  1. Honestly even as a major trader, I would support limiting the number of open offers in a certain resources since it will make navigating the trade page easier.
  2. Sorry, I constantly update my offers 18 hours a day 😛 On a serious note, limiting the number of offers you can create in a day is definitely not the way to go. Trading is one of the few ways that players can generate active income alongside raiding and baseball. So adding a cap on the number of offers you can place will highly discourage players from putting in the hours. This will inevitably cause even fewer people to engage in a game where most already heavily rely on passive income. Trading is also one of the few ways for newer players like me to level the playing field in terms of total income when the overall player base is so established. While facing an active trader that constantly overbids or undercuts is frustrating, and I admit I am an annoying one at that, it is not like you cannot buy and sell your resources in the market. Like Ramona has mentioned, you can directly buy or sell to existing offers on the market if you cannot bother to compete in the market yourself. Alternatively, nothing is stopping you from finding a trader and making a deal with them. I myself have helped many people buy and offload resources in the market in the past. Lastly, traders do serve an essential role in the game. Not only do they provide liquidity in the market, but the competition between traders themselves (the constant overbidding and undercutting) is also beneficial for players who don't want to engage in the market. Due to the tightened margins, people can buy or sell to existing orders at much better prices than otherwise. Plus the existence of active traders limits mispricing in the market, as ludicrously priced orders cannot survive on the market for long in this case.
