I'm fed up with this. Most things are unreasonably priced (eg: all gold production). The game is designed to force players to buy gems to get anywhere.
This is because people will not realise how much actual money they are spending on the game.
I am now selling all my stores. If I don't get barred from the site for my opinions, over the next couple of days I'm looking at the trade lists, if you want something then put up an offer for 1 bucket of water for 400 of what you want and if I have it it's yours.

Things that I have less than 400 of I'll put up for trade for 1 bucket.

Good luck tp all.
