The powers that be have never been happy with auctions. This 24 hour rule is their way of killing it off. Not a way to protect players. If they wanted to protect players, get rid of problem. Needs to be simple way to report bad traders and scammers. As in the report on chat, but a simple button or option on friend menu when click on name. Have option to report the person as bad trader/scammer. And when enough independent reports are filed on 1 person, then have action taken. Thats how you protect players. Get rid of scammers. Not hurt everyone trying to "fix" the problem. Its like saying, "hey, there is a bug on your cheek. Let me swat it with this sledge hammer."
The new trade system worked great on the test server. It handles the gem items (those that could be gifted, at any rate) so this should actually make it much easier and safer for gem buyers to convert items into gold coin. Bulk sales from auctions? Again, the new trade system can handle bulk goods - and with the added security of it being a trade transaction. Trade, as stated several times, can allow for the work around of LS sales, as long as they do not need to be on the friend list in order to get the LS invite. I did not try any buffs on the test server, so I cannot comment on how their sales actually work. Hopefully someone else can clarify that.
It seems this only hampers scams and charity. You want to be helpful to new players? Link them online tutorials, videos, or articles to educate them. Or hold open 4-5 guild spots to bring in new players, help them all you want, and then kick them out on the curb.
I think the only thing wrong with this new system is helping new peeps and loot spot. I think the best way to fix this problem is maybe adding loot spots to trade system then it wont really matter much if they are friends or not. The other issue with the 24 hour period is that most of us like tgo help nw peeps in game to enjoy and succeed in the game and eventually join your guild. I think by the time you hit lvl 17 and have the ability to trade you should have a clue on what you are doing. If you are unsure then watch and wait to see approx pricing. That is what I did.
I would have to say tho alot of this new stuff is because of so many peeps complaining about this and that that the solution to the problem gets put in place and no one likes it. the only thing it truely does affect is loot spots. I havent agreed with alot of the new changes that this game has had. When I started the game back in march it was actually challenging you have to actually think. Now it like castle empire for dumbies. Eco tab to tell you if you are making or losing. Combat preview to see if you ban win. Why dont they developers make more adventures concentrate on making higher lvls. Cause at lvl 50 all we have is loot spots and trade tab. Need to keep the people interested in the game. I am not seeing that anymore and have started playing other games. Just saying we need more lvls and adventure for the lvl 50 player and for the players trying to get to 50

IMO, everything about the new trading system sucks. I have been 'trying' to use it in the test game but it absolutely sucks crap!!! Another incredible and complete failure UBI![]()
This is going to hurt new players far more than it will help.
As an experienced player, having more players on my list hurts my security by trying to get around the 24h limit by having anyone i might trade with already on my list.
As for lootspots - i will invite the player, then post a trade of 1 log for 1500gc on trade tab. If someone else takes that 1 log for 1500gc, i wont care, butits primary design will be for lootspot.
can we trade settlers please...
i have been preparing for this moment for a while... i have 37.5k settlers in my star ready to sell...
and i can't sell them...
Is this only for Zeus players because I'll switch to Ares if it is...
