Default S2 Suggestion: Free Players Can Trade

I was thinking to improve player base and quality of life in s2 you could allow free players to trade to one another, Id say still limit AH to paid only but trading from one to another without upgrades or being able to auction wouldnt do much harm

Is like hydra. Cut off head another grows back. First we had Gooddevil when S2 launched. Then he got bant for botting. Next was Joanna starting a few months back. Now she's been bashed into a passive state. Now the third one :{{{{{{


As for the idea itself don't really support. Not like s2 has much of an auction house anyway but if free accounts are allowed to trade at least include both servers. Outside of that 33% exp boost bribe both servers have always shared buffs and nerfs from patches together :{

without paying for a thing ? How would Glitch benefit from this directly?

If that is exploitable boss farming make it so only items can be traded and not gold or TCs to avoid farming tcs in arena? Also gold farming as anything but premium account is half the gold to begin with...

Either way I don't support this idea to begin with but I figured I might point out that boss farming without premium account is a totes waste

You'd still need gear/time/skills to level up a toon to make this worth while... not profitable at all especially since you only get boss drops ONE time only

OP made thread cuz he makes 1000 toons so he'd benefit greatly from being able to pool the resources. Just imagine if his 60 s1 toons could pool everything.

If Ns can trade items what is the point in getting face? Oooh 1 hour of rrt. Bit more learning exp. Let's say he gets 10 toons at cap. Cannot trade gold (assuming we go with what clau wants instead of ruthenium). Oh well. He has face on his 1 main. He trades resources to other players. They trade his main the gold. Less rrt aside he's making the income of 10 caps resourcing cuz he doesn't have a life and only has to upkeep 1 face. Even at lower levels only trading items. Most won't abuse it much perhaps but people like jade or OP... if they pooled the boss drops of their 50 alts onto 1 toon that toon..

Don't forget. Nod is a business. From a business perspective why should Glitch give more powers to free accounts? This won't make him money. S2's population may rise? Unlikely since they can easily get what they want on s1 even without it. (unless they're stupid enough to beg), but let's say it does. More f2p won't make Glitch money. Perhaps they'll become p2w eventually, but that's a few ifs.

Honestly if you can give a business perspective for why Glitch would benefit he may actually do it


Oh. On a closing note like there is a difference between being able to use auction house or not if you can trade gold/resources and receive anything @ ruthenium :{
