Cover trade/market/sales suggestion...

I know this has been discussed before in several post/threads. And I apologize in advance to the Mods if this irks you guys. But all the threads I seen on this were from last year.

But I have a suggestion to the Dev's (Not sure if it is original idea or previously stated, but I have not seen it) regarding the trading/selling of covers. I think if they build a few rules into it, it would keep the hackers out and it would not hurt their profits much, it at all. It may actually cause an increase in sales at some point down the road.

The rules could be simple and benefit all players, both new and old.

-Limit trading/selling to the star level of the majority of you Roster and below. This would prevent members from Trading their way up. You still have to earn Higher Star Covers to get into that bracket of trading. (Example: If you have a Roster of 9, and 6 are 1*, you can only trade 1* Covers. But if you have a Roster of 9, and 6 are 2*, you can trade 1 or 2* Covers, etc.)

-Limit trading/selling to people who have been playing a minimum amount of times/days:
----At 30 days / minimum of 1 hour of game play per day, you can trade with members of your Alliance that have also met the requirement. (Say 1 Trade per week)
----At 45 days / minimum of 1 hour of game play per day you can trade with members in a "Market Place", with a "free" trade cap (Example: 1 trade per week).
----At 60 days / minimum of 1 hour of game play per day you can place your extra 1* Covers into the market place for Trade of 250 ISO or 20 HP (#'s are purely for show, I have no idea what they should be set for)(Limit ISO and HP trades to 2 per week)

-Add additional "Trade Reward Cards" that have to be earned, through progression rewards in SHIELD Training or in Events. Or that can be bought using ISO and HP.

-Limit total trades, both "free" and earned/bought to 3 per week.


Maybe the idea shows my nooby-ness to the game and to the threads. But I think it is a good idea, and I believe it will benefit all players and d3p as well.

Any thoughts? Has this been discussed in length before and I missed it?
