And they'll be doing so on the basis of clearing out shops with goods they don't need, but everyone else might. By directly making the economy worse and more miserable for everyone else.Lavinya said:Putting them on bubbles makes it that much harder for anyone who doesn't own bubblixes, or isn't swimming in goop/has genies for buttons to burn.
One person only at a time means the fastest wins and will likely mean rich getting richer (on goop) and the poorer aren't looking for gold or comm sinks and will likely not participate.

It is worth noting that a thread looking at the status quo was INSTANTLY shifted to being a conversation about Glomdoring and the possibility/nonexistence of an admin bias.... by some glom players!

Re: Aethertraders!
This seems kinda like you're entirely unable to compete without bubblixes. Buttons exist, but it sounds like you only get one piece per trade? So you're spending a button and some comms to earn one button. Also, what do you mean by 'refined', just stuff that needs more comms per item like masterweapons or crowns?
oh whoops there's helpfiles on it already, "Some crafted items have a valuation based on the number of commodities used to create them and the skill of the crafter." so yeah comm count based

Re: Aethertraders!
This sounds like a bad idea to solve a problem that doesn't exist, and fill a niche players weren't asking for - all while they're literally begging for doing any variety of other things... Including projects that have been bumped time and again so that "all coding resources" can go towards Timequakes.

Re: Aethertraders!
Another way for whales to get ahead. A majority of players are never, ever going to use this system. If it's one person, it's going to be whatever person is quickest about hitting a bubblix alias and tracking down the trader.

Re: Aethertraders!
I'm confused as to why a clear commodity sink is restricted to one person at a time. Wouldn't it make sense to maybe give a 10 minute window that the mob stays there and accepts all your garbage clothes, jewelry, and food?
