You know that feeling when you have two or more of the exact same trade up in the GTS, but two people offer on the same trade and the other one goes untouched?

For example, let's say you needed 50 Water Gems, so you put up two trades asking for 25 Water Gems each, because it will be more likely that people will have (and be willing to trade) 25 Water Gems than 50. You wait a couple minutes, and then you get the notification that there have been offers made on your trades. You go to the GTS, eager to get your Water Gems, but then when you check the trades, one of the trades has two offers and the other has none. Now you have to go through the full process of accepting one offer, contacting the other user to tell them that someone else offered on the trade, ask them if they want to still do the trade, wait for their response, send them the link to the other trade, wait for them to offer, accept their offer, and finally be done. This process could take a couple minutes or a couple hours, depending when both you and the other user are active, if there was more than two offers, etc. Either way, it is still an annoying process to go through. Currently, that is the only way to resolve that situation.

What I am proposing is the option for other users to see how many offers have been made on a trade. It would work something like this: a user is going to put up a trade, and under the comment box (above the "Continue" button), there is a checkbox that says "Enable other users to see the number of offers on this trade", and if it is clicked, other users would be able to see how many offers are on a trade (but not what they are).

I feel that this would be a nice improvement to the GTS, especially for those who mass-trade things.

Brilliant. I have this happen all the time and it is frustrating and sometimes the other person doesn't get back to you about the other trade you set up for them for whatever reason.

Would be nice to see all trades - or similar - by that user. Never know - you might find something you really need that way!
