well, bandwidth would be a problem, for whatever reason. note that dan did implement the "show top damagers" button on base battles to reduce lag.
there is a trade forum. (if people dont use the forum thats their loss already)
I could think of more but i just can't be bothered, it's late and my brain is going oozy.

bid with credit is hard !! we must type 1,342,435,535 for buying 1k ctp ?? its too long !!
change it please with kurenite. it would make trade easyer.

Only for people accustomed to using the trade forum would find using kurenite an easier currency.

no you don't need to do that. if you bid on an auction, theres a preset value that it allows you to bid each time, which is 10% increase on teh current bid

This energy to bid really needs to be taken out, Its just encouraging people to wait til the auction is almost over and then to bid otherwise you would have wasted a lot of energy just to compete with others bidding.

HEAR, HEAR!

low ranks crying....

332. How about you?

586, yeah i was right

I've won and i'm waiting the items for like 10 minutes. Same goes for the bid slot.This is annoying.

all i want is a buy now price, like on ebay if you dont want to wait you can just pay the higher buy now amount, instead of having to wait for the auction

also, a option to sell things for GP, so you can sell like a planet flux or the stat booster artis or something

no matter what rank you are, thats a minimum of 5 minutes worth of energy, which you may have to spend again within the next 10 seconds.
also, 403

i would rather have 10 energy + 10% bid fee and 5% auction fee, now people are just spamming the #&$# out of auctions inflating the price while theres still over 15 hours on the timer

Really ur going to turn a suggestion and idea thread into an attack on others ideas,

either say why you think my suggestion is a good or a bad one and why...

removing the energy cost = spamm = unnecessary insane price inflation = unstable economy

Quantum Flare
Quantity: 91
Seller: Lillebenn 75B 824.2M 21 hours, 26 mins

ya thats right, quantum flares selling for 1B each, is that not insane? even with the energy cost youcan still jack the price up

yeah i did, i probably should have explained it better

of all those i dislike this the most, there are already complaints that the GTC, as crappy as it may be, is pretty much for big spenders. by adding this one idea you would make it permanently for big spenders as an action of 100,000 could be proxy bid for 100B, by that point it is no longer a bid.

I would think the GTC should have 2 primary functions

1) Keep the trading game as much in the game as possible and limit the influence of black market trading and expose as much of the player base as possible

2) Be another method to generate GP purchases to make the game owners some money ..

That being said my suggestions try to stay inline with the above 2 goals

1) Remove the ability to trade with "friends" Trading should be in legion or with Trade Pacts (which require energy to forge) - flame away but that has to happen for the gtc to work that being said you can't do this till the gtc is fixed.

2) Change the currency to a new non-weighted currency that you have the ability to purchase upon entering the trade market. Dealing with hundreds to thousands per item is alot nicer than millions to billions per This will make the market to some degree neater and easier to navigate.

3) Remove the 20% tariff, we already pay this upon selling minerals OR introduce a new LOW level quest chain that removes the tariff at 5% per completion down to 5%

4) I don't have a problem with the 2 slots for the buyer though I would advocate a MISSION not a GP item increasing that to a max 5 or so .. however sellers should by default have a much higher cap say 10 slots expandable via missions to 20 .. Having 2 slots for the seller automatically creates a shortage of supply thus driving people back to the trade channels for easier and more abundant trades

5) Energy requirement is just silly, as a buyer you are already limited to 2 buying slots. If anything it should be the seller who pays the 10 energy as encouragement to make sure its priced properly to sell. No one is going to pay gp for a refill to get in on an auction for planetary time vortexes. Energy requirement drives people to trade chat

6) Buy it Now price.. there is no reason for this not to be in.. again not being there drives people to trade chat

7) GP items should be available for trade on the market THIS should be the driver for the trade market for dan and his group.. The people with the money will buy structural extenders, and planet fluxes and terraformers and put money in dans pocket and they will place the items up for sale on the gtc.. its already happening in the trade markets, planet fluxes and arti warehouses and weather stations are HUGE sellers on the trade channels, open up the market to the entire player base and more gp sales will happen

8) remove the item limit from sales .. 1000 em limit is just silly

9) do not put in the option for max paying price auto bids .. I like the interactive auction format and no reason to put additional load on the servers to calculate all that


Those are my 9 cents..

GP / no way

mento would just outbid everyone
but gp items yes , but no terraformers , quasi and that fort of stuff

Why not .. the point is to make dan money .. allowing Terraformers / QSE's to be sold makes dan more money.. and that should be the point

10th cent - Make it legit and show high bidder / who won the auction..
