Hello developers and guys!!!!!!I continue to have one problem a dilithium exchange in zen for almost two months that after two years of playing I had not been made a modification to limit 500 and I had this problem.....
Is it not possible to have the trading limit as before?


thanks for those who will answer me and I hope it was clear. :)

    The limit hasn't been changed.

    What changed is that the supply/demand situation pushed the current exchange rate to the limit, and all of the pending "sell zen" offers went through, so now the "buy zen" offers are getting wait listed for when new zen gets posted.

    The dilex is capped and it's gonna stay that way because the devs don't actually want to do what they need to do to fix it.

    What do they need to do exactly? Limit the amount of dilithium available? Account refinement limit?

    Every single month they need to take some item from the lobi store and add it to the dilithium store. It would only be available for 1 month(in the dilithium store) and after 30 days it's gone(aka back in the lobi store) and replaced by some new item.

    Yes, that is only a "band-aid" temporary solution and does not address the problem long term. But UNTIL they come up with some "grand plan" to address this issue long term and UNTIL that "grand plan" is actually READY to go live, they absolutely NEED to keep doing "band-aid" solutions in the short term.

    That would help the dil desirability part of the problem somewhat...but they need to do WAY more than that.

    Hey, I agree. But we can't put off every temporary solution because it's not enough. Something is better than nothing. Until they figure out what to do long term, they absolutely need to do stuff like I described. And not just once, but every single month.

    i suggested this in another dil thread, but as flash sales, 24/48 hours only and maybe like 1 every two weeks.

    meh

    Agreed. Flash sales work better for this purpose, as they more strongly encourage players to spend their zen to buy dilithium, since they can't just wait to refine however much they need (in a month, players can easily refine a couple million dilithium). By comparison, if you don't already have enough dilithium to get what you want from a flash sale, you either buy dilithium or you miss your opportunity.

    I'll be honest, I really don't understand exactly what you're trying to say, so it's hard for me to give a precise answer to your questions. If you're using a translation service you might want to try a different one.

    I believe we all understand what a huge problem this actually is, no one has argued otherwise.
