New type of trading

Grey · Post by **Grey** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 5:14 am

Flaming an idea based on spelling is pretty low. However, I don't like the idea of anything giving me a progress bar just delay me. If I have to wait a second to load my pod screen, I'm quitting. But if there is an extra click during trades I could live with that. That still gives me the chance to see if someone is hitting my forces or I'm being attacked. Just sitting there would be murder - literally for the traders being podded over and over, the person playing getting bored and the game losing players.

A. I kind of like the idea, and I think Azool has some interesting ideas for it.

B. What seldum says is true, people will take you much more seriously if you spell your words correctly (it makes it seem like you put time and thought into the idea).

The logic here is flawed. Make it easier to kill traders, make trading more fun, make it harder. These ideas don't go together. You need to think about "seggestions" before you post them.

it makes trading more fun because it makes it harder! you have to run more. you have to be more observant.

The players that would get hurt by this are the inexperienced traders (the ones we need to encourage to stay in the game), and the ones who would benefit are the fulltime hunters (who don't need any help in their constant harassment of the new players).

dude you guys are acting like you will just automatcly die from trading now!!! you can still run!! serisously, if you just had to click one extra button thats just one extra second. and if you notice you are attacked you can just click current sector and leave.

see this is why smr sucks. and this is why smr is going to die. because no one wants change or no one will bring up there ideas to make smr better. all everyone does is just keep on flaming my ideas and say no. what about you take my ideas and then improve on them? i said that they are just ideas and i didnt fully think them through.

I agree with Ard 100% here. Yes, trading should be changed a bit, but slowing it down...that just gives kills to hunters. 2 seconds to enter port, 2+ to buy goods, and a second to get back to CS...thats 5 seconds spent at a port at the fastest...Too slow, given that most hunters can knock off 2 shots a second.

you just agree with ard because all you do is trade and you want trading as easy as possible

and hunters cant knock over 2 shots in one second there!! they are lucky if they get one shot persecond. the average shot is 2 seconds per shot.

No it does not make sense, most stores put the cash register near the exits. Regardless, who cares what Walmart or Home Depot does.

Poca, accusing people of disagreeing with you for personal reasons just makes you look foolish. I can promise you that neither baalzamin nor I have any problem staying alive in a tradeship. We are knocking down your idea because it is a horrible suggestion designed to help the vultures get more kills. If you can't take criticism without resorting to personal attacks then you should keep your suggestions to yourself.
