Is brokering naq out of the bank better than taking out in the open.

Trading among players

(I'm new at this so if i do something wrong or against norms just let me know :D)


I was thinking about trading among my alliance. However, when i want to trade naq (large amounts) i have to risk taking it out of my bank and leaving it in the open for a few minutes changing pages and everything, (my computer isn't a super gaming computer or anything so its not lighting fast) so it gets taken. I think we shouldn't have to take naq out of the bank to trade it.

Advantages:
1) Alliances can help each other with little fear of being hit when taking out large amounts of naq
Disadvantages:
1) Less people get lucky hitting you in the 2 minutes you have naq out.


Just a suggestions for future game updates :D

Re: Trading among players

This has been mentioned before - although not for some time - and it has always been said that it is never going to happen.

There should be a chance of being hit - otherwise what is the point? We all just become stat builders!

There needs to be some risk left in the game because at the moment there is very little - certainly not as much as there used to be in the early days.

Besides - naquadah is a physical substance and so to trade it and thus use it, it needs to be removed from the secure facility (bank, vault, alpha site, whatever) and transported to the recipients realm. Consider those few seconds/minutes it is out in the open as it being transported - and thus open to ambush.

Re: Trading among players

Use tabs. If you have a tab open on your bank with the ammount you want to take out already typed in and you have a tab open at the broker screen with the ammount you want to send and recieve already typed in then you just confirm on the bank tab and confirm the trade in the broker tab and it takes seconds rather than minutes...
The trade broker reports trade from Surtr to *Teesdale_ of 100,000,000 Naq for 33,000,000,000,000 Naq is complete.
