Trading

The developers plan to introduce trading! However the last comment from the developers indicated it is only an ambition, and no set idea structure has been developed. We will therefore continue to allow players to submit trading ideas so long as they conform to the posting guidelines AND the restrictions below, if they do not they will be treated as spam.

Quote:
No posting any more trade ideas/recommendations unless you can solve the game balance issue. For example.....

Lets say you want to implement trading of equipment in this game, and you know its a huge problem for cheating and game play balance, so you invent a giant super computer to analyze all trades.

Said super computer is omniscient, and guarantees that ALL trades are not a form of multi cheating. So that issue is solved.

Now lets look at what happens to the game with trading implemented, WITH the cheating loop hole plugged:

1. All equipment found or purchased will now enter the pool of players and begin circulating. Within a couple of months of the start of the game, everyone will have at least a few of the top piece of gear, thus completely devaluating the gear you worked so hard for. After all what good is a necktie of +500 shooting if everyone has one?

2. Towns would start advertising free equipment for joining, for example: Free golden buffalo for any rank 20 or above builder that joins.

Then to make matters worse players would join, take the equipment and just leave. So players would now want a way to "recall" the equipment, to punish the player involved.

3. The entire game would turn into a Monty Hall game, "Who wants a super-duper hat, come one down!" Within two months of starting a new world everyone would have everything, and it would be hideously boring.

If you want to play a game, where you have all of the equipment on the first day of play with absolutely no work, go invent one and play by yourself.

No more trading requests until you can solve the cheating and game balance issue. Enough is enough. if you want to discuss trading please find an already created thread
