QM/Trader Pricing Thread

[Kotlol]

Making it so that buyable materials never go hot makes sense. some way to tell there's an impending shortage of a certain thing would be really nice though.

This would be antithetical to the whole idea of "buy low, sell high", though.

I think the problem us now the rng part of the whole thing. If values change randomly on certain intervals, you are gambling to get rich quick on the market. This is not how most things on the market work.

Instead, there are trends and cycles. If we make the course of the market change gradually over time, people can expect and pass these moments.

If anything, the QM should have some effect on the market... 
But as the system is now it's impossible to do so since it's all in infinite quantities (cept the traders)
It would require limit quanities and such to get QMs to do anything with that kinda trade, thus an overhaul of the system.

"if anything" QMs should be only able to sell via orders to get their main form of money and to do that... "They gotta haggle" vs competitors.
Kinda like the Requistion system, but now the QM has to set the deal 1st before making the trade.

But this is more suggesting.. as for the pricing problems... Well even at my worst I can make a mill in no time...
But I think the easiest way to stop 80% of all trades to a million is simple:
"Anything bought on the market has 0 value to reselling"
This would stop the buying and selling of sheets.
