Global Trade HQ changes

EA developers - you guys are amazing! (I have not always been this supportive - didn't like the 2013 regular SimCity.) I can't imagine how difficult it must be to get this game working across all devices, mobile operating systems, Internet provider networks, home WiFi, and Cellular - WORLD WIDE! I know you guys must be looking for ways to improve the Global Trade market. Suggestions - adjust the selling values of items based on time for production, complexity of components required, and rarity. (Obviously you can't just have free trade pricing - would keep new users priced out of the market.) Also, can't find a way to add "friends" outside of my circle. (Not many of my contacts play games.) Liking the currently release update...great seeing a blimp roaming the skies! If I could find some folks, I could sell directly to them instead of going through the Global Trade...that would alleviate pressure on the demand for purchases done there and the delays when trying to purchase items. Thanks again for making such a fun game.
