as old as time itself

You called?

clearly the c/s measure is the choice.

Yes. SJS knows his stuff.
There's no training manual for FoE... yet.
So until then, I come to the forums to learn.

On a related topic (was debating, but decided to keep the same thread, since it's also about trading):

People keep saying that trading should happen through your guild, but I've been paying attention and found that most of my trades get accepted by neighbors, even though I usually only accept guild trades. I generally didn't notice before since, as far as I'm concerned, I only care whether or not it was accepted. Also, smaller trades seem to work better, even though it's 1 FP per trade, which favors larger trades.

How realistic is it that most trades should happen through your guild? -- because my neighbors are taking my trades, not my guild.

Edit: post got cut off

A big majority of my trades, probably 80%, get accepted by guildies. But I don't post a huge number of trades, just when I actually need something.

What's the age spread of your guild? I'm speculating, but I wonder if a larger spread of ages in a guild lowers trading rates because a lot of offers aren't relevant to a lot of other members of the guild.

Looks like LMA to AF these days.

But also our guild is awesome, so YMMV

Out of the 18 trades in my current history of those who took my trades; 15 Guild, 2 Neighbors, 1 Friend, which seems typical to me pre and post changes.
