Trade Distance
« Topic Start: August 31, 2012, 07:32:43 PM »
Trade on FEI doesn't seem to be working properly; rather than allowing me to link up buy and sell offers around the marketplace, it always pulls it out of my granary.

Can you describe the process you go through that gets this result?

Note:
- You must be a trader.
- Does this relate to distance?
- Do you not see the boxes to select offers to broker or does it not broker correctly after you choose the offers?
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

As a Trader, you should be able to see checkboxes next to offers that are not your own. You can use those checkboxes to trade as a Trader, not the trade buttons.

Also on FEI, I can see offers that are 400 miles away, but I can't buy them.

Please explain. What happens if you try?

I'm in Hatdhes buying food from Todpitz. Distance is 325 miles. I get this message

Outside your trade distance, this deal should not have been shown as available.

Can you describe the process you go through that gets this result?

I opened up the marketplace.

I checked 300 bushels of sales of food and 300 bushels of purchases, which all evened out to a nice profit.

I clicked "trade."

It sold it from my warehouse, and the sale offers remained on the marketplace.

Note:
- You must be a trader.
- Does this relate to distance?
- Do you not see the boxes to select offers to broker or does it not broker correctly after you choose the offers?

1. I am
2. Well, it relates in that you've updated the trading system, and this didn't seem to be happening to me before
3. I see the boxes and can check them, but the brokerage doesn't go through

Two more questions (and apologies if they're stupid questions ;D ):

1) Is the "trade" button that you clicked the same one that a non-trader would have, or a separate one?
2) Have you successfully brokered before, and if so, how recently?

Foundation, I just confirmed that 6932 is not resolved. I still can't trade from Abaka to Alebad, although I can see the offers.
