Overall, I do think the new trade system is good, and needed.
The problem lies in the 24 hour wait period for trading with a "new" friend.
First off, this is going to force people to use the Trade Interface for selling loot spots and bulk deals from Auctions. Basically, there is a workaround for both Loot Spots and Bulk Trades/Auctions, and can be done to avoid the 24 hour cooldown.... below is an example
John Auctions/Trades on a global tab, Selling 20,000 coal.... I want 200 gc from it
Ed agrees to the deal, but since they are not currently friends, the only way for them to make this trade and not have to wait 1 day is to put up crappy looking trades in the Trade Interface.
John posts a trade "Paying 1 fish for 200 gold coins"
Ed posts a trade "Paying 1 fish for 20,000 coal"
Both people get their goods, problem solved.
As for loot spots, it works the same way
John is selling a Black Knights loot spot for 1200 gold coins
Ed tells him that he will buy it. John invites him to be a friend, then sends him an adventure invite.
John then posts a trade in the Trade Interface "1 fish for 1200 gold coins"
Again problem solved
BUT.... there is a problem still!
You have eliminated 1 type of scam, only to create all new ways for people to scam!
Using scenarios above....
John sells 20k coal to Ed for 200 gold coins
John posts the same trade as above in the Trade Interface "offering 1 fish for 200gc"
Ed accepts and posts his trade "offering 1 fish for 20,000 coal"
John just decided to keep his coal, and go about his day
Ed gets hosed
Same thing with the loot spot
John goes to sell a Black Knights Loot spot for 1200 gold coins
Ed tells John, I will buy it
John invites Ed as a friend, and posts a trade "offering 1 fish for 1200 gold coins"
Ed accepts, then never gets the adventure invite, and John just goes about his day
So basically, your getting rid of a scam to create other scams
Not very well thought out BB
