Resource Exchange

With the idea of a resource market already out there. I’d like to see a Resource Exchange building, where one can post resources they do not want to the entire realm, and have it up for trade for resources they want. That way you are not limited to nodes or your clan to get resources, but instead the whole realm has the ability to trade with one another, the same idea could apply for relics, and obviously taxes would be included, the same general idea could apply to cross realm trading, or potential other items that could be added to the game.

 

As for the pvp aspect. Its commonly known that defense is heavily favored. A solo person would find it tough to take on a single player around there might as is, so I would think pvp is fine as is. As for being abusable, if you are paying other resources in exchange for someone elses then i dont see how that could be an issue. Much like with markets of other games as well, the prices for high value resources such as gold would likely rise so someone wouldnt be able to just do 1 for 1 and instead gold’s value could be say 5 to 1. Add in the taxes, these systems have a way of balacing themselves. And in that way its no different from trading with a clanmate, it allows every player to interact with one another through a generalized trading system, and would be no different from the already common occurence of multiple accounts being made so someone can funnel resources to themselves.

 

Or in that regard. If there is a problem with a realm setting the prices. The game makers themselves are able to set exchange rates. As this is a forum for discussing these things, rather than telling me my idea is bad, provide examples and feedback to the idea and what problems could arise, or how these problems can be resolved

 

Add taxes onto that or exhange rate. Like i said. Defense is already heavily favored, if 1 gold = say 5 food, or what have you. Just because you can switch it doesnt mean you gain a better tradeoff. Or for that matter. If its a market where you buy and sell between players, there would be a trading post limit/max amount you can trade. Add that to someone actually having to take you up on your trade offer. I dont see a way to quickly switch off unless you are lowering your own trade prices substantially. This isnt a just swap at will type of system, merely an extension of the resource sending mechanic, except it spans all players and instead you pay one another for what you want. Regardless of what value that YOU may set. It all runs off its own value market which fluctuates based on what players want and value more

 

As previpusly stated. It runs like an actual market between other players, it doesnt have to be specifically resource, but other things could be used to exchange for resources with other players, or for that matter even jewels (i dunno about jewels though). But it still runs off the fact that your deal has to be desireable to another player, many games use a market system, this is pretty much just the same system.
