[Request] Could the devs please add a Trade Chat Channel?

I do not want to block the people buying and selling. Many times they have decent items and prices and occasionally I'm interested. Especially if the item is rare. But if I want to join or promote a World Boss group or have some other zone chat to participate in it becomes very hard to see the conversation around the WTB/WTS.

We have all these language chat channels:
  • /dez or /dezone German-speaking players who are in the same zone.
  • /enz or /enzone English-speaking players who are in the same zone.
  • /frz or /frzone French-speaking players who are in the same zone.
  • /jpz or /jpzone Japanese-speaking players who are in the same zone.
Could we please have a trader's channel as well?

The main opposition to this idea is going to be "people will not use it." Could an option be added to click player name and move that player's chat to another channel? That way if someone is spamming WTS or a guild advertisement that I am not interested in I could click their name and move them to a different chat tab.

    There should be a trade channel AND a looking for group channel. Zone chat should be for asking questions, random conversations, quest help, that sort of thing. I honestly don't get why these weren't implemented from the start.

    Then they better add an option to leave it. I don't want my chat to be spammed by text when I'm in my house, and I don't want to have to turn the chat off to get rid of it
    And so, Akatosh revealed himself to a young Gaben, and granted him purpose.
    "Grant them Steam sales," he commanded.
    And obey, he did.

    There are already options in the game to see only the chans you are interested in. Right click on the chat tabs.

    In theory, this should work.

    In reality, it doesn't. Blizzard did that in WoW, and people don't want to wait their turn in the trade channel, so they go into the other channels anyway. Sometimes they don't care. So now we have talking on the trade channel and trading on the talk channel.

    And since it's not against the TOS, there's nothing you can do about. And there's no gaming company that is going to make that against the TOS - the enforcement alone would be a headache.

    Agreed. It's hard to say something when someone is spamming 6-10 items to sell.
