I just recently discovered how great the new buff market is. Glanced at first, but never took time to see how it really works, and boy was I pleased. That said I instantly started brainstorming ideas on where the market could go next.
I think it would be outstanding if the purchaser had control over the destination the buffs being bought were going. Of course I had GvG in mind when mulling over the idea in my head, but I think it is natural to envision the benefits of something you would personally put to use. I think the good of the suggestion stretches beyond GvG - a friend wanting to buy another friend or mate buffs for hunting or any other venue would be another use- and could take place efficiently, and quickly without having to find, communicate the third party request (where mistakes happen so very often), and pay.
In addition I thought of arguments that could arise - again first thing to come to mind was players having buffs cast on others in attempt to disable someones defenses, or with malicious intent. To this the blocking preference comes to mind -and I think the payment should take place regardless of target players accepting the buff - thus costing the buyer nonetheless.
I think this implemented could actually promote sales to the buffers; while making a further convenience to players, and make the venue of GvG more competitive.
Thanks for any feedback or anyone branching off this idea ~ Rye
