Halve the market trade packages

Currently, market trades give you the possibility to trade so much resources for an average player, that often they cannot afford to use all trades even if they wanted, at the same time, each packagesize should be made into one half or a quarter, because many new players don't realise that they can spend 1/2, or 1/4 of the market trade and are sad that they cannot use their market trades for trading since each package is too big.

At the same time, I think the amount of resources you can trade each week is too big. Most of average sized players will never use them, even if they wanted, because they dont produce enough resources to trade so much. As a result, less people are using the SS market, which I think is a pity.

Market should remain an option, but should have less trade volume so that players have more incentive to use the private market.

I suggest the following changes:

Change current maximum amount of market trades from 16 to 28
Produce 2 market trades per day

each market trade will offer 1/4 of current packages.
(Basically the size of each package becomes quartered)

Cash market packages remain big as they are, won't be influenced by the change.


Use 8 Market Trades to receive one Market Reserve

Use 1 Market Reserve to receive 5 Market Trades
(You cannot have more than 28 Market Trades. All excess is LOST)

Use 10 Market Trades to apply for a 24 hour Temporary Aderan Council Protection

Use 5 Market Reserves to apply for a 48 hour Temporary Aderan Council Protection

Use 1 Market Reserve to receive a 4 Hour Temporary Aderan Council Protection

Use 1 Market Reserve to increase your natural bank size by 5%

Result:
This will lead to two times more market trades to make trades more simply and at the same time only half the trade volume per week to increase incentive for private market.

Bad idea

First of all they can make reserves if they can not use them now.

Second, you already have multiples : 0.25 , 0.5 , 0.75 so it's easy to use it without having to bank for the smallest players.

Third, as it has been said STs are the biggest limitation, not ATs.

I gota go with Rflash on this one.

when my population was 60k even when it was 40k i could easily afford a .25 package.

if anything add a .125 / 1/8 package . .25 package is about 85 - 110 mil . A .125 package would only be 44 - 55 mil and the starting bank size is 50 mil .

small players can exchange a reserve to increase their bank size by 5% and then store enough kuwal to buy the package.

now that you get an extra ST on OT small players with 10k pop can exchange 100 STs for a .25 package.

im going to have to concur with rflash too, It has there in writing that you can do fractions of the current trade. The current system is working fine from what I see.

Just to add to the ratio here

i think his point was that new players are incapable of using their eyes and mouse to find out they can trade fractions of a trade

As far as I am aware of that situation and even am categorically against supporting it with dumbing the game down, I have to concede the fact that that if you dont consider it, you might find yourself in a game without many players rather quickly

Huh?
