firstly I'm going to state I have not read every single comment in this thread but skimmed past a lot of the discussion…
re the "stock market" comparison: i'd compare it more to price gouging during extreme circumstances. Like when you see a 24 pack of water for sale at the store for 85 dollars because there is a hurricane and it cant be gotten. there are no substitutes, so you take it or you don't. to me that's the problem with these scalpers/trolls/parasites… they take opportunities from people who are playing the GAME and turn it into an opportunity for themselves to play the PLAYERS.
for me that's the reason a solution of some sort should be found, whether it's removing the ability to be that troll, or rebalancing the goods being produced so that no one has an abnormal surplus or inability to match up good trades. all i want is to be able to fairly play the game without being placed at a disadvantage by the coding or by people taking advantage of it to be a 'big shot" controlling trades/goods.
