One last gripe...cross tier trades

[BrinDarby]

The 0% trading fee was enough to answer the question.

I won't argue, but you miss my point, no worries.

 

[LordVorKon]

are you thier neighbor ?

Entirely irrelevant? Trader fees a city pays are based on what that city has discovered.

yes, but there's a difference if he's thier neighbor
and they are his neighbor. His answer wasn't clear .....

False.

 

[BrinDarby]

Entirely irrelevant?

nope

False.

wrong.

(mumbles a few things, clears throat)
It does not matter if you dissagree with this train of
thought, but its both rational and ethical, not irrelivant.

Player A discovers Player B
Player B not discovered Player A
both list the same offer 1000 marble for 1000 steel ( 1:1 )
Player A's cost to accept - 1000 steel
Player B's cost to accept - 1500 steel

knowing this, Player B puts up the offer 1000:1500,
because if he's gonna pay +50% then so is the trading
partner in his opinion. Duhh, if Player A and B continue
to trade consistently.

I understand ppl getting bent outta shape when others
list offers @ 3-8 : 1 but for those players whom just need
small amounts to save them alotta time, paying even
2:1 isn't really gouging, yet when ppl complain about
anyone asking for that 50% fee .... so 1.5 : 1 . Inno chgs
us diamonds/$ for that same thing, is it such a crime for
players to get small profits by keeping a wide range of
offers up 24/7, just so others have the convienience,
always having trade goods avail if they need them ??

Irrelivant ?? no my question wasn't, I also didn't offer
an opinion of good/bad, I just offered a plausable
reason why such offers might be listed..... sheesh.
