The downside to trading is the possibility of someone rocking a deck of 9 Hun-gurr cards or some similar nonsense. Also, doesn't work too well when the first guaranteed raid cards are cheaper than subsequent ones.

Personally, I think it should be done more like a trading block/Auction House type of deal. If you put a card on the block, it still counts against your 200 character card limit. However, you cannot use it in your deck. When the card is put on the block, you must identify what you want for it....such as cube/energon recharges, medals, cards/weapons (with selectable minimum criteria for ATK/HP/DEF), Transmetals/Weapon Upgrade Mats, credits, etc.

Why do it that way? The card is useless while it's listed, so it's stupid to list a card and demand the world for it.

When you bid, you put up what you're willing to trade, and the game comes back with a list of cards your bid qualifies for. So if you offer 100 cube recharges, you'll see a listing of all cards that will accept a 100 cube offer.

Buyer & Seller never see each other's names, and the first acceptable offer is taken. So if you think you'll be clever and sell your 2nd account an MTM Elita One for 1 credit, you may just give someone else the deal of a lifetime.

The biggest danger I see with this is the possibility of someone getting a non-MTMed card. So how do we fix it? Allow people to split Trans-scanned cards back into the component cards. Doing so resets both cards to level 1. This is also helpful for sellers....maybe you immediately trans-scanned that Rippersnapper for your Cyberdex, not knowing you'd be able to trade later. Selling the components is certainly better than trying to sell a perma-gimped non-MTM. Or maybe you have an Elite Megatron and the components would sell faster than the MTMed card? Or perhaps a buyer wants to complete his Cyberdex, and the only cards available are all MTMed.

That's how I'd do it.
