[Look]

I can presume that time limit when trading was put there so it wouldn't make people wait too much when there is crowd waiting to get to trader. But obviously since you can send 1 cap or press talk then barter and restart it, it doesn't do much. And people would probably be even faster if they could scroll inventory in peace without having to restart barter.

So, why not removing time limit ? Am I missing something ?

.. really you dont get it
its called TROLLs they would just leave there characters tradeing with traders when they go to sleep or go somewhere then no one could trade, unless they kill said troll.

[Look]

Well, they can basically do it for an hour just by "restarting" barter. Without time limit I would just know some idiot is trolling and would go to another place or would put few bullets to his spine.

Is Fonline really that overpopulated with trolls who don't even know how to troll ?

Well u can push them Away.

but if u want Trade Long Time u Need to push the Barter skill

Is it impossible engine-wise to have multiple players trade with the same merchant?

Thou it's not a huge issue. At least it gives -some- use of the barter skill.

[Senocular]

Everyone will flee if you fake steal on them. Have you tried that? Trading timer depends on your barter skill. Picking "good natured" trait gives you like 50 of barter at the beginning, it's enough.

[Look]

Wish I knew that before hah. Well honestly not many people run when they barter and you do things on them. And most of use old skin and dont even see it heh.

But nice tip on good natured, will keep in mind for next char.

PS. And yeah my barter is like 20 on current char, hence my low time I guess.

[Luther Blissett]

What about timer only starts when someone else attempts to talk to the same trader? Then if you're on your own, or the other people queueing are patient, you can take as long as you like. Someone else wants the same trader, they click, it tells them they are busy at the moment and starts the timer for the current barterer.

Restarting barter would require a script to "bot" it.
So it requires a troll without software help to actually be present.


Bringing back 2-person bartering would be a solution.
(Yes I know it can mess up trades by having some items disappear.)

This. Whole limit should be scrapped.

[Fizzle]

if you want to buy something you see and you noticed your time limit going down back out of the trade to the talk menu and then restart.

[OskaRus]

I agree that this timelimit and only one person per trader is stupid feature. Scrapping that timelimit and allowing multiple persons to trade or spawning more traders would make trading little bit less pain in the ass.
