Buy market turns

Maybe market turns could be sold at a rate a size 4 trade? It would be able to benefit people who want more turns, but it also limits them since it uses a lot of resources.

What I'm saying is since we can trade up to 5 stacks, what if the cost of a trade was 4 stacks?

So what - you're saying you could buy a market turn for approx 8 billion naq?

Yeah, well give or take depending on how the market is going.

naq is no problem for high ranking players...

um, no.
I don't want to whine "it will only benefit the powerful," but it applies so well, if you did this, then only the top ranked players could use the market, ever.
Besides, if it costs 8 bill naq to use the market once, who's going to use it?

i say leave it as it is.
if you need market turns there are always new (or old) players who offer to sell them to you and for less than 8 bil.
and besides, most suggestions generally benefit the stronger players more than the weaker ones.

i`m sick of tryna get more market turns and plus half the time buying other ppls ones r no gud to me...cause i like to buy mostly miners!
they sud bring it in and to stop the whinning of the powerful get more powerful..just bring in a fixed price for whatever rank u r...say top 100 all pay double to what ranked 100-300 wud pay and so on!

i would very much like that or something similar
ability to have someone broker you offering you mt(s) in exchange for naq/whatever, so basically peer-to-peer deal, not buying mts from blue sky - and i would disagree about pre-set rate, rather make it negotiable like regular broker deals are
market turns are traded anyway so why not make it easier for both parties
of course you couldnt buy lifers with those as you cannot with mts you buy from other people
i wouldnt say it would benefit the powerful - i mean it would in similar manner as people selling uu benefit the powerful that buy them - but mts are being sold, and bought by both strong and weak - so it would just make it easier for both parties, skip the usually long and tiresome convos explaining the process...
but it wouldnt do much more then that - as far as balance is concerned
other version of this idea i can think of that you can buy mts from the "market", but they would cost more and more subsequently(for example first one 2 bil, 2nd one 4 bil etc), and definitely not fixed.
it could benefit strong more then weak - but i dont think that would be the case - even small players that are trading a lot can afford enough mts so price increase would make it unprofitable to use mts obtained in this manner, so they would revert to buying mts old fashioned way after a certain point.
it would also enable to buy ppt or to take advantage of awesome market rates when and if they pop up - by paying perhaps much much more then for normal mt, but still there are moments when one would rather give 20 bil for ppt then be massed or whatever
hehe if rate were based on that, who would want to be in top 100 anymore? at least at the time of purchase. it isnt that hard to untrain your spies when turn comes for 15 seconds now is it?
if any criteria should be used i think it should be army - yes people can "broker their army away" but brokering 10 mil miners away costs 15 bil for retraining and a mil gets converted into lifers - so it wouldnt be worth unless doing a lot of trades
