see thats gonna be a stupid thing aswell loads of people joining purely to make pp
i dont mind playing that spend alot halfing things because they still have to put the time and effort into farming and be a decent farmer but if u can buy ressies that means u can get instant 20 stable and just buy the ressies u need and have a nuke in 14-15 days from start up its far to much i think people gonna be selling ress for little pp world will be massive but hardly any1 playing in comparsion to the amount of players ive heard of alot of people already looking for people to sign up just to supply them with ress and people saying there just gonna start to make pp for world 73
Obviously it depends upon the rates people do. (For it to be worth it to buy resources on the market it's got to be more efficient that simply making a building cost 20% less. Also you'd need to factor in merchant travel time and such)
But I'm not really convinced that early on the rates are gonna be such that the pp trading is more efficient in terms of premium per boost than the other things which you are fine with. (The 10hq 20stable strategy or similar is just really good)
All it really seems to do to me is nearly remove the cap on what paying more can give you. (Not completely as the body of trade is finite)
Such that now efficiency calculations on infinite premium are fairly ridiculous as you would be only limited by merchant travel time and merchant count.
I really don't think people will have a nuke in 14-15 days from startup.
Also in a previous post you say that you are concerned that people will have players join just to send them res. You could already do this to some extent with 2:1 trading and I'm fairly sure that most people didn't do it (at least on normal hauls- some accounts did on various no/limited hauls worlds)
