Why isn't steel tracked in supply and demand graphs?

Seems strange that raw materials are not shown in the supply and demand.

The demand is only driven by NPC. Since you cannot sell raw materials to the NPC, there is no demand for that.

So the supply/demand graph is NPC based only? how come there is not a player driven one>?

There should be only supply stat of human to human trade. It would be a sum of all trades that took place during last day.
But demand is not possible to count......

and what for?
the supply-demand stats and the quality-price stats have something to do with the time you need to sell your products in the shops

but you stats? whatfor?
In my eyes it would be much more interesting to see the demand on npc products per day as a graph over the last 30 days. or something like this.
especially steel
but it would be an useless tool - so forget it

there used to be someone writing an analysis in the paper about the trades going through the market if i remember correctly.

possibly it was when i dropped by the german version...

atleast i believe i've seen someone doing snapshots of the market and analysing the numbers on a regular basis.

can someone confirm/deny this? i would really like to see something like that coming in to a new paper/to the forum

if you want to know demand/supply per day, its must be done programming it how much people produce them per day and how much use of it or something similar. its impossible to calculate something looking only at market, because most transactions are made by contracts, witch aren't visible to all of us.

Admins can view contracts though and im sure could implement something.
