Have any developers explained why we cannot offer unbalanced trades in favor of the recipient?
For example, if I want to trade a BA material for an EMA material, I can offer a very imbalanced 1:1 trade. This is essentially a 3:1 when factoring ages. But the inverse trade isn't possible, because the game doesn't factor Ages. For example, if I want to trade EMA material for BA, if I offer a 1:1 trade I would essentially be making a 1:3 trade factoring Age difference... that wouldn't make any sense, right? So given this imbalance, for every Age there should be an increase in allowable ratio by a factor of 1. This would allow for fair trading between different Ages, right? But it would also allow me to offer an unfair trade in the event that I'm desperate for materials. Maybe I want to make a 1:2 trade offer because I have an excess of one higher Age material. Why shouldn't I be allowed to make a bad deal? What's the reasoning behind this mechanic limitation?
