I'm seeing lots of people posting disproportionate trades lately, not even including the Trader's fee. In all honesty, while the fee is grrr, I would much rather pay that if I have to on an offer that starts out fair than on offers that seem to be intentionally giving less than they take, as long as it doesn't deplete my supplies.
Some examples;
1. player wants 200 steel (trader's fee makes it 300), but is only offering 100 marble.
2. player is offering 5 silk and wants 20 crystals (+10 for fee).
3. (this one is related, although the offers themselves are of equal value without the fee) player constantly ignores existing offers to post the same in reverse, apparently so that the burden of the expense can be on you. Well, I'm not accepting any more offers from this person - they can either keep waiting or realize that it's not going to kill them to accept someone else's offer and pay the little fee sometimes.
