As you know fleeters need deut all the time and they need deut not too expensive.

We observed the situation in a french universe and propose a solution :

ban a player to sell to the trader more deut than he produces

(I hope it's written in good english ^)

Explanations (written by Bilbo, fleeter from uni66.fr) - text translated by xaphania

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deuterium is one of the three ressources of Ogame, that every player produces, quantities depending on mine levels.

This ressource, is part of a very simple cycle : Production -> Use, via the selling for big producers which don't use it a lot.

This provide a balance between producers and customers, both of them can live together, and satisfy each other, according to a trade rate.

Since the apperance of the merchant , producer can, by paying a little amount of dark matter (i.e. money for the most part of it), to put his deuterium off the classic market, withdrawing a considerable amount of ressource that should have been available for the customers.

As the fleeters became rare along time, producers that are using their own production do not disturb the market, they avoid an excess offer that would implies a drop of trade rates.

The Game rythm getting lower with universe getting adged, a small raise of those rates are accepted.

However, players who buy deuterium with the purpose to sell it back directly to the merchant are completely distorting the deuterium market.
They made the rates getting so high, that they are the only one able to purchase it, because they don't use it with their fleets, but with selling it handsomly with the merchant.

They created an increase of the demand, which apply only to themselves, and also an inflation that avoids the fleeters to provide for their needs, and so to play.

We (fleeters) refuse this possibility, because it would mean our end.
This is why we attack and destroy as many "merchanters" as we can.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To sum up, a "merchanter" is a player that buys deuterium at high rate for those who sell it, but who doesn't really need it, and who sell it back to make easy money.
To suffer that kind of players, and that kind of gameplay will induce Ogame universes without fleeters, where miners only are playing.

And we hope this is not the end that the GameForge wants for this game, which is called to live through the universes mergeing operations.

Thank you for reading.

Just a few statistics in u66.fr :

30% of the military Top 100 are in (v) or (vi) mode, not in (vI) mode which means that they observe and want to play but they don't ...
14% " " " " " are in (vI) mode

Are you the GF to tell me something like that ^ ? Let the GF analyse that problem.
More I think it's wrong : in fact more fleeters means more expensive relocations and so on ...
and "merchanters" means only a few cheap calls to the merchant because, very often, they use big hangars.

And the way of merchant is another way like fleeters or miners.

And what will you think (and do) if fleeters decide to force you to quit the game because you are a "merchanter" even if it's not true ?
A wrong analysis of an account is possible.
I can't endure that idea because it's something which can exist and, in fact, it exists !

If you cant do your fleet make higher levels of deuterium mines. Or make less vessels xD

It's a joke I hope ^
The problem is due to modifications of make trade in Ogame, nothing else !

The fleeters problems are unstoppable bunkers, no more.

It's your analysis, not mine.

lol and if you are playing as a miner for many years and that, suddenly, you will have, due to the attacks of angry fleeters :
- 0 satellite
- 0 defense
- no more moons
???? You continue anyway ???

Please, try to put yourself in place of others.

Yeah, fleeters use relocations. Traders use MO for merchant and for reduce time that cost 216K MO ...so, why do you want to quit a par of GF financing ?
Having several ways of financing, are you going to remove one?

you purposely do not understand ^ ?
My aim idea is just to keep the game as good as it was thinking at the beginning of the Ogame adventure, which means with fleeters all the time !

I precise i'm NOT a fleeter, just someone who observes this game with attention for many years now.

but "The fleeters problems are unstoppable bunkers, no more. " wasn't a joke. It is something true, its impossible to refute.

and a lot of fleeters refute that !
one method among others : they play together in AG !
But it's not the problem we are treating in this topic.

I know that Iguypouf and that's why i say that to Raszagal.

Raszagal in France we use to say : a bunker, however great it may be, is always destroyable !

Otherwise I know what you say Iguy.
Often we say and read that :

"the purpose of the GF is to keep the biggest number of farmers; the fleeters is the part of the community which empty an universe."

but I hope it's not the GF analysis.

Regarding the method to implement my proposal, of course we can discuss this, but I know it's something easy to implement if the desire to do something is ok.
