Your Thoughts on Food and the Marketplace

[Azerax]

Unfortunately I could not find any free adaptive polling sites (polls that ask you different questions based on your answers).  I found one, but it limited the total number of questions to 10.

There will be another poll based off this poll.  Why?  The feedback from this poll will allow us to focus our attention on specific areas.  Until we know what those areas are, we need to be a bit more general, and the first task is to identify if these issues are island specific, or wide spread.  Chances are there will be a third survey based off the second.

If you play on multiple islands, please respond based on the worst food situation as the intention for this is to investigate.

If you disagree with this method, feel free to create your own poll.

I don't get it... Except for seasons, the system is the same everywhere, right?

The system is the same. The regions are not.

[vonGenf]

The system is the same. The regions are not.

But the questions are about the system, not the regions. I'm not sure how the same system can be acceptable on an island and not on another.

[Azerax]

Even if everything was the same everywhere, there is an undeniable sense of extreme frustration for some players, and this can't be ignored.  The frustration is the effect,  now I'm trying to dig down into the cause.

As one of the people that loves Food, I believe the auto-sell and auto-buy is an improvement much needed in the system, and will alleviate many problems and headaches. But that feature request is already known by everyone and has been raised multiple times and, for as far as I know, will be implemented in the future. Till then, I'm not sure if we should really be worrying about doing other stuff. Once that system is in, I'd be very interested in seeing how the situation is then. We can always make adjustments after that point, but lets first get the automatic buy/sell system in, once we can, and see where we stand before tweaking further.

I'm not much frustrated with the food system. It's probably all the Margraves/Dukes who are.

I would say that is true.

Atamara City Lord/Duke here. I'm perfectly happy with the food system.

I know it could use improvements but I also don't think it is the most pressing issue. There are plenty of other things which I personally would like to see changed first.

Just my opinion,

[Eirikr]

I won't be voting as I don't have enough involvement in the system right now, but shouldn't the vote be able to accommodate multiple characters on multiple islands that may have experience?

That is, shouldn't I be able to tell you if I think the system is working fine on Atamara, but not Beluaterra? (Especially now that the two continents are not even the same shape.)

[^ban^]

Uh, I have a banker on two continents and believe the system sucks on both, how do I answer this...

[Foundation]

Haha, overachiever.

I am of the same opinion and am in the same position.  My city was a day from starving so I put up 4x100 buy offers at 50 and they sold in a few hours.

[Indirik]

400 food won't feed my city for 6 days. And the offers sit for weeks, and expire unfilled. I literally see dozens of buy offers for prices from 40-50/100, every time I look.

To be honest, I just noticed now that I could have done multiple votes per person.  You can reply with your 2 votes and I'll manually add them to the results when the poll is finished.
