Please bear in mind the spirit of fair trade rules was to prevent taking advantage of other players, your guild, or newbies who don't know any better. Goods trading has gone into the realm of the ridiculous for many of us and I regularly have had to offer ages above FE in 1:1 or 1:2 skipping down 6, 7, 8, 10 ages to sweeten the offer, or even take Iron and EMA directly in exchange for Oceanic, Virtual Future, Mars, etc. Because of this imbalance introduced in the last few years, I don't give the speech about fair trades often. There are so many opportunities to win large amounts of goods that did not exist before that the balance of the game has been turned on its head. Lower age goods below FE (Future Era) are worth more and more every day they are harder to get in large quantities while you're in those ages, and the high ages -especially the space ages- are swimming in goods thanks to the space colonies and other game-breaking additions like Battlegrounds. The old adage that advanced/higher goods are more valuable isn't that true in 2023.Įspecially in the space ages, goods are quite the joke now, so expecting to get 1:2 for any 1 age below is not likely. Lower ages are becoming increasingly more valuable than higher ages, because lower ages are rare and higher ages are not. Trading down one age 1:2 for goods above Colonial isn't a fair trade, never has been, and it only gets more true as time goes on.
