Group market offers

Post by Guest » 06.07.2007, 19:43

I know that it was already proposed , but I like the idea , and there were not many replys , so I try again :

Wouldn't it be great to group same market offers ?
I'll give an exapmle so that you can understand

1 000 000 X power @ 0,14 , company = X
125 000 X power @ 0,14 , company = Y
etc...
150 000 X power @ 0,15 , company = Z
50 000 X power @ 0, 15 company = Q
etc...
1 000 000 x power 0,27 , company = LLC/NPC


Would become

1 125 000 X power @ 0,14 Players
200 000 X power @ 0,15 Players
1 000 000 X power @ 0,27 LLC

Now some1 buys 10 000 power from the group with price 0,15 , Who gets the money ?
Simple = 150 000 is 75% of 200 000
50 000 is 25% of 200 000
==> Player Z recieves (75% * 10 000)*0,15 = 1 125
==> Player Q recieves (25% * 10 000)*0,15 = 3 75

Only probem is that Your goods will stick a bit longer on the market .

Thoughts ???

OR
You could include a filter that groups them for you , and buys an equal amount from evry1

Ex
1 000 000 X power @ 0,14 , company = X
1 000 000 X power @ 0,14 , company = Y
1 000 000 X power @ 0,14 , company = Z
1 000 000 X power @ 0,14 , company = Q

=>Would become after filter
4 000 000 X power @ 0,14

You buy 1 mil power , so player X,Y,Z and Q have sold 250 000 power

Thoughts ???

Hmm...

Pros
Cleaning up the market.
Making market spamming harder.

Cons
Buying from companies of your choice would be impossible. (I like to look at companies first before I buy from them.)
You might have 100 buy messages instead of one. Who knows when it would be all sold if people kept dumping, say 10Mil, power on the market?


I like the current market. No need to change it. ;)

Good suggestion. I think it would probably be better if the groups had a queue. First company that put up the product gets the $$.

Otherwise, sales would take forever, and you would have hundreds of messages a day.

best market system i have ever seen was in another game, they sort the buy and sell orders by value and time, when you buy you always buy at the lowest price that where put first, when you sell you always fill the highest that where put first, you can choose to sell or buy from the existing orders or make a new one.
it was a great system and a great game, only problem was everyone was playing against cheating devs, space games ftw :)

And If you group them, and had a sort of invisble que ??
4 000 000 mil power @ 0,10

1 mil from comany A at 16:00
1 mil from company B at 17:00
etc...

Who buys would first buy it from A and the from B .
EX : I buy 1 250 000 now ,
A is sold out
B got 750 000 power over , who now are on the first place


Thoughts ???

Hehe Drummore, I had a feeling I knew what you meant when you said "best market system I have ever seen." Then it just gets more and more obvious as you went on. Quite funny from where I sit. :lol:

Agreed. I prefer to buy goods from smaller trader then a bigger one, in the same price-rate.

Sorry, there will be no change on that...

And I personally think that the present system is better as now you can decide on your own where to buy... and for me that's important: first of all I could avoid buying from players whom I blacklisted... and second thing: I can buy from small companies in order to support them.

And that*s also my reason for not "voting" for the system you mention to be the best one: if a big company e.g. puts 5,000,000 stones onto the market, it will last decades until the next 10,000 units offer by a small company will be bought from the market, which means this causes a huge disadvantage for smaller companies as they need the money faster than a big one....
