Looks like the answer to your post title is right there.I got the boot from my fellowship because the ArchMage didn't like scrolling through useless offers.
I guess it bothers some people and I still don't understand why.
"determine the 'value' of every trade before accepting it." is a "struggle".
So it's 'work' to skip over the 0-star trades.
There are 2 members in my fellowship who will take 0-star trades on purpose because it's still a better deal than the Wholesaler.
More work than I want to do, yes. Within the FS, I want mindless clicking. You don't. That's fair. I joined a group that agrees with me. Feel free to either find one that agrees with you or form your own. Good luck!So it's 'work' to skip over the 0-star trades.
Yes, it is. And other players shouldn’t have to sort through additional trades because you struggle with self-discipline. The trader is designed for the trading of goods, hence its name.So it's 'work' to skip over the 0-star trades.
Ok so them members would take your 0 star trades that you are saving for future researches and you wouldn't have them goods on hand when you need them (this is what you said in your first post which is counter productive and I highly doubt that is why you are doing it). So your next post (the one I quoted) doesn't jive with your previous post of using the trades to save goods you need, so I can only assume you are posting these 0 star trades to get ahead on goods at the expense of your other FS members. You are in fact making them do all the work of producing extra goods just to give them to you at a discount. I will accept some 0 star trades from newer players in my FS to help them get the goods needed to build their own manufactories so that they can get their production going and start to be a productive member of the FS. Any member that I thought was doing this sort of thing for their own gain and taking advantage of others in my FS would get the boot as well. You really need to build only your boosted goods manufactories and trade for the others at a fair price or you will be seen as taking advantage of others and will have a really hard time finding a good FS to be in and to find players that will take them trades. The only reason players are taking your trades at the moment is you are a small city and they are trying to help you out, but if you keep doing this players will stop taking any of your trades at all.There are 2 members in my fellowship who will take 0-star trades on purpose because it's still a better deal than the Wholesaler.
Lots of things are possible, but that doesn't mean players like those methods. Lots of people don't like regular 0- star trades, so they make that a rule for membership in their group. Just like in the real world, people create clubs with all sorts of membership criteria. They're entitled to determine rules for their group, just as you're entitled to find or found a group that suits your style better.Why would the developers make lopsided trades possible if they didn't want folks to use them?
just write it down on a piece of paper it works like magic (if you need help remember to look at the paper put PAPER in your city name)I use 0-start trade offers to set aside goods I'll need later in upcoming Technologies
