South Koreans having faster internet access is no excuse for poor functionality design. My issues with the Trading:
- Unnecessary load times. Why do I have to first travel to another user's city just to buy said item? 8 times out of 10 when I arrive at another user's city, the items I was interested in are already sold. 1 time out of 10, the item will still be available, but when I go to make the purchase it's already sold. That means that 10% of the time, I'm able to successfully use the Global Trade HQ. Better Solution: Cut out the travel to other cities, let us purchase them direclty from Global Trade HQ
- I can't find what I want. It's possible (likely) that supply & demand is playing into this, but I think there's still significant room for improvement. Better Solution: Allow Players to specify what item(s) they're searching for and show relevant listings.
- If my items don't sell during the 5 minute advertising period, They sit in purgetory until either someone visits my city directly, or I list another item that lures people to my city. In the event I can't sell said item, I lose it. Better Solution: Refine system to facilitate quicker turnaround on items listed for trading. Allow Players to recover items that aren't sold to re-use, or at the very least, recoup lost resources.
All very good ideas.
Just one note, the items that don't sell will be purchased by Daniel after 2 days, so not a total loss.
