Sneaky algorithm

It seems to me that certain items only appear in GO HQ when either I don't need them, or I haven't got enough room in my storage to buy them. I have thought this for a while but thought I was probabl...

You want evidence that they are gating progress, just ask for a search feature. This would solve all the issues with GTHQ and I'm willing to bet that's never gonna happen. There is no reason to buy a refrigerator when I need a suit. Why the hell should I have to look at * I don't need? Well because if I always get the things I need, then I don't need to spend real money to speed things up. Theme Park by EA is notorious for being expensive. I wouldn't put it past them to continue their shenanigans here. Honestly, if you don't suspect at least a little meddling, you must be asleep at the wheel.

There's no point in rehashing old arguments, so I won't bother. Besides, EA only pays me to post shill opinions once per thread.

    No need to. I read your posts and they don't address what I said. In such situations, you would have to present NEW arguments...

      "Why is there no search filter in the Global Trade HQ?
      Global Trade HQ works in a way that every item sold is created by another player. Certain items have a higher demand than others, and generally the high demand items will sell a lot quicker than the low demand ones.
      If we added a feature that would enable players to search for a specific item type, it would make the high demand items sell incredibly fast. This would then result in the high demanding items completely disappearing from the market, and almost no one would find the type of items that they need.
      We strive to make the Global Trade HQ a balanced and fair place, regardless of your connection, device, or location. Adding a search of filter functionality would make it highly unfair for those who are not able to quickly grab each new item that is put up for sale."


      As a friend of mine once said, "There's a difference between having an answer, and liking the answer."
