Like most of players i am frustrated with GHQ trading, since EA will not add search or sort options (in order to keep high "click" ratio probably) and all responses sound like what u see is only a window to a store and then u have to enter it, how about adding some additional information so u can at least judge the store before entering.
EA could you please add information on the players level and if there is any other item for sale so we could make educated guess before committing to visit specific player's city.
Thank you in advance
Everyone should understand that EA will never change the trading system. The reason is profit. If you do not find what you are looking for, you are more willing to spend SimCash for the items you need. You may think that a lot of people give up playing because they have to spend a lot of time with searching. It is not true. The trade system is very tricky: if you do not find what you need, you press refresh several times. After a while you are lucky, you find what you want. When it happens it strengthen you, that your strategy was good, so you continue. However if you do not find what you want, you have already spent a lot of time with searching, so getting the item you want becomes more important for you, because you’ve made so many efforts to get it. So you spend your SimCash and buy the item. Then you go back to GHQ for the next item, because you do not want to spend money. The GHQ, the Contest of Mayors, the Club Wars all exist for one simple reason: profit. EA is really, really good at it. However it is acceptable if you decide to play the game faster and more efficiently. It is your decision to spend money in the game.
