I didn't really look at the other responses, but I think 4 or 5 would be best.
Sometimes you just need it.

I like the idea of tieing ascensions in with extra stuff, would encourage more ppl to ascend past LG1 if they got extra bonuses other than 1% on stats ...
I like this idea, I think I even mentioned this before....
But a 4th slot would be okay..

i suggest 10 slots because I think most trades are for a minimum of 1m uu for instance and that way you could go bed and hopefully when you wake up or finish school, work, up to a 10m UU trade could be waiting to be accepted. Not everyone has time to spend all there time refreshing the screen waiting for one of ther slots to become free.

More trade slots could potentially make the turnaround time for those buying/selling goods with $ a lot faster and more profitable (a very bad thing IMO).
Aside from that I see no real advantage to game-play other than making the game easier.

I voted no although it really 'erks me to an extreme when someone posts "selling X for X amount [ONLINE] and they leave after 5 mins.

Well thats where forum users fail themselves. We have trade feedback threads. First off people should use them more. Second off when some one says {[ONLINE]} and it takes 5 hrs to complete you should leave them negative feedback.
I'd love to see a system like E-Bay for trade feedbacks LOL

How about you differentiate between incoming and out going brokers and have 3 of each..... No one can be silly as you can still only set 3 brokers but you can also receive 3 at the same time so back to janders example way back in the topic about the 7 mill uu.... you could just broker the last mill to some one who is buying... problem solved.... given i didn't read any further then the first page of the topic forgive me if im repeating stuff.... wow some people like to make things complicated

and in all seriousness this doesn't need to be changed, just pick your brokers carefully

Thats possible?
I'd only agree to this if it was small increases for doing something long term like 15 or 20 ascentions, you waste that many resources for pretty much no gain, you might deserve something like this.
LOL this makes me laugh
Dont ascend that far then???? I love it how you justify the people with the most powerful accounts in the game deserve help

I agree. I haven't read the entire thread (I am being lazy), but a part of the game I enjoy is achieving success and managing limited resources. If the game is made easier, in that regard, where is the gratification? It would also dilute the achievement of those that ascend and become powerful, compared to those that blazed the trail without that advantage.
