Request fulfilled Region for a trade just limits outcome

Hey mates!

When creating a trade, one can select a Region of the trade.

When SEARCHING for trades, your own region is auto-selected to search with. Unfortunately, ONLY trades in this selected region are shown.
You can de-select region to see trades from ALL regions, but, well, one has to know this first.

I'm from EU and I found out that setting US as my item's region, I get more responses. This could be anecdotal evidence.

I just want to say: If you remove the region filter as a default from the item search, people here can get more results for their search, also sellers can reach more players.

As trades are mostly done via friend-list-joining, the region doesn't make any difference at all.

I second that!

True, can do.

What troubles me about the region selection is that if a publish a trade and unselect region it will only get listed if someone unselect region in the filter, maybe a better approach can be that if i unselect all regions when publishing a trade it gets listed under any region and no region search.

I didn't realize that's how that worked! That seems like a good idea to make trades region-less so they get seen by as many prospective buyers and searches are similar so buyers can see all prospective sellers.

It was quick to figure out how to friend-list add and change regions now to do the trade than it used to be 20 years ago!
