Aisha Greyjoy Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) I think each nation should be limited to one buy order and one sell order per commodity. Maybe add a "Project" to allow more. The reason I say this is that trades get cluttered. I can offer 20 trades of 1 unit to bury my competitors offers and generally annoy people. Projects are also nice cash sinks. Edited August 15, 2014 by Aisha Greyjoy Quote Duke of House Greyjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afya Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I like this. But only if it applies solely to the global market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'd go a step further and limit it to either one buy OR one sell order per resource. It still wouldn't stop people collaborating to exploit the gap between buy and sell prices but at least they'd have to put a bit more effort into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellhound Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Personally it just sounds like a bad idea to me, selling and trading on the global market is a way to make money and for nations to therefore grow, why in the world would we try to limit that? Annoyance isn't a valid reason to stunt people's growth, there should be another solution to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despartainian Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 A better solution: Lets say you're selling 20 food at $40 a ton. You go to make another offer of 20 food at $40 a ton. Instead of making a new offer, it just adds them together to make 40 food for $40. Now, if you want to shortsell yourself, and sell 20 food at $39 a ton, it'll make two different offers. A simple solution to keep people from drowning competition without making a personal sacrifice themselves. I don't think that we should ever limit how many buy and sell offers a person has, because that's the best way to make money. The Market can change very quickly sometimes, and limiting how people interact with it is just going to make it harder for everyone needlessly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagpuss Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Aye that one makes sense, technically people can still drown out others offers by having a range of offers out witrh $1 diff in unit price still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayayay Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Hahaha Deja Vu, we already had the 10 seconds thing added, I can't even remember my other 7 suggestions at this point. Sheepy can put the limits back in again in a few weeks and everything will be okay.
