Okay, now I firmly believe without any doubt in my mind that Inno just likes to screw with us. XD For the love of the Gods, WHY HAVE IT OPPOSITE?! If I did use mobile, that would trip up my brain and in a big way.
Aye, I bear no ill will towards those who use the filters already available regularly, but I do not, personally, want to be penalized with several extra clicks every time I open the Trader in order to view the trades I am interested in accepting because so many players believe it is respectable to expect others to do the (relatively; we're talking about a game here) strenuous work of manufacturing the lower tiers for them, so they don't have to.
A goodish part of it is the sheer volume of cross-tier encountered in the Trader that clutters it up and makes it more difficult to accept regular trades for those (like myself) who only take in-tier trades. When something provokes your annoyance over and over and over again, it becomes a bigger problem than what, in and of itself, is minor. Regardless of that, unless you seriously need a certain type of higher tier good in exchange for a lower tier, accepting cross-tier asking for a large amount of lower tier for a small amount of higher tier is not in a player's favor. The default, and even a significantly discounted, ratio hurts anybody giving away a greater number of goods for a lesser number, no matter the tier, aside from very rare circumstances.
Aye, cross-tier used to be quite rare and certainly not posted with such frequency and abundance, nor placed by advanced players regularly. Boils my blood at times, the implicit demand to supply others with lower tier goods, but instead of endlessly arguing about the unfairness of it, I'd rather just see a filter added to block out cross-tier. No one would be harmed by this filter, but our suffering would be alleviated. I WANT THE SUFFERING ALLEVIATED.
Ouch! Mine would contain very few, I'm afraid, but at least I'd know that quickly with a filter. I have no doubt that I would also check neighborhood trades more often, as I do with fellowship trades. Wading through all the cross-tier has been breaking my motivation to seek out the in-tier hidden there in my areas.
And that leads to the other part of the problem: I used to check trader twice a day, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I'd clear FS trades and all small city fair same tier trades (or cross tier if they were really small; we all needed help at first!). Before we could filter out Sentient goods I only tried finding the small city trades about once or twice/week as my trader began having 50pages of trades. Now I can filter out Sentients, but with the glut of T3:T1 trades, I still only do this once or twice/week. I've noticed lately that many of the T3:T1 trades are being 'discounted' to make them 3 star trades so they clutter the front end of the trader. If I'm short on time, small cities suffer because I'm not going to spend a lot of time in there looking for them. If pages 1 & 2 are all cross-tiers, I close the trader and go do something else...
