If we can no longer have the makret withdraw option can we at least have somehting telling you what u have on the market. Right now i think i have about 5 1bil posts of food that is going to expire soon and i wish i could know what i have left and when tyo expire so i can be sure to be on for withdraw and not lose hundreds of billions. and important events doesnt help much when your dealing with large amounts and people keep buying it like 1 mil at a time |

Free Market, if none then black market ... Not that hard to say about it, just to implement |
DrunkenMasters
99+ day(s) ago | If the game is more balanced->better a.miner ships->more miners->more minerals
That`s another solution. Personally I don`t believe it will happen in the next 2-3 months... |
DrunkenMasters
99+ day(s) ago | Yep, RT is in need for minerals... |

99+ day(s) ago | something is defenetly needed to prevent the kind of loss i took when withdraw option was taken away.. free market is a good idea the way i see it, minerals will allways sell cuz there is demand for them.. just look at rt market over the last how many months and see what was there to buy? not a hell of a lot and belive me i was a market hound.. if u can not aford that listed price u will either make more $ to afford it or incraese ur infra to make what u need or change race to make a killing on what u do sell |

99+ day(s) ago | lol LC naw that`s perfectly healthy just try not to do it out loud or on the forum any more then necassary =P
Mac yeah i know they will... they`ll look at those numbers and they`ll manipulate them to all hell until they`ve cheated their way into heaven and back and then we`ll loose that option too!! |

99+ day(s) ago | Yeh HB lol, they will find some crazy to abuse it lolz |
HoneyBucket{HH}
99+ day(s) ago | Good call free... that would at very least be helpful and nobody could "abuse" being able to see what they have on the market i don`t think... hmmm maybe they could, should def keep that into consideration eh o.O |
drunkenmasters
99+ day(s) ago | I think this will be great. Price cap is something that limits the game. |
Omegian
99+ day(s) ago | Less empires go Tax, eh not a bad idea EA ... but that is where also you have to think about demand, i mean sure tax miners might survive, just not many and its only RT facing problems really. Oh well, it helps out in the long run for sure, bye bye taxers, hello Black Market ...
Dont think its that hard to implement |

99+ day(s) ago | i think the free market is the best idea proposed.
granted the first month prices will go crazy minerals going for god knows wat and such BUT after a cirtain amount of time it will stabilise, more will go miner cos the higher mineral prices, more will go agri empires cos food will spike more often and more will go CG miners cos goods will be more lucrative due to silly people buying them for over 4 per (trust me it WILL happen) and less empires going the lowest income style in the game (comm)
it wouldnt be too hard to change, just remove the ceiling cap on markjet postings and its done. so wat if ore is going for 100k a unit? if u really need it u can strip mine explored/captured colonies for it. minerals too high for u? do some mining research to get ur own proiduction up if ur that desperate.
it will make for a more dynamic market just like 90% of the other games i play. and it works well there, its all cyclic, peaks and troufs. in the end the median will average out to be an acceptable level. people will be prepared to spend XXX for minerals, once its past that they stop buying and the market stagnates, people are forced to sell for cheaper to get teh sale, the market drops or even crashes, then once reaches `acceptable ` levels dfor other empires it will start to rise and repeat the cycle till its broken somehow be it by a UW or a total market shortage were its all posted as rediculas prices
would make playing the market alot more interesting ill give u that much |

99+ day(s) ago | Why not just have 100% free market system in which the price is determined by demand.
food goes sky high than more people will become ag terrans
minerals go sky high more will become miners
But eventually the true market price will stabilze. Try reading Adam Smiths invisible hand. This market is a tragedy
Either go 100% free market or regulate everything |
EvilAbadayos
99+ day(s) ago | simple solution
black list the abusers, put withdraw bak in...
problem solved, obviously with a lkittle ttweak so withdrawn items dont revert to 0 hours left ad go to the top of the pile |
Eternus
99+ day(s) ago | This has been suggested by someone else and all admins agree it is a very good suggestion that we will be putting to stephen at least until market withdrawl can hopefully be fixed |
