Suggested Updated. Wishlist checking.

I have gotten many people sending me trade offers, offering me random cards I have no need for as I already have them. Luckily there was an option to turn them off but that makes it annoying for friends as we need to toggle on and off when preparing to trade.

Solution? When about to trade someone, give the trade initiator the ability to see the person's wish list. Set up like the default cardex, 3 columns of cards from the wish list, ranged down by whatever order you've set, (Sets, Type, Rarity, ect) highlighting only the cards you have available to offer followed by the number in the bottom left of how many copies you have.

This will at the least, allow people to offer you a trade that you will actually want and in return, offering them a return offer will allow you to see their wish list and offer them something they also need. If cancelled, more likely they second trader does not have something the first needed and declined for fairness, or the return offer was not something needed the the initiator declined.

This would prevent the need for 3rd party contacts to organize trades as often as trading with random people on your friends list is basically pointless at this point and a waste of limited resources.

Whilst updating this for the wish list, a friend who pulls a card from your wish list should take priority as the pack to next appear on your wonder pick from said friend. Having the need for the rare 2 Star cards, only to have a friend get said card, but their wonder pick is a random pack of 1-2 Diamond cards.

    I bet that they have designed trade function with idea that you will only add to friend list people you know and can easily communicate with, to tell each other what card each of you need. Not random players from opposite side of the world who might have the card you need.

    I like the trading how it is now.
    The only thing i wish we had was to view your friends cards (Cards over 2+ quantity) and offer a card for trade (from your collection) in return for another card.

    Since we dont have this, this is why players usually go to external websites to communicate with players.
