Ideas about making Market more interesting, and Gold Ingots

[Judicat]

Idea 1. Distance fee for buyers. Let’s say you’re selling water at 0.01 but someone else is also selling at 0.01 and had listed their water after you. A distance fee will give your water a chance because it’ll be cheaper to buy from you if the buyers are closer to the territory you posted in.

Idea 2. A stock market type market for resources. All the waters being sold gets put in a pool and the price is averaged. A buyer buys water from the pool and you get a cut based on how much you’ve invested into the pool. This one is a bit more vague, but the spirit of the idea is to give everyone a chance to sell.

Gold Ingots: Maybe make precious metals a currency for lets say, upgrading town projects or some such. Thus actually making gold valuable again (bc of market competition, and gold vein-rich territories would have an edge, etc.)

I never took an economics class, but I just think these would make things a bit more interesting.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

This is more crap from an active trader that would allow market manipulation. Everything is just fine with trading the way it is. Compared with other games, the “cartels” will have more difficulty controlling the market in NW - which is just the way it should be.
