restrictions on number of trades

Recommended Posts

Could we please limit the number of trades that people can have for one resource, at any one time? No one should need more than 1-2 buy or sell orders, per resource.

 

It might also make the market a bit friendlier to players who don't spend all day on the market and lessen the chance that we end up with a market that's completely run by at most a dozen nations.

 

EDIT: Rephrased for clarity

You mean at one time, correct?

That's still terrible unless your goal is forcing the big, active players to quit. I frequent have up to four going at a time in the same resource due to quantity limits on offers.

If you keep the same price, the game just adds to the existing trade. So in the above case, it would still count as a single trade, you just submitted it 3 or 4 times, to stack the trade.

If the majority is for that, it's hilarious, but so be it. And no, not always food.

Agreed. Please feel as free as I have in requesting the adjustment of the maximum quantity per offer and this is all solved.

I've never seen this happen. Every time I have done so it has stacked. Please show proof that this happens?

I'm not saying I don't believe you but it could just be a bug so am genuinely interested to see it happen.

Since the game currently stacks offers, I think an easy solution could be to just stack and "update" the price if you list more than one of the same resource.

I'd imagine there're at least some traders who do that, but I think the majority do it all by hand still. Varying levels of pricing can work well to gain immediate returns on a resource and then plan for the depletion of those offers at a certain price point so adding additional offers at varying prices is basically planning ahead for those who don't constantly check on the market's current pricing.

The real problem is that a captcha is required for accepting offers as opposed to posting offers. Captchas should be for posting offers instead, since people who use algorithms to dominate the market do exactly that.

There are already captachas for posting offers.
