my trader which was full with good trades before being moved, is now virtually empty. no matter what they say, the devs have blown it, big time.

That is NOT TRUE for me, I am an active trader just for your info you cannot generalize your opinion!@Iyapo1 it is my experience that the people who complain the most about the trades do not bother to post their own and would rather rely on other people doing the work. Also, unless those people are going to be online 24/7 to constantly watch the trader, then there is a good chance they are missing all the fair and/or good trades that are posted and taken when they are not online. Which is just another reason they need to post their own.
I must say that even though I miss one of the neighbors that I regularly traded with prior to the move, I'm overall quite happy with the move.
I've never before had a city sparkle bright enough with neighborly help to rival the light of the noonday sun and spill over into my builder's hut and main hall.
Not yet, I asked this morning and got a general "we're working on it" response, but I'll be asking every day until I have an answer. I do know that players are still being moved regularly.
It is possible that you have been moved to a very good area where trades are being quickly accepted. And that is why you do not see many trades up. Honestly lots of trades sitting is not a sign of a good trade environment. Try posting some trades and see how quickly they get accepted before you judge your new trading environment.my trader which was full with good trades before being moved, is now virtually empty. no matter what they say, the devs have blown it, big time.
Both of my cities started out in the fringe of the world so I actually thought that was how the game is supposed to start. I grumbled about the lack of neighbors, but had accepted that was "normal" play. All was well until someone taught me the trick to see where someone is on the map by visiting their city first before clicking the globe. Naturally, I visited everyone in my fellowship and was aghast to learn I was the only one in BOTH fellowships to be stranded in the desert! Not normal at all! My second city had an even worse start--desert in 3 directions (and scroll boosted too ). There were days when my trader was half of one page long. I laughed when I saw @Moho's screencap with perfectly concentric scouting pattern. What luxury to scout circularly without digging deeper into more sandy gold mines! Of course, if you contacted support then, you would have gotten the generic response that there's nothing they can do as the process is automated. So I think it's important to distinguish city movement before the "Great Migration" and after the "Great Migration", recognizing the fact that helya has a list now and there's the possibility of human intervention in the move algo is definitely a step in the right direction.

Mine looks like Italy rotated clockwise. When overlaid on top of my new neighborhood with actual cities now, looks like my map was made by drunk scouts.I scouted circularly and was oh so happy to do so...until now. Now it's go NORTHWEST, do not pass go do not collect coins.
That is a step up from the "Sorry, nothing we can do" response we used to get before and therefore, an improvement in the right direction. Also, where my inner monologue hears @BrinDarby as Mike Myers reciting poetry, I will read posts by @helya in the cadence of a movie trailer voiceover now.We're working on this, hopefully soon.
I feel like I tell you guys stuff is coming "soon" an awful lot.
The cities in those pictures were both automatically moved a few days after I set them up - which is about six months ago.I laughed when I saw
