Global Trade HQ changes
Greetings Mayors,
With over 8 million transactions made in the SimCity BuildIt Global Trade HQ every day, it is a very busy trade hub for Mayors based all over the globe!

I was gradually coming to terms with the epic failure that is the global hq. The updates made today have further butchered it, beyond belief. For the first time now, the game crashes. It is literally impossible to purchase anything, and the lag I experience waiting for a sellers trade screen to load is out of hand.
Like many others, I've invested a lot of time into this. The fact that buildings need a lump of stinky cheese or a slice of silverside to upgrade is an absolute farce... Rather than wait a decade for these goods to be produced on site I revert to the global hq to purchase these ridiculous items.
I've got a shedload of other gripes with this game - a game which could otherwise be fantastic. Get a couple of guys on board to read and digest what is being said here in these forums, because the words Electronic Arts are becoming synonymous with failure. Good day.

I didn't think it was possible, but the the global trade hq has gotten shockingly worse. The absolute frustration of finding an item you want to purchase only to have to visit the purchasing city (with no kind of "reserve" on the item you pressed), only to find it gone or the unfunny new message about an accounting error when you go to purchase it 99.9% of the time is an embarrassment to EA and the developers behind it. Stop using "optimistic" algorithms and fix this problem the right way. Get some people who actually understand how to deal with high volume reserve/confirm transactions like is done with event ticketing and you might have a chance.
- And, there is a bug that is easy to reproduce. If I leave the game while visiting another city, when I come back and click on the Global Trade HQ, the game crashes. Ugh!
