No Plans to Implement New Sub-Forum?!?!?!

Welcome fellow Lokans,

Okay, let’s be honest. The Markets 2.0 Update was utterly horrible, and a waste of time to implement. Yeah, it’s got its pros.... pro, but is a complete letdown. Like really, a market is a place where not only where you sell things, but you trade as well. @TheFreshLemon mentioned early that it’s almost impossible to get certain restricted resources. The problem is that the market is a good way to sell things to get shards. However, that’s not what anybody wants. Like, come on people, shards are only useful for buying ancient ingots and keeping your town alive. What we the players want to see is a way to trade restricted resources for restricted resources. The market doesn‘t allow this, and for this soul reason it sucks.

Now, we are left with two solutions; one is more probable than the other.

Solution #1: Create a new Sub-Forum so we the players can negotiate trades between our towns or fellow players. This would allow us to setup a set time to trade, negotiate what is traded for what, and other important aspects of the trade.

Solution #2: Update to Markets 3.0. This would allow us to price what we’re selling not just as shards, but as resources as well.

Obviously the most likely solution will be to create the new Sub-Forum. However, we could also update to Markets 3.0, which will not be priority. We would use the Sub-Forum until the update is released.

Can't negotiations for trade be in dms between players on discord, loka pms?
Not everyone has Discord, and not to mention how messy the mail system works on Loka. Not to mention that the Market isn’t really a market. Plus, it’s been brought up multiple times that people want the market to have the ability to trade items for items, not just shards.

You mention the discord and mail system, but why would it not work with dms on Loka?

It wouldn’t work on DMs because the two traders might not know the other player. It could also be that they don’t usually get on at the same time but they could if need be.

This Sub-Forum makes sure that everybody can see what you need and what you are trading it for. Two players don’t have to be on at the same time to negotiate. They can negotiate and then decide on a time to meet. DMs restrict who can see your trade, when they see it, and a lot of other things.
