Put An End to Inside Trading in Hay Day!

[Anonymouscapra]

I strongly feel that under the table trading should be banned in this game. The game went from challenging to downright not fun and pretty much impossible. Even with the newspaper refreshing more frequently, people are setting up trades with each other and not advertising so things like building materials are almost nonexistent anymore unless your friends are selling them. My boat sailed away yesterday with nothing on it because I needed 18 bottles of carrot juice which is a rare item to find anyway. No one was selling from my friends list and I sat and refreshed the paper for several hours hoping to find that gem paper with all the good stuff. In the span of several hours I didn't see one carrot juice. The paper has become useless now. I am one of those players that wants to play the game as intended. If it continues and more people start doing it there will be no point in selling to advertising anything and social aspect of this game will be all but gone.


i'd really like to hear how people from Supercell feel about this.

why do you buy products to sell them to the boat? it is not economic.

try to prodcuce 3-5 of every product and hold this amount in your barn - then your chance will rise to fill a boat order

but i see also that the bulding material offers appear now less

No wonder all my new neighbors aren't selling things anymore! Inside trading does seem to take away some aspects of the game.

While I agree that some items are very hard to buy, I don't agree with removing under the table trading as you call it, because this is often the only way to get some things.

Regarding the boat, the cargo selector is either flawed or simply geared towards trying to make people buy more gems to speed up production. Too frequently it is simply impossible to manufacture everything on the cargo list in the time available.

I have mentioned this several times with no response unless no one read them. I could easily get 50 carrot juice in that amount of time before trades. If I just started the game there is no way I would keep playing. Maybe your thread will get noticed by sc, mine just got shuffled to the next page. There is however another share gc thread to really destroy the game.

I do not agee with the fact that the game is not intended for trading agreements on a forum. Because of the fact that the game allows to have GC and fb friends. Than you also have to argue that GC friends and facebook friends and connections should not be possible. Because someone with hundreds of friends has an unfair advantage over people with no friends at all. And you do use that option.

Second the social aspect of the game is even better with forum discussions, trades and so on instead of every man for themselves.

If you can't beat them, join them.

Inside trading, as you call it, was developed as a workaround until they fix the newspaper.

I certainly hope you are not suggesting that trading with friends will be stopped when the newspaper is improved??? That would be a rediculous move. It happens all the time on real farms and is as important as trading with others.

The newspaper refreshes much more frequently now than before. This "work around" as you call it is still there now that the newspaper has been fixed. Because of the trading, the newspaper appears to be all eggs again because no one is advertising anything else.

Not quite sure if you realize this or not but, it is not a real farm. If the intention was to have trading it would be an open market. I really have no need to trade just trying to see from everyone's perspective. Also seems like a bunch of beggars trying to get around playing the game as intended.
