Market turns in main....

Since it seems that this new lifers market is staying, i would like to suggest that the weekly alotment of trade turns should be increased to 5 (as it is in chaos) .... since we can no longer "buy" trade turns from other people, it's hard if we use 2 trades for PPT .... we are left with only 1 trade .... that, or simply make is to that ppt doesn't take a market turn :)

who agrees with this? it would benefit bigger as well as smaller players (who can't use multiply 5 yet) ....

or suggestion 3, add multiplies to 10 or 15.... :)

Adding greater multiples will only mean that the richer players have more of an opportunity to buy up more of the resources - therefore 'seeing off' the poorer players and giving the richer players more control over market prices.

I'm not sure that 'buying' MT is not allowed anymore - where does it say this? (Unless you are referring to buying MT to buy UU?).

Maybe increasing the number of trades from 3 to 5 would be a good idea (although leaving the PPT limit to 2 per week).

of course leaving the PPT at 2 per week, anything more is too much....

but also - 5 trades will benefit the little players too - they might not have a big enough bank to gather for multiply 5....rather multiply 2 for example....so 5 multiples of 2 will be better for them than 3 multiples of 2....

everyone would benefit :)

OR if we dont want the strong to benefit, we can use 5x3 multiplies.

i was just about to post something similar to this about having more MT's, 3 just really isnt enough!!

i fully agree that 5 wouldnt make ppl grow that much quicker!! especially with the new introduction of smaller trades for poorer players!!

Why not reduce the market multiple to a maximum of 3 but increase the market turns to 5

This would allow exactly the same amount of trades for the big guys and the little guys who can only afford to do a 1X or 2X multiple to get a bigger benefit :)

I think the best thing would be to increase trades to 5 per week but definately no increase to PPT's.

Also keep PPT as a trade - that way big spenders who use PPT for trading can still have 3 MT's and poorer player will be able to use all 5 as they wont want to use PPT that often.

The 'Big' guys need to give the 'little' guys a chance to grow :lol:
