yeah... but it still doesn't explain that stuff about traders popping into a realm and what not. it's not the 1st time i've seen it in dwi.
I would bet that most/all of those treaties were written before the new trading system was implemented. Back then, you had to physically travel to the region to trade with it. Treaties like this will pretty much be ridiculous under the new system.
i think it's solaria or some such had some silly rule about having to talk to banker before trade... but if are not inside the border, how are you supposed to know that? if all you see is open deal, how are you supposed to know you are not meant to buy it?
If an order is available for you to trade on, then trade on it. If they didn't want you to fill it, they shouldn't have posted it, or posted it in a more restricted manner.
