For example, they would post 100 Silk for 200 Glass.

What they would do is post 1:2 downtrades on the guild thread. Just to illustrate this, let's see how the guys who got me kicked out of my old guild would operate. Making arbitrary rules about prices is never a good idea, either in real life, or in a game.

They just didn't want another trader in the guild, especially one offering market value trades. Several of the biggest complainers were members who were abusing the trading system and saw me as 'competition', which was absurd because my trades hardly ever conflicted with theirs. Nevertheless, a bunch of members complained about it, so the officers made an ultimatum: stop posting 'unfair' trades on the open market or leave the guild. Note that none of these trades were posted on the guild trading threads, only on the open market, which theoretically was allowed by the guild rules. I actually got forced out of the first big guild I joined because I posted a lot of 'non-fair' trades on the open market. Not only are some goods more valuable than others even in the same age, the ratio changes depending on the age especially, especially at the higher end.Īs a player who has done a lot of trading, the InnoGames 'fair trade' idea has caused me a lot of grief in the form of guilds sort of adopting the golden ratio blindly as a policy and making the rule that guild members can only post so-called 'fair trades'. Obviously, this ratio does not reflect the actual market value of these goods. The game designers have arbitrarily set what they consider to be 'fair trades' as a 2:1 ratio from one age to the next. In any case, I will make a few comments about the market system and the 'fair trade' concept.
