All I see are 1 star trades, same ""diarehea"", different reason.with pages worth of 0 and 1-star trades
I'm not piss'd I see them, I'm piss'd of all the ppl I can't trade with.
Simple filters on the trade screen solve that, yet nothing solves
the completely rediculious 50% trade fee till well into CH 8-9+ .....
"Fair" is thrown around alot, yet whats actually fair isn't what the solution
seems to be. So as a psychological/hypothetical question, try this ...
Trade between 2 players where 1 is "discovered" and the other isn't.
The distance between these 2 players are the same, whats different
is the player that has exposed more "Rings" , will usually be
the player that is further along in the game, and lets face it has
higher levels of goods just in general. We will also assume that
neither has a BTG.
Is it "fair" to force both players to post 1:1 trades with each other ? (no)
Now I understand the Elvenar eddiquitte says "this is a co-op game,
not a pvp game", but it was also designed so that the co-op part is
joining and being in a FS... I wholeheartedly agree within a FS, keep
the trades to 1:1, thats the FS discount basically....
On the other hand The game was designed and allows trades up to
1:8..... Just because some players want to eliminate an economy
environment.... its "unfair" to the devs and detracts from possible
playstyles when artificial limits are imposed where none exsist.
While I might meet anyone 1/2 way reguarding decaying Sentient
goods.... You'll have to meet me 1/2 way on Basic goods.....
Between the inversely unfair trade fee, and the wide possible
difference in Boost %'s.... not to mention actual cost-per-tile
of different resources..... Basic Goods should have NO limits
to allow trades to be more "fair" between players in different
stages of the game.
Now if a chunk of the playerbase continues to use and teach to
use the adjective "fair" , which is subjective, in reguard to a 1:1,
or basically a swap, then lets have the true discussion.......
Lets hash out everything thats already "Unfair" in Elvenar, and
exactly "to whom" its actually unfair to..... either that or lets call
a 1:1 trade what it is....... "even", which is NOT subjective......
Attaching a moral judgement, when as AJ clearly points out....
there can be extenuating circumstances that you don't know
about, speaks more to your morality/ehtics than it does to the
other person who is just doing what the game allows.
In this day/age/century/millenia, Freedom itself is on trial.
Authoritarian views also are as well..... Isn't it time to @least
STOP making moral/ehtical judgements about fellow players
in a dictatorial way ???? Stop bully'n new players, into ignoring
possible ways, (you might not like but the devs design'd into
the game), of potential playstyles....
There are only 2 kinds of trades ......
1) even trades
2) uneven trades
I refuse to attach a moral/ethical judgement to either of those.
