Trade Depot

Since new season there’s mostly just mountain, beach, and restoration building stuff for sale in trade depot.  No point in accumulating simoleons when there’s nothing to buy I can use.  Did they change the algorythm so there’s only boogus stuff for sale? Very frustrating to shop now, so avoid going in there looking for anything.

    I agree with what you said about how EA wants us to use our own goods instead of others, but with these and certain game changes, it makes it harder for players to stock and especially if your factories are full. Also to add some more input if EA reads this you could gain more people by doing this, increasing your player amount and profit revenuer. By getting rid of this issue and listening to us, it could help you overall. Also adding stuff fans want or have it to where we can vote can help you gaje what the community wants.Another thing from a previous post said was "hey if you read this, please fix the global depo as you haven't for the past 3 to 4 years with the loads of mountain and beach items. You have neglected everyone who points this out. My suggestion if you're listening, EA team, is to rework it so you can exchange it for simoleons or other currency. another good idea that could bring some life back into the game is to give us more land for the main city. What i mean by this is rework it so we players can combine 2x or 3x of beach parts/mountain parts/or land parts to get one uncommon part which can be used to further expand past the preexisting borders of which we can build our city. Also, it would start at needing 2x of each uncomment part after expanding to the full size of what the normal boundary lets us. this is my opinion, though you could also have a special building for this which takes a different amount of time for getting the simoleons if you go with that option or if you go with making the uncommon parts." As this may be a viable solution to add.

    Don’t you now find yourself watching more ads to get items that were once readily available in Global Trade?  

  • Agreed, quit showing expansion items after all expansion with those items has been done.

    I’ve noticed today that there are less mountain and beach items in global and more of steel, wood and even airport items

    I would be happy with a separate trade depot for expansion materials.

  • I completely agree, so many beach and mountain items. Give us something to use them on, or stop rewarding them so freely. Destroys gameplay by making waste so much time searching.

    When I need something I usually go to a city that is selling steel or wood and find other items I need from them. It’s a lucky dip now if you’re prepared to look and take a chance

    I had suggested awhile back that they add a search box so you can look for what you need. There are times when you don't have time to produce what you need.

  • My view on this is, since the new material storage depot has benn added it is easier to produce items needed as you have the space/capacity to store factory items. This along with the new factory speed ups... Things should be easier. I think EA is shifting the focus to the players producing what they need. I am.
