Show trade summary in trade completed message

[Maroon]

Going through another tab of individual messages would still require clicking and reading each instead of a single page summary. Perhaps a 'Recent Trades' tab with a parsed log summarizing completed trades (time stamp, person foo, person foo received, person bar, person bar received) would be more succinct.

The problem with that is that one such page could grow very large when you're trading with a lot of items per trade. For example, if I send over my loots to my character holding my materials, I tend to send about 15 items. Perhaps a 'Recent Trades' tab with mouse-over similar to how one accesses the Auction Hall to show what was traded?

Or when X and I send over all our mats.  We easily have over 20 items each time.  This is something that happens every day or two.  I would love to have a log of what was traded though.

I think the title of the trade message should say something like: Trade Completed with "New_Player_123" at "Timestamp." There already appear to be timestamps in the messages tab, but adding the timestamp to the actual title might be more useful. The current message body provides no additional information and should be removed entirely. In its place it should show something like what Maroon has in his mockup. Having a different tab for "Recent Trades" would be good if it allowed you to sort the trades shown. It'd probably be good to add some options -- toggling visibility of trades between your own characters, sorting by date, sorting by character/player.

And I've mentioned this before (probably a low priority for the devs) but the In-house Trading page's "View Trades" should be merged with the "Invite Players to Trade" page. It'd also be nice to have an "Auto-accept trade invites from your own characters" option or an "auto-accept trade invites from everyone" option. You could add a link to a "Recent Trades" tab on the sidebar or show a few of them below "Active Trades" and have a "Show More Recent Trades" button to bring you to the Recent Trades tab.
