    This is a seriously backward idea.
    I trade the market to grow my resources because bot'rs are farming the area out.
    You can't trade the market for profit unless you doing it manually.

    This discriminates against non-bot'rs, and small start up accounts whose techs aren't at a level to do farming.
    It also hinders start-up players from trading enough resources to build fast enough to get competitive.

    You continue to kill your own product.
    It's bizarre.

    Seriously? All the crap Evony has done lately, this is probably the ONLY thing I disagree with enough to say something. Limiting trade to like 10 transactions? What's the cooldown? This is rediculous, stop trading via bot if thats what you intended on doing, why should I have a limit to what I can buy by hand...
    Ok I have read through many comments here but I have not found which server this is actually happening on. Is this for all servers or are they working on s170 then implementing on all others? I have seen the prices on s170, however, I also play on 165 and prices are somewhat normal for that old of a server. Also if I remember correctly I have made some purchases on it not too long ago (2 weeks tops) and I am sure it was more then 10 transactions within few mins.

    Ok, so why I make a buy at E$ 12.00 and a small amount trades but the market price then jumps to E$ 26.32 and I have to cancel and submit a new trade, is that two trades or one trade?

    Is your market just going to be a retarded pot-luck hit and miss affair from now on?

    And just another thought ...
    100 trades a day x 9,999,999 food / 24 hours ==> 41M food per hour (this is of course assuming I only buy food, because pixies leave piles of gold under my pillow overnight.)
    Last time I played, my food burn per city was about double that, and I was a small player on the board, with almost no pults.

    Additional

    I was trading manually, and I got a message saying "you have made too many trades in a row".
    I buy when the price is advantageous to myself.
    If I want to do all my trading at a particular price, why are you interfering in that?
    Are we all supposed to be dumbed down to the lowest common intellectual denominator in the world?

    You can trade a maximum of 1 billion rez a day (100 trades @ 10mil ea)

    That is what Enriched is saying. It equals a max 41 million food an hour, which is a problem if you trade other res for food to sustain a large army.

    OK. In case anyone was curious. I have maxed out my trades on all my 5 cities(100 per day). I build a 6th city and built a market in it and I was able to trade again only in that city. So this means the 100 trade cap is per city. In case anyone was not sure and seeing how Evony has not bother to inform anyone about it...

    I sure there are people here who remember "captcha", when captcha was introduced, I was on S 153. The backlash was TREMENDOUS. Evony's stroy was it was to combat botters. Bots overcame that QUICK, so the problems it created for everyone were to no avail, it did not even slow down botts. A server-wide no coin movement was started, and pretty well maintained for about a month or so, (as people left lil by lil) with evony saying they will NEVER remove captcha, and that the 153 boycott was NOT losing them money. (How big did their noses gro on THAT ONE). Lo and behold, one day, they come up with the new "reports channel" bit and tell us on 153 that that and a few other changes are the trade off for REMOVING CAPTCHA. (They were not being quite honest) They farmed out the captchas to an outside company, more botters, more captcha, more captcha, more evony paid out, so, when they realized this, no more captcha. The Trade restrictions will most likely NOT be removed till the people hit Evony in their pocket... I hope I am wrong, but have already been down this road with them once before.

    What I want to know if the market prices are supposedly caused by players, either bot scripts or just demand...how can iron be 150 right before server goes done and 9999 when server comes back up. I was one of the first back on after this maint and those prices were there. So I assume now that someone has found a glitch to trade during maintenance? (note sarcasm)
