If player A never needs/uses Good X , and player B likes to sell Good X,
( for everything else ) ... I don't care what the ratio is, player A is not going
to be taking player B's trades.
Because Elvenar does NOT use one tier to make a higher tier, there never will
be a constant upstream of resources globally.... as players no longer need goods
then trade will dry up from the top down....
I'm certainly not into sentient/ascended goods, but I'm guessing once a player is....
they more focus on those rather than Standard goods. Yes sets like AT, Manor, or Ruins
give static goods forever, and I'm guessing higher CH players can live just off what
they get from those sets in Std. goods T1/T2/T3, and no longer needs to trade for them.
This thread ( OP ) talked about Std. goods, .... players such as
@SoggyShorts , many times
have explained.... Ascended is game capp'd @ 1:1 , sentient ( decaying stuff ) on a few
worlds are held hostile to preditory trading, and really do need to be traded 1:1.......
So ( for the most part ) Standard goods, are most used by players CH7 and below.
The longer it takes on average players to get thru Chapters where all new event bldgs
are giving T3 and/or Mana .... the more that segment of the playerbase will be basically
adding to the glut of T3..... ( gems are the new scrolls in my worlds )
You have to go back to what
@SoggyShorts and other players do, encourage newer
players to learn City Balance..... if ur adding say a troop bldg like D.riders, but it also
gives you T1, then you need to scale back your reg T1 so that doesn't cause an
imbalance.... AMs need to recruit a balance of boosted players too.... And if ur FS
is short in T1, then all players should make a little xtra..... (teamwork)
Unlike Soggy, I do see benefit for cross-trading, but
@crackie (&AJ) and others are right.....
if a player adjusts to the market correctly, their goods will Always be in demand....
thus thier trades will be taken far quicker/easier......
I do not condone FSs having blanket rules on each type... Std/Sentient/Ascended.
I'm alot closer to Soggy's view than I used to be, but give me a break..... CH 15+
players telling CH 1-6 players how to trade Std. goods, is kinda dumb....
They're the players primarially using them, let them set the rules.... lol
