I didn't know about guild members not having the option to pick only 'fair' guild member trades: I use the app, which has a restricted-ability market. It is OK to raid and steal but not to give people the chance to buy at rates that reflect supply and demand! seems to want ALL trades to be his definition of 'fair' regardless who the seller and buyer are. If a guild member takes the option to pay more that 1:1 that is certainly not my fault.īut it goes further than that. So, what ARE 'fair trades' and who is it that has determined this 'planned political economy' (aka communism) and decided that it should be what all other players adhere to?Ĭlick to expand.So, it is my fault if a guild member can't read the market screen and make sensible decisions?īy your logic, everything in a shop should always cost the same because some customers might feel hard-done-by when they chose to pay more for their product than anyone else! A stone mason takes up almost an entire house more than a lumber mill, so it's quite reasonable that stone should cost more, or why would anyone bother with the stuff instead of a house and something they can force other people to sell stone to them for? In the Middle Ages, a player can fit two roperies in the space of a single saltworks. It certainly can't be fair that all goods of an age are traded on a 1-1 because not all goods-poducers take the same space. When raiding, even some good defenders lose out and they can do little about it. On the market, nobody has to accept my offers: I am not making them trade at any price at all and if nobody took any trades, the exchange rates available would go down (be more favourable to buyers).

I also raid players, taking goods off them without giving them anything at all in return.

Some of my offers expire withour being picked up, many are taken. I also put trades on the market to see what the market will bear, in other words I don't attempt any kind of communist parity but do my best at the capitalist market. I do this to help out players in the hope they will help me out in some way when I need it, even though some of these 1-1 trades are not favourable. I put trades on the market for guild-only at 1 to 1.

I don't understand this 'unfair trades' stuff.
