Why don’t you allow trading

[Death to intel]

Why can’t I trade items with my friends to use the existing condo customization features? You literally use steams back end for items but just decided to make everything not tradeable.

Because if you allow it, people will find a way to sell items between each others.

Ok why is this a problem. I fail to see how this is bad. I’d pay for a ton of tower items I don’t want to grind I already have a job

It will have every issue that happens with markets/trading, such as people getting scammed, people putting high prices on rare items like Halloween and Christmas limited stuff, (or ridiculous prices for cosmic catsacks), having people play the game just for the sake of grinding items instead of actually enjoying the game, others will play less because they can just buy every single item for whatever collection they're going for (like plushies and fish), cause items that are considered rare to drop in rarity and value because of those people grinding them constantly to the point of making them not worth anything, etc etc.

People will either take full advantage of trading so they can drown in items/units or be the one that gets taken advantage of.

Another reason being, if you could just trade or buy items, then you wouldn't be taking part of the plaza or it's mini games. What exactly were you wanting out of the game since you can't be bothered to "grind"?

In some ways I admit I can understand wanting trading in game. I can't fish due to wrist problems so can't get certain things I want (mainly the non-fish items) but I can also see where having trading can cause problems. It sucks!

None of this is bad. Also I can just go buy accounts that are already loaded instead of trading this just removes a layer of complexity and makes it safer if I can do this through steam I can also share with my friends. All the items are worthless there’s nothing rare and with the addition of workshop furniture it’s functionally worthless too these are all bad arguments

Build condo with friends and mini golf simulator

How do I send a trade?

[Incredible Gassy]

Only way of "trading" anything in the game is using Poker in the casino and purposefully losing max bets to your friends to give them units, I do wish they would add gifting of units so you didn't have to use that method.

Trading was originally planned during the IndieGogo campaign.

Trading in games often leads to outside black markets, where in-game currency can be sold for real money, potentially leading to scams and damaging the in-game economy.
I highly doubt a black market for Tower Unite would happen, especially since Units are far too easy to come by, and longtime players would have over 100 million with nothing to spend it on, other than to give it away if we could.

One of the main draws I think in Tower Unite is showcasing your unique items earned through time and effort, if these items or units were freely distributing to new players, then it would lessen the motivation to actively participate in mini-games and events and they would probably stop playing early on in the game.

So, I think this is a bad idea and I agree It was the right call to scrap it.

If easy currency is what you seek, you can always find a casino friend and have them lose to you in poker games therefor transferring their funds to you.

The minigames should be fun thats should be the incentive. Nobody is looking at your tower unite items in awe you also just said "units are far too easy to come by". There is no "in game economy" because theres no forms of exchange or trading. none of these reasons make sense and even with trading restricted you can just go buy loaded accounts instead
