The market...

The general idea of the market is nice, but I hope I'm not the only one who finds the limits and rates a bit messed up...
70bil naq for 144 AT? No one is able to farm for these amounts yet. And according to Jason the rates are only going to rise...
A max of 360 Miners, I hope that will increase, otherwise it will be worthless lateron when people have 50k+ UP.
And what's with the limit of 144 AT per day? I produce 288 a day by myself already... All in all I will only be able to attack 28 times a day. If I remember correctly we had 2k + 5k from MTs every week in the last wave. And now I have to decide between farming and growing or massing?
I thought you wanted to make Q faster with the new market, Jason, not slower
I hope you fix this. Other than that I have to say it's a nice system that - if worked out a little better - would make a great market fo all waves.

yeh at the moment it's better to get naq with turns on market then to buy turns with naq to farm with...seeing how 1AT is worth 483,333 naq worth....

totally new system. no real 'test' to balance rates.
i suggest you use the market to your advantage now - if turns to naq is not good, naq to turns has to be - and visa versa...
keep in mind, too, it is daily - not weekly like before.
keep posting - i will follow this closely....and i reserve the right to say "mehhh" to anyone who complains about changing rates

The rates will normalize themselves in a few days. I can farm close to 70 mil with 150 turns right now, when people have double their current sizes I expect most people to be able to do that.
That being said, I think you should keep a close tab on what is being purchased most and adjust the market as fit.

I like the idea behind this market...
As long as the rates stabilize i think it will work nicely

I think everyone besides Scar missed my point
I wasn't complaining about the rates, but about the
amounts of AT on the market.
I basically have to choose between hitting a few targets every day, or being able to mass someone every 2 or 3 days...

I presume that in time the rates will grow and become more acceptable..

Exactly, 144 AT's extra per day??? Oh well, i wasn't planning to play this wave much anyway, just as wlel coz there's going to be zero massing and with the current market rates for AT's there won't even be any farming either.
As it stands i need to make 7.5 mill profit farming someone with 15AT's otherwise i might aswell trade my AT's on the market and get the same amount for no effort. Looking at the average hits just before the market went live i would say it was approx 2 mill average hit, so quite why the market went live with 2.5x the average farming rate i have no idea...but it's going to ruin the wave if it's not fixed immediately because no one can realistically farm, let alone mass.

Bump
Jason, please look into these issues.
Didn't even know there was no market supporter status this wave...
And please raise the amount of AT that can be bought on the market.
Being only half active this wave already means only having 300 AT or so saved up. It's simply going to be impossible to mass more than 1 person a week
and grow at the same time.
I can understand you probably don't want to raise the amount of AT as it is the base for your calculation, more AT means people can trade for more UU or naq.
My suggestion: keep the naq with AT, UU with AT and naq with miners base the same, just double the amount of AT we are able to buy with naq.

I futher suggest that a 30min ppt be given, Cause there my bet is ALOT of friends are helping eachother out. and Cross trading will be high.
by 30mins i mean give 1 min ppt, and the rest is - time. So that at max someone only gets 30mins ppt break.
