Party Member Trading

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

hello. i think it would be a good idea to allow us to trade party members from one alliance to the other. this will be good for 24-man instances.

i think this could be good because...

1.) although the content is designed to allow any formation to succeed, i still think anyone willing to utilize this feature could increase overall success rate for that instance.

2.) it could help reduce the amount jobs stacked in to one alliance. like if one alliance has 3 or 4 of something, they could trade 1 or 2 of those between other alliances. that is, if they aren't in the same situation with the same job. but this will also help reduce the competition on loot rolls for those players.

3.) there was a 3, but i forgot it.

Could potentially be misused or trolled somehow I'm sure, but then there was that one situation in WoD a couple weeks ago where we zoned in and someone on TS goes "B must be for bard this time around", I took a look at Alliance B and sure enough, EVERY dps spot in that party was filled by a BRD. ;P

Although it's kind of fun when you get straight BLM haha.

yeah. i know it can potentially be abused. and people could always discuss calling dibs on certain piece of gear. but that doesn't always work out.

obvious restrictions would be you can't use it in combat, or during loot rolls. and ready checks too i guess. and then i think maybe another restriction or two. either you can only use it within the like first few minutes of the instance. or have a usage limit, like 2 times per alliance per instance.

i don't know how the execution process would work. i would say to just let each player have their own control over it. like the alliance list could let us select a name and give an option to swap. if the other player accepts, then your alliance is changed. or even through the context menu of the player would work too.


i don't know, but i think a feature like it would be very useful.
