what is the point of this thread? there always were people trying to keep prices high
ramones and satori pmd people with that shit all the time, because they wanted to sell midq herb tables for 600pts, but I dont see any threads about that
There is no reason to blame the guy, who pmd her, was her choice to listen to him

Ame is actually killing the market, but not with prices, with selling seeds, eggs, etc. I believe only final products should be sold cheap. I know you guys dont like what I'm saying, but I'm one of those, who wasted 1,5 years to raise my hemp by my own hands and I feel a bit butthurted, when you can get almost the same q for 10pts.
I'm not comlaining about prices though, market is a market, and if she can afford such low prices, she wins. I cant afford same prices, the effort trade brings worth more for me, thats why I closed my shop. But again, I'm not complaining, thats how market works.

I do understand you GrapefruitV, but I still think there should be a free market.
Besides I'm also butthurt, I don't get to buy all the awesome stuff from Ame.

nah, this is an example of regulation :p

Like GrapefruitV says, Ramones was doing the same thing to Tina earlier, but we never paid much attention to him, just tried to ensure our safety with neutral "diplomacy".

I wonder if ame is just being wimpy and caving when (s)he doesn't really need to...

What would the threat to ame be? she will get raided if she doesn't cease to trade?

If this is truly aimed at Libertarians and not just a joke; This would be where the community side of a Libertarian system would come into check. They would investigate the matter, and boycott the aggressing company. Refusing to sell them raw goods, provide labor, or income. Essentially; Don't be gauche about how you handle your business. Threatening competitors is always bad. However! Buying them out, subsidizing, underselling, or making business such a hassle to deal with that it becomes unfavorable are all valid tactics.

If Ame wants to stay in business, it'd require something of a protection racket; "You defend my goods, I give you cheap prices and maybe some freebies. You help me expand, you reap further rewards."

Community Capitalism yo.

"give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you lose a great business opportunity." - Karl Marx. Selling close to the top q crops to every noob is about the worst thing you can do, thats the only problem i had with ame...his prices were a bit low but fair play to him for being able to sell stuff so low.

Why idk many noobs with lvl 200+ farming? and if they buy them and softcap the hell out of them won't they be back to the cheapest supplier as soon as they feel the need? I want know who it was so as not to ever trade with them in this world and the next.
I fully look forward to jorb and loftar fixing several mechanics and bringing back updates, because at that time you chuckleheads are going to be more marginalized than lawn furniture in winter.

I'm a hermit with just over 200 farming and I've been able to buy some seeds from a trader who hasn't got it listed in his trade threads (wont say which trader since a lot of people seem to hate them...)
What I'm saying is that I would never have been doing the farming I'm doing, if I wouldn't have been able to grow some higher quality crops. The farming part in the game would have felt a 100% useless without these higher quality crops, now it just feels a little bit useless :D

I seriously doubt that this is about selling seeds. Many traders in the past have sold close to top q seeds. It's about ame undercutting everyone else's prices and everyone else losing business
