Usability Issues with the Trading System

Terraria Server
1

I wanted to have one topic where we have listed the usability issues in the current system, since it’s been hard to keep track of all the different places they’ve been posted over time. This is not about suggestions for entirely new features. Just quality of life changes that would improve usability and user experience.

For example, people have accidentally trashed their items in the past and it has been suggested to add confirmation and also to remove the trash slot itself.

The theming of the trading system is also outdated; it has no dark mode and isn’t the best to use on mobile.

Selling metal has a delay in getting the DP, but the item disappears; this confuses people when they first sell one as it appears they just lost their item.

What other issues do people experience currently?

Some suggestions that I could think of include:

  • Being able to see what things were in trades when they finish (there is no way to see what items were traded once you accept the trade)

  • Fixing the oversight where you cant view the inventory of a player with a space in their name
  • Perhaps a slight rework of this section of the DG stats, to prevent people from staying there forever. Maybe to be here, you must have earned at least some DP in the past week. (this might be how it works currently im not too sure)
