but everyone has the same right to post, not to post, to accept, or not to accept them. that's fair.
a market that isn't free to trade how it wants seems more unhealthy to me. the game makers did a bad job of judging what the tiers are worth in relation to each other, that's true. everyone is free to place their own value on what each tier is worth to them. that's healthy, free trade without restrictions. you can accept trades or pass on them. i think if you want more same tier offers, you might be in the wrong fellowship. but at least cross tier trades give people some options, which are better than none.
yes. i think most people don't like looking at them. they don't make them, they don't accept them, and they don't want others using them to put themselves in a better position because they don't use them. so they wanna kill the way many people have been trading for years because of it, like party poopers and freedom haters.
