Looking for some opinions...

[Tmoe]

Looks great! Would help with all the account trades etc. and stop the people spamming everything thread offering things you said you weren't accepting, for example, offering an account when you said "Paypal only."
I like the idea.

 

[CrazeD]

I like it, but I'm so used to the old system haha. I'll have to get used to it. Anyways, it looks great really good job Matthew.

 

I just did a quick update. Now, above the account picture, there's a small box. You can click discussions and see a fake/sample thread.

We could do something like this where the account listing is one page and a thread-based discussion is on another tab. (but they link to each other in the little box)

Thoughts?

It really does look great, Matt. It'll definitely take some adjusting, but like R2P said, the search feature really can help. I don't really have any suggestions, but I wanted to share I thought it looked great.

I'm glad you were honest about this because this is the kind of feedback we need! I'm just wondering if you could elaborate more... Why do you think it would make trading harder?

Basically, people on this thread are saying "Umg, prity pikcha luk so gud, naise werk mattU". I really don't see the need for something like this.

1) You asked why it would make trading harder, it wouldn't make it harder just more complex. When people open a thread, they have the title, pictures of account, the trust level of the person they're trading, and the offers that have been made, all in the one window. In your current system, there's no contact details, you have to click to see the user, you have to click to see the discussion.

2) The thread system is what makes sythe unique from other runescape selling/trading sites. If we made an integrated system, I'd see no difference between this site and say, Usfine or Gold4rs.

Hope my feedback helped a little.

To the people who would miss the "browse-freely" feel, that's where my suggestion comes in. If you Matthew, could implent a formular, that would sort characters by stats, into categories, like: Tank, skiller, pure, main.

Then you could browse by category? Like we do now..? (Except the retards who keep posting their mains in the pure section)

 

[pie4muh]

what if your like selling a rsc account? with scythe and like rare name. would that fit in?

That's definitely possible. I can either let people pick a category or choose it automatically based on the stats. Once we have all of this data we can do a lot of cool things!

Well you have valid points but please keep in mind what I'm linking to in my first post is purely a preview. The purpose of this thread is to gain feedback and suggestions so I can revise it and improve it.

Adding contact information is a very valuable suggestion and I'll definitely add that in the next version. This way you'll have a page for account info with information about the user and also another page with the discussion and the same information about the user.

Technically speaking, it is possible to let users choose their interface. For example, you may choose to have everything displayed on one page while someone else may choose to have it split up. We could even go as far as making the different boxes drag-and-droppable so you can create your own interface. There really are a lot of possibilities.

what if your like selling a rsc account? with scythe and like rare name. would that fit in?

I never even thought of RSC. I'll have to look into what's different about RSC and RS2 to see if I can adjust the system to accommodate both. Thanks for bringing that up!


I'll probably release another update in a day or two with some of the suggestions I've seen. It's exam week for me at school so it's quite the busy week!

The problem would occur when you enter markets that don't include RuneScape (Xbox\Real Life\etc).

Also, you run into the issue with certain things like skill training, and 'rare names'.

It could help spice up certain parts of the market (assuming the members use it the correct way).

I say try and avoid complexity (someone isn't really going to post 400+ items that is included in the account) because members will try and cut corners just to get threads up.

Just my thoughts.

A few responses to your points:

1. We'd probably only use this new system for RuneScape account sales. It wouldn't affect the other markets.

2. Like I said above, this wouldn't be used for things like skill training. With rare names, people can list accounts using this system the same way as any other account but we could add an option to show a thing that says "This account has a rare name!" or something. Another item I'll add to my list for the next round of revisions.

3. I don't expect people to fill in every item they have... That section is mainly for items worth mentioning. Things like god swords, high level armor, etc. I doubt anyone will care if they have a tinder box ;-)

This seems like a great idea...

As for integrating it into the forums and keeping people happy...

If you set up this system and such... It could be just like the demo you made, but you could also create a thread in the section in the market with all this info also. The discussion on the system could also be linked into the forums...

Then people can still just go through the forums and find what they want that way or they can use the system... Or they could find what they wanted in the system and then go to the thread on the forums...

P.S. Me wants Username Image.

I've seen a similar system integrated into another website. For the life of me, I can't remember what it was called though :\

@SuF: Wouldn't the thread be the "discussion" tab? I don't see the point in having two systems clashing against eachother.

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

Looks great, but I think the list of items included doesn't need to include all and where is it that people post the pics themselves as verification they own the account

Edit: I see at bottom nevermind.
I like it, no complaints

 

[yo123]

Good idea. willwork well.

 

[Oggie]

I think it looks very good. Well done dude! ... that would be awesome

Hm? This system should create a thread and the discussion tab should be linked to that thread in the forums.... Then people could use either the forums or this... >_>.

 

[Fatih]

Love the idea but I think the blackmarket is fine as it is. It lets users interact with each other and it feels much better. I don't wanna feel like sythe is a company like usfine.

 

[Two Legit Two Quit]

looks cute . Little too much work if your just trying to sell an account you dont care about.

 

[Acidman]

Phenomenal look.
Make sure you beta test this quite a bit before release.
Since it could go wrong in many ways.

Also, if there could be some form of verification involved in proving the accounts ownership would increase this method as well.

Possibly a new type of staff?
Verifying crew.

No they'd be using both
