Re: FAQ about the Global Trade HQ

I got a suggestions, for the no search filters, maybe you should make the filters, but no need to be specific, just the big scale of those items like "raw/factory items (eg. Steel, wood) - production items (eg. Vegetables, donuts) - special items (expansion items) - dr.Vu items (since this the place where most players dump resources)" so that some players who need those items can buy quicker cause like right now i need a lot of Vu items but on the market i mostly saw a lot of steels and woods (when i sawb high level players say that they saw a lot vu items, whih is not fair). I know why because its the quickest item possible to sell so a lot dozen of people will make that for sell like i did with nails. Or maybe a bigger scale like the moderator said " low demands - medium demands - high demands items ". Or because we knew that expansions actually the highest demand items nowadays you could make the waiting time longer for a specific tabs or limit on how much a player could buy expansions for each day, but freely and quickly for the low demands items like woods and steel. Because sometimes the game still asks 50 steel and 50 wood for an upgrade, right?

Second suggestion is on the price, i know a lot of people have asks about this but to make it more fair with my first suggestion, you should make the expansions item limit price higher, like a lot higher. Because a stack of nails can buy one expansions, no wonder why thats a high demand item yeah? So let say that the price is 5000 for each expansions maybe there will be less player who buy expansions, since its expensive, especially for newcomers. Because you can actually exploits expansions item if you have a friend whom at level 10 since a lot of expansions item will show around that player level hahaha. Thats why i suggest higher price, because for us who at the middle stage (level 30+) it is very hard to find such items since it was exploited by newbies. Thats mean you have to work for things hahaha. For example, i do actually farming around level 14, right before higher level items tend to show. It is easier there, but i do need a lot of money, and higher priced production comes within level 20-40, so i leveled up to level 20 (my current level) whoa. Its so different from level 15. So may this two suggestion could make a better future for higher level players, eheheheh ! (If you decided to make this changes, lol.)

Oh and btw should i post at the wrong section if you have to move it, it'll really help. Cheers!

Edit : two more suggestion, first could you make more traffic on the highway? (Cosmetic purposes only) and second please make the GTHQ window biggeeeeeeeeer (a whole screen, maybe?) Because 10 items for each refresh is not enough. For me at least......

    I don't have a problem with prices as they are.

    I would much rather have the ability to purchase specialty factories or stores. 
    A single store or multiple purchasable stores that can produce expansion items, storage items, VU items, Beach items. 

    it's nice to be gifted with these charms. It's annoying and frustrating to search for them on the market only to find it, travel to the city and see it be sold.
    Worse off, traveling to the city, seeing it available only to get a llamas accounting fail message. 

    That's so frustrating that I'm becoming disenchanted to play. While I've paid for simcash, I'm at my $50 limit for any game.
    There will have to be some pretty worthwhile upgrades to intrigue me to invest more.
    When a game becomes more frustrating than enjoyable I have to re-think if it's even worth it.

    Ahh, i got the feelings you reply to my post heheh. But i agree though, and that factories could be bought using simcash and for higher level players, while the item have a lot requirements and a long time to produce. Then the player who have more time creating resources can create the expansions for those who needs and sell it through the GTHQ so that higher level player could benefit, meanwhile the lower players help them too. So its a win-win for gamedevs and the players, and i bet it would really solve this ridiculous GTHQ errors at the same time right? Uaing this method, the devs could achieve :

    1. Money because of the simcash factories
    2. Maybe a big level spender people will be back to the game
    3. Those who have the factories helps newbies
    4. GTHQ is more busy oh yeah!
    5. More spirits to the low level so that they want to reach higher levels so could help making expansions
    6. Llamas will not get bookeeping error because there will be alot more items from now on haha!

    Just my opinion though. No hard feelings.

    The Trade HQ is the worst designed most frustrating piece of $@&! feature I've seen in a game in a long time. 90% of the time I see an item I'm looking for, I click on it, get stuck in a stupid load bar going to someone else's town, and by the time it's finished the items either sold or I get a Inventory stocking error message. It's almost unusable. 

    There has got to be some way for you guys to make this less frustrating. I don't know how? I'm not a programmer or anything, but as it stands now this feature is so annoying.
