Global Trade HQ June 2025

EA! FIX THE CODING FOR THE ITEMS SHOWN IN THE GLOBAL TRADE HQ ALREADY!

Precedence is still being given to wrought iron, mountain items, game consoles, fries, and maybe some burgers, maybe some steel, maybe some wood.

  • Yeah global trade has always been annoying but it just got worse with this update. 

    it seems like they nuked those WhatsApp cities. Those were a huge help actually. Invite them to your club and you can access them all the time. 

    they need to have something like that again. 

    also make the contests have people produce the items that are hard to find. That would have people selling them and fix the endless searching for the same stuff problem

    Basically they have broke Global Trade because whereas previously the mayor tasks to make multiples of items was without any charge within the updated contest it now is and players don’t want to spend their golden tickets things. So we are no greeted with rows and rows of mountain items, wrought iron and burgers. Nothing else is for sale except the easy stuff to make. 

    Also the global trade interface is awful. Too big when buying and when trying the sell the icons and display are that small it’s hard on the eyes. No balance. Poorly tested. 

  • The only things that people are selling at the moment are the useless junk. Mountain items (increase in shipments fire Chicago Missions will have increased supply) and p&c items that are no use to anyone. 

    Supply and demand is out of balance with the new storage increase for everyone. It'll take a while to settle down. Until then, best just ignore GTHQ.

  • It was like that last season as well. It really seems like they are trying to run the players out of the game. I almost made it to level 99. Doesn’t seem like I’ll be making it, makes me feel like crap that I’ve wasted so much time on a greedy game.

    Yeah, this is awful-- this is not just a typical "gthq sucks" complaint.. Global Trade HQ has always kind of been a pain but 98% of every advertised item I've seen (since the update) has been mountain & wrought iron, with a couple fries or game consoles sprinkled in. Any rare occasion I find something that's NOT one those handful of market-flooding items is already sold by the time I click on it. I thought, maybe my game is just lagging? Finally I more or less gave up, "well this is a cruel, infuriating joke".. but alas, any items I sell are gone with the snap of a finger, so I can tell it's not just me. This GTHQ is a whole new level of **bleep** that makes the game almost unplayable unless you treat it like a 2nd full time job.
