Trade chat channel

I'd really like to see a general trade channel in the game that all people are connected to automatically, like help and global. I know there are a couple trade related groups, but it seems like no one actually uses them in the game, and I find it easy to lose trade requests in global chat (nevermind the fact that it's in interruption for whatever else is being discussed there). Anyway, a trade channel is a pretty standard thing in most MMOs and I think there's a good reason why.

  • -1 You can create your own groups; no reason to force every player into one. (In MMOs, one of the first things I do is figure out how to disable the OOC and Trade channels.)

  • Having a channel that everyone's automatically a member of doesn't mean everyone has to keep it open all the time or even (I assume it could be made like this) that it would open for you automatically.

  • Help isn't open for me automatically when I log in. It is, in essence, like a group I'm a member of. Only I didn't have to a) look for it, and b) know that it exists so that I could possibly look for it. I don't see why a Trade channel couldn't be like that.

    And actually, I don't even care if the channel was 'auto-join'. It would just be nice to have a single, official trade channel/group that was somehow made clear to all members, instead of having to join 50 random groups in the hope that you'll find someone to trade with.
