Yes I don't mind the idea of decreasing to 11 hours now that there is 'some' play requirement inbetween gatherings. Also I don't mind balancing the trade orders. But it is quite difficult as you need to look beyond the 'mat balance' given that I expected the order itself to have some value. For example I imagine that Heffernan is willing to still turn in the 12 iron bars for 2 Tokens simply because I imagine at this point he has 1 billion iron bars and would prefer tokens over them. So what might be trash for one player or of lesser value might still have a market value for another. If a TO loses all market value because literally nobody will turn it in I'll turn on logging data for them. If the entire server boycotts a trade order for some number of weeks then I would argue it certainly needs adjustment.
How about making it automated?
Let's say if 0 orders of a kind were turned in within 3-4 weeks, it's value increases for 1-2 points and the cycle continues untill people find the price fair and start turning in their stuff.
There is no way in hell salem playerbase can unite to abuse that. That was proven by the Ark and on other occasions.
