ever been stuck using a ppt because someone failed and closeing there thread when they got off

so when the accept your 7tril naq for there 14mil uu the uu gets raided away


so what i propose is that when you broker you set the ammount of turns that its good for

for example

Trade Your: 500 Naquadah
0 Untrained
0 Turns
trade good for xxxx amount of turns
For Their: 0 Naquadah
100 Untrained
0 Turns

Worth-wild suggestion. Only thing would be people have to we weary of scammers putting like 1 turn for $$ trades. But that is a risk they take already really.

Though i would say limit it to the 2days it is now.

More in terms of, they get the money, and the person doesn't accept the broker like right away, so it's canceled, and the other person gets both the $$ and the game resources

Perhaps minimum 1 hour commitment or something. So at least they have a chance, especially near a turn change, to see the trade before its canceled

just make accepted trades the same as rejected trades,, you have to go to the market to pick up your resources in first 12 hours then it gets sent to your realm automatically...

I'd prefer specifying expired time imo.

Make a big trade? Go on PPT. This stops you waiting your entire PPT for it to be accepted

i think brokers should need to be accepted by both sides
what i mean is that when brokers are rejected you get the recover goods button right?
but if you broker others then are forced offline for whatever reason and the other person accepts then your resources may be left in the open
so why not have a recover goods button even when they are accepted
but increase the time for you recover to like 5 days if they accept

I don't suppose it was, I just dont think theirs anything wrong with the broker atm. If you dont want trades in your broker unaccepted, trade via MSN so you know their online or be the guy recieving trades.

It is what i do in general. But its better, especially if you sleep whilst their on, and they work while your on, for example.

I just know, that generally I have no issues with the broker system. Occasionally a trader doesn't accept as fast as you'd like but isn't that what your other open slots are for :)
