Hello there. I saw in discord the new changes about the buff that from 5 days will last 3 days and I wanted to say few words about that and also I ask the reason behind this decision if I may.
I'm playing more than 2 years in x3 and I can not denied is the best server I ever play over the 16 years I play this game. Very serious and careful desicions about admins, no dramas, no bans without reason, always there to support and protect you. No compains about that. Really. But in one matter I think they have been bad desicions (always in my point of view) and I speak for trading.
When I start to play the server the economy and the shops was massive. Literally you can find anything. Any thing you can imagine you can go and find it. From books, to SA cry, to any set, keys. I never had such experience on other server. But when the first change come and the entrance of the buff the offline traders from 3200+ go down in few months to 2400 +-. This was a huge downside about the goods of the market. Also from 7 days the traders online the went to 5.. After the release of x1 and x5 server the traders go down even more to 1700. This because people leave the x3 and join the x1 and now the x5. Playing now in x3 I feel so alone because the market and the server is not healthy as it was when I join. I searched for days some OL spellbooks but no hope. If I search them before 1 year, this will be no problem but who will sell spellbooks in the market? Few traders . The MDT is a bit empty compare it the old times. So I log in my dagger (im lucky that I had some dagger somewhere) and went in DO to find people farm them and give me the spellbooks. I waiting 1 hour!! until the drop them and give them to me and I was lucky that these people was kind to help me on that. In old days I will had the option to buy them without worries.
And now after the 5 days of trading the offline traders will go max 3 days and I ask what is the reason of that? This will go down even more the traders and the goods of the server. I have 4 crafters in giran and in many things im the only person who craft some b grade gear. Really im the only one. I remove my crafters for few weeks and see shouts "WTB CRAFT THIS, WTB CRAFT THAT PM". One person told me it was mistake from me to remove the crafters from the market. Because without crafters no market can move on. Is how the game works. Also crafters have 7 days but if the craft "for free 1 adena" goods. No reason to log my crafters for free. I do not farm them with so much effort and log them for nothing. So the crafters who want to have some fair trade no have some protection on that. after 3 days they will go down. I can not imagine what chaos will become but is certain the traders and crafters will become much more less and I do not understand why this decision was made especially on x3 which now lags of ppl and traders.
Pls think once again if this decision is good and if really helps the server to be better. But if you believe that in my words I have some right, pls think it again and not make this change. But Im a player and you are the admins. The final decision is yours. I really care about the health of the server believe it or not and for me is very sad that at this moment the server is not health as it was before 1-2 years. And this change will not help the server and the players inside.
