Other Send trade offer to an offline player using SteamID

[MiGGo]

Ok so this should probably be doable faster than discord/website trading, so I think it'd be cool if you could send a trade offer in-game to someone by using their SteamID.

I've seen a lot of situations where people make a deal on the discord, but then they are never able to get on the server at the same time due to timezone differences. You could send your trade offer while the other one is offline and then the other person sees it when they come online.

This would be a cool idea but at the same time it could be abused to harass people with trades. Maybe once a blocking system is implemented this should be considered. Or like what Steam has where you have a trade ID that is unique to you and can be regenerated with the push of a button. Great idea though!

I agree with torb, but I think the solution is either limit this to sending one trade at a time, allowing the player to block specific people from sending trades, and/or allowing people to limit the number of trade offers they can receive while offline.

Love the idea, +1

I think miggo made this post only because him and I are almost never on at the same time and it's made trading annoying as FUCK

It looks like the blocks are stored client-side so that might need to be adjusted to support offline trade blocks btw.

Crazy how this suggestion has been up for 9 months and hasn't been accepted. Basically necessary if you want to trade with someone on the other side of the world and can rarely be on at the same time as them.

Yeah, it sounds simple but implementing such a feature would probably require a rewrite of a lot of code. They might be able to create it as a "market listing" where you can set the privacy of it to the Steam ID of another user or something but this will take time to implement for sure.
