Posting guild only fair trades for our guild members while keeping up with demand is the ultimate goal. The buyer is gaining a benefit for expedient growth while we gain the benefit of extra goods to sell back to our guild members at fair trade prices.

You may say “well, that sounds like you are taking advantage of them” we say “no more than Walmart is taking advantage of someone who wants to buy a tv”, “or a convenience store charges to it’s customers for the convenience”. Our traders can double, triple, and quadruple the goods stockpiles by trading uneven in those markets to desperate players. If guild members are aware of the uneven trading they can avoid buying these trades, because they know the reason traders do this is to bring extra goods from our neighbors and friends into the guild. This may sound funny to a lot of people, but let me explain a little why this can be very beneficial to a guild. At North Star we like to look at it like this as a general rule: Trades posted for everyone (neighborhood/friends) should be posted as an uneven trade for profit Some players will leave a guild that post uneven trades to go to a guild that only does even trades or fair trades.

Many guilds post a rule to this effect right in their charter on their guild info page. I know that a lot of players hear others talking about how they feel trading standards should be and it seems that a majority of players like stick to fair trades only. The trade market is set up for transfer of production (not fair trades).

They sum it up in the first sentence by stating: Are there trading rules regarding goods in Forge of Empires FoE? Turns out that this is a huge debate amongst FoE players.įorge of Empires settles this question on their Trade Market forum thread.
