Hello everyone. What are the alternatives to barter.vg now? From what I know, these are steamtrades and lestrades.
The first one, steamtrades, is not very suitable, because it is essentially a forum where everything has to be done manually. The site is good, but in my opinion it is a bit for other purposes.
The second site, lestrades, seems to have been done looking at the functionality of barter, but not forgetting its very terrible and incomprehensible interface. In my opinion, they managed to improve it, but there is a problem with users. There are mainly people with wishlists for 3000-7000 games, I usually don't take them seriously, such people are not looking for games they wishlisted.
Are there any other alternatives?

Yeah looks like nothing is better than barter.vg, I miss it because of the offers to multiple users, and if accepted you don't have to cancel the offers on the different users that received that.

AWA Daily Quest for today (5, 7, 10, 20, 25, 40 ARP+ Varying Random ARPs): Day 4 - Step Off!
Just click on the quest itself in the Daily Quest section
https://na.alienwarearena.com/quests/5549

The sequence is shown, memorize it and repeat it. You got 3 rounds, gotta get them all right. Win and get 7 ARP, if not 5 ARP and that should complete the Mini game.

When you complete the Mini game and see the above image, click on "Sail away" and that will take you into the Bonus Axe Master game. Axe Master is also random🔢 and even if you defeat the First Boss and get to higher levels, you will only get 10 ARP sometimes :(, So good luck to all.(y)


Warframe Community Event on AWA: https://na.alienwarearena.com/steam/community-event/warframe-community-event-2

Milestone 1 and 2 Done, 10 ARP and 10 ARP Unlocked and will be shown in the ARP log.(y)

Seems alot of people really miss these sites...so I have a curious question, how would you take to a desktop application that accomplished the same thing? Basically local databases of users you choose to trade with (as well as your own of course), it would likely be far more efficiant than keeping it on a massive server, not to mention I don't exacrly have a massive server 😅

I've made similar apps between a few secluded users, but even on a much larger scale I doubt it would be much more complicated.

I can't promise I would be able to produce it, considering my time where i'm living is running extremely short...but I wouldnt mind giving it a shot if things take a turn--just wondering if people would ACTUALLY use it if I were to make it 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I think it would take way too long to create something like that, I also know some traders work to create a better trade platform, but I know very little about that.

You'd be surprised ;)

Server list of users, direct connection (or wl exchange) for trade offers, can't say it would be a security stronghold...but for a basic way to manage it I don't think it would take nearly as long as a web based platform, the big downside would be the local storage of wishlists for users you didnt ignore and trades rather than being server based.
I also know some traders work to create a better trade platform, but I know very little about that.
That would be my bigger issue, i've never even used them 😅

I obviously have a general concept but not much more.

I only play mobile games when they are exclusives....which is rarely, since i usually don't care for them.
Also, when i can't play them somewhere else...which is even more rare. Case in point, the recently released on Netflix "Before You Eyes"
It is said to be a great game, but i don't have a webcam nor am i going to buy one, so, mobile is my only chance.

Then buy an old iPhone and/or iPad. Pretty much all exclusive games are over 10 years old. All AAA games on mobile now are just PC ports.

Or just skip it all since they suck and buy a webcam :LOL:

In elloco's case its different...he has an arsenal of mobile lifestyle and games, not as easy of a feat as you would think.
