideration at least of a log with the trade records in there.

Thanks,

it's good idea to have record -
but i think they have like 24 hours limit ;p
so it'll expire after 24 hours

Expires after 24 hours. Seems rude, but often people make trades that are one time only. They just ignore failed trades.

Thanks for your responses. I understand the 24 hours. My question: How do you know your resources got returned?
