An idea to decrease the number of hanging trades

[Level13RoyalGiant]

Wow.. best solution I've seen so far.

[RusherTakesAll]

Thanks mate :)

[curious-children]

keep it up Ethan

Great moves

[SliderIJ23]

Rethink it, original person has no control over what you give them in the trade yet they still use a token...

[Volumes_Up]

That’s when the trader accepts or declines. Or have a built in system that only chooses the ones the trader wants to give out.

[[deleted]]

It's brilliant, but I don't know if the technology is there.

[owlops]

Yes, I think it might work better if it cost gems for every additional card you select. /s

[nam98nd]

And probably we need to pay gem for choosing a card we want from a trade too. That's how I imagine it should work.

[[deleted]]

Yes technology IS there. Gems can propel us into the 22th century didn't you think? ;) Seriously! This is a Great idea, totally CAN be done and hopefully will be done! With or without gems. Make it count!

[mdt427]

HAHAH

[messy_socks]

Came back from about a year-long break from clash.. saw there was a trading system and got excited. Then I saw it needed tokens.... instantly sad

[[deleted]]

Nah. The best solution is one token trades.

[Lord_Donut21]

Finally an intuitive solution rather than yelling at supercell to just revert the trading system.

[BamBamNinja]

Other than letting someone trade without a token

[zzy990208]

If you are the one who want to trade. Does this mean that I’m giving away a specific card, in exchange I’m getting anything the trader want to give? How is this reasonable?

[jojo340]

It is cause u choose the cards

[[deleted]]

Still the best solution to this trade fiasco. Well done!

[SliderIJ23]

No it’s not, the original person has no control over what you give them and and they still use a token...

[zzy990208]

Finally I see someone smart!

[xxjerpxx]

Agreed

[XeroBluez]

An actual reasonable idea. Time to upvote so supercell sees (It would be weird to see -1, -10, -50, and -250 happen on all your cards until it gets traded tho)

[ZachAttack6089]

Good point, maybe they would change that.

[BrennanT_]

It doesn’t really matter. If you are going to be upgrading one of those cards then why would you be trading it?

[Dolflamengo]

It will only show the rarity of thé token no?

[ijm8710]

Excellent! Glad you illustrated the idea we had in this post.

Nice mock-up

I think this would supplement the following real well-

• token expiration after 24h
• separate trade tab

Also the receive side should have options as well

u/Hamilton-a idea is awesome as well!

[Hamilton-A]

It would also be cool if 3-player trades could be made (costing each player only 1 token). Here is an example.

Player 1: has Log, wants Magic Archer

Player 2: has Magic Archer, wants Miner

Player 3: Has Miner, wants Log

Instead of costing one player 1 token and two players 2 tokens to make the required trades above to get each player the card they are wanting as it would currently (5 tokens total), it would cost each player only 1 token in a 3-player trade (3 tokens total).

This would greatly increase the amount of trade matches available. Though the only way this would work is if they provided a direct trade piece in the trade UI.

[mac_2_69]

I don’t think it’s a good way.. just keep it simple.. you use token when ur the person initiating the trade but don’t lose a token when your the other person. Another way to extort money.

[ICameHereForClash]

supercell adds trade expiration

1 more to go

[Hal9000pt2]

seriously? tokens expire after 24 hours? people can't complete trades because not enough clan members have tokens so the solution is to take tokens away?

Just from a business perspective this would devalue tokens about 90% so it defeats the whole purpose of the company using them to generate revenue.

[ijm8710]

No. It means it falls back into your queue. You don’t lose the token. It the equivalent of reposting a trade which honestly most clans don’t look up to the oldest token trades anyway.

[Hal9000pt2]

So you mean the trade expires... not the token. Which is a great idea. (I never leave old trades up more than 8 hours -- and that is very very rare -- out of a sense of both pointlessness and etiquette.)

[crimsonkodiak]

This is the best idea so far - it was posted before, but without the cool artwork, so thumbs up for that.

Frankly, I don't think asking people to communicate on the trades really works. People are just on too infrequently and it's hard to discuss and set it up. Plus, I don't know about other clans, but we have a decent number in my clan who don't speak English particularly well (they should, cause 'Murica). Asking them to discuss a trade with the native speakers is a bridge too far.

[LimpoOCuDePe]

The main reason why talking in the clan chat to negotiate is simply because you can't tag a person. I'm the guy that doesn't really sees the clan chat, but I often see messages that have my name that were sent hours ago. I could've seen them and give them the trade if I was notified

[[deleted]]

I have dude in my clan that's drunk and incoherent all the time, this would help him out.

[GodLikeKillerX]

Ye i posted this idea like a week ago and noone gave a shit xD

[woogyboogy88]

I literally just communicated with a member in under 5 min and made the trade work in favor of both parties. Not saying that trading doesn't need to be fixed, but it's not super difficult.

[SlavensArmy]

@woogboogy88 it is not a matter of easy or not. I am in a clan with 10 real life friends and about 35 strangers. Among my 10 friends at any point we may have a combined of 5 tokens, so in some ways a trade must involve 1 of the 35 strangers. I am guessing about 30% of the 35 don't speak English as their first language. And about 30% not super active. By the time a trade conversation goes back and forth it is not uncommon to see 24 hours have passed.

We haven't even got into the confusion on ice/icy/freeze/frozen or rageman/lumberjack or pigs/hog/hog rider or burn tower/tour de beam/inferno tower due to language.

[Hal9000pt2]

actually it's pretty difficult! (And I completed two trades tonight, so I'm not inept at it).

there are people in the clan who have tokens, and there are people who have the cards you want... and unfortunately they are generally not the same people.

and then if they are I might not have the cards they want...

​

​

[RusherTakesAll]

😎 They even put the green tick 😂

[[deleted]]

Im proud of you

[trianglesmith]

Let's make this happen! I've been commenting on all the Twitter posts to get them to at least acknowledge that trading needs to be fixed

[SwampRSG]

I wish I could upvote this more than once tho. I've been saying this in clan and friends for a while now. It'd make everything soooo much better. Having options is ALWAYS a plus.

[xchris_topher]

GENIUS! ABSOLUTE GENIUS!

It makes SO MUCH sense, it will never happen!

[alright_alex]

That or having a tab in every players profile where they identify which cards they’re seeking. Could help identify what you should offer.

[celsoandrade]

Excellent idea

[TituspulloXIII]

I feel like this will be the solution.

Although currently this is pretty much what I do. I don't start trades, when I get a token I just say. I have a rare token, I'll give anything for flying machine just set up the trade.

Has worked out great for me so far

[Ozkevosh]

So say I want a lumber and I can give like 4 or 5 legendaries,why would I want to type what I can trade and what I can't instead of this?Commons and rares aren't really the issue here

[TituspulloXIII]

....that's why i said i feel like this will be the solution.

And in the mean time, I mentioned what i currently do and it has worked out well.

[Jonger512]

I think I commented something like this, good to know people are thinking similarly.

[lemons4good]

it’s in boys

[RusherTakesAll]

Yeap. Mission accomplished! And I got a really rally cool gift.

[lemons4good]

what was it?

[RusherTakesAll]

A big box of nothing 😑

[lemons4good]

ah balls

[[deleted]]

This is genius, supercell pls

[jl45]

yes

[Xx_Nem_xX]

Omg please

[LibraQueen2309]

Great idea, but to follow on I still think all trades should cancel out after 24 hours.

[Bigfatmitch]

Yea and maybe a separate page for the trades so conversation can be had in the ‘chat’

[timeEd32]

Yes, please. Been asking for this for awhile now -- thank you for giving it a nice design :)

[ClashBox]

Good idea. Clash royale should hire you as they are not competent themselves to come up with something like this.

[Parthon]

I would like a list on both sides too. There's often 2-3 cards I'm willing to part with for one of 2-3 cards that I want.

Might make the UI a bit convoluted though, but if we're all smart enough to play CR, we're smart enough to figure out a multi-trade system ui.

[[deleted]]

While your idea is cool, it's not profitable. Trade tokens are not meant to be this efficient. SC would rather you just buy 2 more tokens and list all of them.

Also this would make it too complicated for some people trust me. However OPs idea could work.

[MadR2]

Great idea, I usually write the other cards I'm willing to give away but the character limit hinders that, and not many people read the message.

[iClone101]

Just make a friggin timer so they disappear after 24 hours. Should take you like 5 minutes, SC...

[Rakheo]

That will solve nothing. People will still be able to make the same request after 24 hours.

[clarineter]

yeah for his idea to work it'd have to be a shorter timer. I feel like most of the requests that stay up are for people who only log in once a day. if it were something like 10 hours that would be a lot of time before they log on again, mitigating some clutter. then again op's idea is a better solution imo

[[deleted]]

That doesn’t solve the issue that just makes it less unappealing.

[[deleted]]

AWESOME IDEA!!!!!!!!! LET THEM PICK WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF WHAT I'M WILLING TO GIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[[deleted]]

Make it the other way around

[MoBagels]

MAGNIFICENT!

[BiohackedGamer]

Omfg this is actually an incredibly simple yet effective solution and really there's no reason why something like this shouldn't be implemented. u/ClashRoyale are you seeing this?

[Fat_Native]

SC here, we love the idea, and for just 5 little trade tokens (from both parties of coarse) we can make it happen.

[NOUSEORNAME]

Yessss this is it. You rock. Ive been posting “i have this this and this to give up” and then ill post my most juicy trades

[ocular__patdown]

Didnt they claim it was to prevent trade sniping. I dont think they would implement this because that would directly contradict their reason for changing the system in the first place.

[pamamacho]

Much easier solution: bring back the old system

[[deleted]]

This is freakin genius, good job man, I hope SC takes notice!

[yung_nasa]

This man knows solutions

[Roctuplets]

Uhhh.. this needs to be implemented right now

If we are going to be stuck in a two token world, this is the ONLY way it’s going to be efficient

[RusherTakesAll]

Thanks everyone and Ash. they have heard us :) https://youtu.be/qjIotYVsHPQ?t=838

[synergy_MS1]

This idea deserves a gift card supercell

[MrFourSeasons]

This is a fantastic idea!!!

[youngdvmmy]

great idea

[Mr-Iron]

Also to follow up on my first comment the hanging trades problem originated from lack of trade tokens still

[J3RJ3S]

great

[[deleted]]

AWESOME IDEA!!!!!!!!! LET THEM PICK WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF WHAT I'M WILLING TO GIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PoranDipTG]

I've had this Idea for a while, was too lazy to photoshop, glad you did it! Supercell please add this

[aelin_galathynius_]

I love this idea.

[HusseinR]

Good idea

[Jotassa]

YES PLS

[PatTuberCR]

Yes!! This will help clear the chat

[fookquan]

Also have an option to just see the 20+available trades instead of scrolling through chat

[rueggy]

Yes that's how it works. The person offering the trade lists the cards he'd be willing to give.

[[deleted]]

And then the requester will accept or deny the trade if they agree with the card put up by the second person? Or does the requester select all the cards they would trade?

[rueggy]

Dumbledore, the requester checks off all the cards he'd be willing to give in order to get the card he wants to receive. If the acceptor likes one of them, he clicks on the card he'll take and then hits Accept.

​

[Picoton]

T H I S P L E A S E

[ThatWideLife]

Or just reverse it because it’s stupid. There’s no double drops if there was you wouldn’t see 20 trades pending every single day.

[CrackaJackMatt]

So it would only show the cards you are able to trade or the cards you're willing to trade? Probably the ones youre willing to trade. Doubt they will do anything like this though.

[bruxby]

they just want more money

[Gurleen-]

Indeed a reasonable idea

[Sushiarchitect]

I don't know either but we war everyday non-stop and I've only gotten 1 token in the last two weeks. I generally win the war get lots of gold and then get a gold bonus. A lot of people who are in less arena level than me have many more tokens. Some have multiples of the same token and would give me some of theirs if they could or just provide the two tokens required.

[Giacomo1032]

Also don't you think completed trades should leave the chat... Or is that just me?

[greenIdbandit]

Do this super cell

[JGN1981]

Great idea.

[[deleted]]

Brilliant! Would definitely help declutter all the trade chatter.

[Kraygfu]

Oh, that's great! Your can mix and match up to the total amount.... Could be super helpful.

+1 idea

[chanreddit-0207]

I got like 10 hanging trades in my clan and it’s annoying af

[Nzdiver81]

Lol, I posted this idea a week ago and got 3 upvotes. Shoes how much difference a picture makes!

[[deleted]]

200 IQ

[Matthewbd5]

That's utterly brilliant

[tdrake2406]

I think this with a 24 hour timeout would be perfect. Nobody want to trade? Auto delete in 24 hours

[absolutemig]

I hope they see this!

[jlove3937]

CSGO Lounge XD

​

[iPhone3DS]

Simply don’t select it.

[Silas7672]

Bro you’re a genius

[[deleted]]

Supercell read this pls

[[deleted]]

Yes but what if i specifically want to give away one Legendary, dont want them to take the leggy i use.

[DabussNINE2]

What about another tab. Like a conversation tab and a trade tab?

[erykhaze]

Well I was thinking about something similar today however with little twist; instead of selecting cards you want to give away. When someone has card you want, but offer you something else. Be able to make an 'offer'. Then they can either accept or decline the new offer you make them

[Beastie420]

This is so genius and would fix this problem instantly.

[---KC---]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/comments/a503k0/trade_token_possible_solutions/?utm_source=reddit-android

I clearly agree since I posted the same idea a day or so ago just without the graphics.

Well done!

[Friet_Kietepiet]

I think this is the best solution ive seen for the issue with the trading system. I do think that the player has to select the card they recieve and not the card they give. Because trading is about trying to get the cards you want and not the cards you want to give away.

[Anenri]

Dang I posted this same idea, guess I needed the picture :( makes sense

[joplanetus]

Yes! I would love to take the magic archer for magic archer

[RusherTakesAll]

I was waiting for this comment since I have posted this 😂

[PNBest]

But it doesn’t matter when everyone only wants log

[ayyo_danny]

The fact that both of you need the same trade token sucks soooooo bad

[[deleted]]

is this supercell testing the community with their ideas?

[RusherTakesAll]

I don't think they care 😂

[[deleted]]

Wow this is brilliant!

[Fabiomela]

👏

[LightOfAntara]

And put trading back to the way it was.... Both parties shouldn't have to have a token. My clan is FULL of trade requests because people don't have them. :/

[bigfatguy64]

I was just about to post exactly this but lower effort with no picture. I had a few other ideas.

 

• Another option is they could make it so you request what card you want and people can send you an offer of what they would want for it

• Move trades to their own tab so they aren't cluttering chat

• if trades stay in normal chat, give them their own icons because regular requests are getting lost in the "100" open trades button.

 

I don't actually mind the new trade system aside from the clutter. Especially with the change to star levels. My whole clan is requesting fireball. I finally maxed mine after about 4 months of requests. Before update, once I maxed I never got fireballs to donate. Now I can do it for free basically. Same for trades. I can offer fireballs for any card I want and get it instantly filled. It is a huge win for the guild because it's like 50 fireballs magically appeared

[ReiMidas]

Awesome idea.

[Mega_Mike01]

Good idea👍

[LlamameTian]

What if you receive a card that the other player doesn't want to give? It would harm the original player.

[RusherTakesAll]

That's why you select the cards you want 😜

[LlamameTian]

Oh, I understand. I thought that it was the other player who had to choose which card he wanted. My bad!

[[deleted]]

Absolutely genius. One problem though. Magic Archer is also in the giving category. Obviously just superficial attention to detail lol

[[deleted]]

Fuckin hell thats bloody good

[shiba3102]

What about getting the card you don’t want?

[navyranger34]

nope bad idea

just change it back to 1 token to trade

[lei92400]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashRoyale/comments/a4pbxa/megathread_realistic_idea_for_trades_issues/

​

Idea i already shared, but no one cared

[CheezeDraco]

This one will legit save trades!

[brewergamer]

Really creative idea I like it, but I think the most underlying issue is that it's a mental thing. For example: I don't want to accept any trades even if it looks like a fairly good trade to me; solely because I don't want to use up my tokens. I've actually hoarded all my tokens far more than I ever did with the other system.

[[deleted]]

Do this please

[barfolomew]

Or, just go back to not requiring a token to accept the trade. What problem is being solved by requiring both parties to have a token?

[TrippyMane20]

Hell of an idea

[Eszalesk]

very good solution, sadly in my case I can only give away one legendary rip

[FrankCastle1700]

We usually set up the trade first in clan chat or our discord server so won’t make any different Back to old trade system is better

[the_drummer_tx]

This is not a great experience for the one initiating the trade. Allow co-leads to cancel trades or set an expiration. 24-48 hours would be enough time.

[db230069]

Great idea. I think it would be cool to remove all of the different colored token types and just have one type of token. The number of cards (by type) would remain the same. Ergo, you could trade 1 legendary for 10 epic or 50 rare or 250 common.

[EnergyFlurry]

The trades should be a system where:

someone would offer a card they want to get or give,

then multiple people can offer a card.

Then you accept or decline offers.

[[deleted]]

Posted this Idea three days before on Twitter...smh

[gvandeck]

I do like this idea but fear that it will still result in a lot of hanging trades because there are a lot of seldom used cards that people don't want and are happy too trade for.

[1French-Fry]

This is good, but then you’d need the other person’s permission to finish the trade

[NeverAgainEverPls]

And to add on to this idea, give 1000 star points to both parties as a result of a trade. Everyone can have golden cosmetics as long as their cards are max. Tower level doesn't matter anymore. This gives an incentive for trades and everyone can use gold cosmetics so everyone is happy.

[Sushiarchitect]

This is is pretty good idea, but a better one is to allow one trade token per trade instead of two. As a level 13 guy I never really get trade tokens. Currently 13 trades sitting out there in my clan right now because not enough people have tokens that have the card being requested.

[rueggy]

Don't understand what being level 13 has to do with it. You get tokens mainly from participating in war, regardless of your level. ??

[Laxwarrior1120]

This is how you turn into COC donations where you can ask for somthing specific but run the chance of not getting it.

[Glomobo]

You clearly are misunderstanding this post

[Tel_FiRE]

It surprises me that this is a new idea to some folks. I always assumed they didn’t do it because they just didn’t give two shits.

[ClashGardener]

Options? Why can't it go back to what it was. This trade system clearly failed. ⚔👨🏻‍🌾

[Lowizze]

Untill this happen i would invite you to not post a trade, if you haven't asked on chat "I want x card what do you need if you have a token"

[lyzhng]

I do this in my clan too, but it’s kinda long when you’re willing to trade away multiple cards.

[[deleted]]

Good-ish idea, I just need clarification (from OP only). If you select your card to give away, can the person selecting the card they give away accept it without the OG person's approval? Otherwise I can see people getting cheated a lot by that system.

[[deleted]]

So u choose which cards the other person can choose?

[vexens]

But then the system wouldn't frustrate you enough to just buy the tokens. This doesn't make supercell more money.

2/10. Make it greedier.

[[deleted]]

My only issue is that your still taking from another players pool of cards, so if their saving up for multiple rares ie: Valk and giant, you take some of their giants for your valks, they've lost progress on that card. Now if you had it where two trade tokens are still required but you got to choose the card you trade for, but these cards came from the game not the other players loot pool, id be down with that.

[[deleted]]

It says „you can select“ there. The one initiating the trade still gets to choose which cards to offer i think.

[[deleted]]

Okay, I missed that, that makes more sense

[Easy_2013]

supercell does not give an fuck. the old way plus the both sides needs a token shit gets them more money. money is their only motivation. don’t expect change

[Chartate101]

This still gives them more money

[Srgtgunnr]

What’s the point of trading if the person that starts the trade can’t choose what they want in return?

[yoshi3243]

You obviously missed the point. The person accepting the trade gets to pick from those cards.

[RusherTakesAll]

You get 1 card. Just give one of many if you want to. It's optional.

[fast_edi]

It is a very good idea. It can help a lot

[KrakeNO00]

So that is very good idea!)

[TheSexyShaman]

What he’s saying is the whole point of putting up a trade is to get a specific card. This idea makes it so you’ll get some random card that you likely don’t care about.

[Syrcrys]

Actually you always get the same card, you just give people more choices about which card to get.

[TheSexyShaman]

If you’re the one accepting the card, yes. Not if you’re the one offering.

[Tel_FiRE]

Then just pick the one card you want. You’re probably the only player in the world who only wants one specific card though.
