Thanks.. Good information. I did join a Fellowship for a short while, but I left it because no one spoke, answered questions and only two people "helped", so I figured it was not a good one. I hope to find a good one soon.Yes, there are a bunch of horrible, selfish people in this game that think their trades are fair. But I suspect that your issue is seeing trades that are not in your discovered area yet. For any non-discovered trades, the trader adds an additional 50% fee making the trade a 1 star. Every trade in your trader that has a yellow bubble with an exclamation point in it is a trade outside your area. You can hover over those to see what the trade would be if you scout to those players.
If you are not in a fellowship, join one. Once in a fellowship, you will be able to trade with many players and avoid a fee for doing so.
If you look in the mirror, you'll probably see a smug jackass. Yes, it's my fault for not discovering them yet, and not knowing that. I asked the question, and I got a good answer before yours. I have already been punished for scouting too much by the battles being too hard. I guess that is my fault too.If you look in the mirror, you'll probably see the culprit.
If there's a small (i) next to the posted trade, the system is applying a 50% markup because YOU have not yet discovered the poster's city.
Thank you.. I appreciate that.Draugen,
Try not to let some get to you. You are most welcome here, ALL NEW PEOPLE ARE, and questions will be answered by those who don't feel the need to belittle while doing it.
You may want to reconsider your position, and thereby allow prearranged trades.Archmages can help fight this by not allowing their fellows to post anything below a 2 star trade.
Just curious, anyone in here belong to a FS that doesn't allow "bad" trades on occasion? I have only been in 2 FS, but both of them allowed for pre-arranged unbalanced trades, with zero issues.You may want to reconsider your position, and thereby allow prearranged trades.
It was suggested to do in this in order to help my members who ask for a specific need. I used to trade favorably to them and sometimes someone seems to snipe the deal.the PARTICULAR PLAYER posts a terrible 1:4 trade, exactly the inverse of the trade that you would have posted, NOBODY is going snatch it.
well that is not true! not everyone has benefited from the "player movement" - I know a bunch of people who still have very little to zero active trading neighbours, including myself.On the bright side since they started player movement everyone can have active neighbors to trade with.
