To me it seems like the Trade HQ is developed by a group of people different from who developed the rest of the game, because the design of the game is very beautiful but the HQ just sucks. To me it seems like that HQ developers have lost the control of their software and don't know what the heck are they doing.
When I first realized that I have to travel to a city in order to buy a product from it I was telling my self why in earth some people would spend such time to add a worthless and annoying feature to the game?! but what's bothering me right now is that why can't EA stuff control such issues even though the solution is very simple.
All you need to do is:
1) Read some of the comments in this topic to see what's going on.
2) Tell us about your plan and if there is a technical limitation for you.
3) Remove the stupid traveling feature.
4) Automatically refresh the travel HQ at random times for each user to reduce the risk of 2 people trying to buy the same product at the same time.
5) Respond frequently to the feedback in this topic until the users are happy.
Thanks.
