@Darielle ,
You still, in my opinion, are confusing... swaps with trades .....
Explain to me, how if you give 5% of your production, you're "swimming in goods" ??
Does that mean you just hord them and not use them ?? Why would anyone be satisfied
with just thier production, if you trade 1:1 then you ALWAYS are capp'd on YOUR production.
You also seem to misunderstand ...the "bias" against new players is the game itself, not how
other ppl interact with those players......
@Kekune seems to think all FSs have 25 active ppl, they don't.... and trying to get into a good,
chatty, active fellowship is insanely hard .... so there's no access to 24 hr trading within a FS,
unless its a perfect FS with 4 ppl on in 4 hr shifts 24/7.......
Darielle, you also must have miss'd a comment of mine, where I posted (3) offers... ALL better
than 1:1 for the buyer, so as you say @ a discount... and 1 of the 3 was listed as a 1 star trade.
That means the code of the game can't even do simple math and lies in the display....
The TV commercial says 2 things : That Elvenar is a social game and Trade is a part of it.
what it neglects to say, is that its not in realtime.....
If you wanna get technical.... 100 planks = 110 marble = 116 steel ....
taking in to account # of tiles need'd and # of pop need'd ... I bet you think they are all equal.
I can't control the fact goods between tiers is 1:1.5 , not 1:4 as it was before I joined, so
to that.... it is what it is..... cross tier trading is essential at times and shouldnt be discouraged.
If ppl cannot do simple math ( multiplication and division ) then buy a calculator.....
You and others also keep saying , well in a good FS there will ppl to "give" you stuff to help
you out..... like its charity or something... I earn my own way, and I don't need charity...
You can ask my FS, I dare ya...... try msg'n Farsticks2.... I pull my own wait, and I'm a great
asset to my FS....
You also seem to think, in error, that Im just complaining..... have you ever heard of a
discussion/debate ???
@samidodamage is a perfect example.....
I never see a trader fee anymore.
So basically, at a point when he really doesn't need to "trade" , thats when he has no fee
to anyone.... versus a newer or brand new player who does need trade.
Not only is the star system very poorly implemented, but it allows ppl to be bad @ math.
I get it, lowest common demonator , cater to IQ/math challanged players .... but when
the system itself cant do simple math, then how can we players trust what it says ???
Unfair trades mean different things to different ppl, this thread is for everyone...
and YES its a discussion/debate... not argument.....
Inno-Games needs the feedback from players that enjoy MMOs like this, but enjoy
different aspects within most MMOs. Sure Elvenar can be a niche where trading/economy
isn't what it is in other MMOs, but a basic tennent of "trade" is "profit".....
Last Q Darielle, if the current game/system is so great, why are there so many players
that try Elvenar and quit 2 days later, or players that play for years only for Inno to tweak
something rendering all thier hard work Moot and quit , too ???????? There's gotta be a reason....
Maybee this is a case where I'm having a philisophical conversation about a subject, and
people thing its just a complaint thread or a witch session..... Iono
