Active trading - Exp still pretty bad. the time limit aspect isnt fun, having a limited number of trade goods that you can buy is kind of annoying. having to log into other characters to verify if the rumors are true or not is also VERY unpleasant. being able to move goods and take a loss shouldnt be a thing.... With this sollution fix I would rather see a boost to exp earned for the time put in. 'bad trades' should just be very little profit, whereas good trades make decent/good money. Lower the newletter down an hour or two, and at least double the limit to how many trade goods you can buy. and the newletter 'trade info' rumor thing.. OMG just get rid of having to verify if true or not... I'd much rather read the news and see whats going up and down, this is soooo annoying, please please get rid of that. I guess also change the levels of how things are worded in text to verify its level and maybe adding in another level being called 'greatly'... so it would read something like this:

Change in price:     Down                      Up

                         Slightly Drop.        Slightly Rise!

                               Drop..                   Rise!!

                         Greatly Drop...      Greatly Rise!!!

                           Plummet....           Skyrocket!!!!

as far as how you can make it not lose money probably depends on trade levels... so a beginner0 buying something then selling if it plummets would give you money back basically, whereas the higher level traders could still make a little profit of that trade, but not 0, and never lose money.

I'm also not a huge fan of having to have the nodes connected... Its kind of old lame feeling... or if you compared this to bartering.. you dont need to connect nodes while bartering.... and thats just trading but in the ocean.... so I vote to not need connection while active trading... maybe even for trade crate turn ins too.. maybe we can just leave connection req for workers?

just scrap this crappy trade revamp and roll back to the old version, it was so much better than this.
