@tesla333 in our fellowship I will get your regular trades as I have plenty of both having kept 1 of each for sentient goods, and piling kp onto the pyramid, timewarp and simia sapiens for the last 8 months and holding 200k+ of all 9 sentient goods in general through regular trading all that time.
@m4rt1n I have no doubt. Our FS and you in particular remain a shining light in an increasingly darkening Elvenar world
You and many others (which I am reluctant to name because I don't know if they would want that) in our FS are the reason why I haven't followed
@Flame Knight and gave up. Your spirit and your positivity is remarkable.
To everybody else in this thread I have to apologise. I was in an exceptionally bad mood yesterday.
Back on topic: I do believe that the trades will take a short term hit because of the new chapter. What I failed to make clear yesterday is that THIS is perfectly acceptable. End-chapter players are not responsible to maintain a trade balance (except in cases were end-chapter players refuse to make T1 and T2 goods and rely on other players to take their trades - but this is another issue and has been discussed before). I think that for the past month most end-chapter players took care of lower level players so its actually fair to give back a bit instead.
I am still miffed about the impact on the tournament. Looking at my notes I can see that I have lost almost twice as many units in round 2 of chapter 10-18 compared to the last crystal tournament (I'm in orcs). Which means I wont be able to sustain 2k+ tournament points anymore. What additionally upsets me is that I have no tools (= troops) in orcs to counter the newly introduced units. THIS was not well planned.
