Three meanings of the term centrum are being used; the hub itself, centrum meaning globally visible trade hub, and centrum meaning the main trade hub that everyone uses.
Players could make any hub a centrum in the sense of it being the main trade hub that everyone uses. Trade hubs benefit from scale; the more users the better the hub is. So people would coordinate, similar to how they do irl. |

No one earns a living here in illy, we exist permanently for free, so the first one doesn't make sense in context.
Second one; retailer noun noun: retailer; plural noun: retailers
People can make things, sell them, and still be considered a retailer. Trader and crafter often go hand in hand |

Before Centrum became visible to everybody there were players that traded from the difference in prices.
People that didn't want to make a trader whined enough to get Centrum visible to all . That basically killed any player that wanted to play like a real trade market . Now you basically dump into Centrum or a hub in newbie ring .

In comparison to real markets, this is kinda an odd view. The internet exists; I can know the exact price of a given stock, commodity etc. in exchanges around the world if I want to. Are you really saying that the internet has killed any 'real trade markets' irl? While traders can make profits out of information asymmetries, it is not the only strategy. In addition to that, centrum doesn't actually stop people from listing things in other markets. Back when I was heavily in to trading, I had half a dozen traders which just roved around different markets checking and often finding good deals. |

And care more about how to level down its dificalty

Not many care about trade? A very very strange opinion to have; the vast majority of players participate in trade in some way. Crafters will sell their goods via trading, pvpers keep their armies stocked via trade, and builders use trade to fund their vast projects.
Now, there aren't as many big flashy projects in trade- war tends to get the headlines- but there are still people who trade constantly. Keep an eye on the markets and it's not hard to spot people engaging in trade for trade's own sake rather than for production/consumption reasons. I think if you want more people to engage in trade for its own sake, you should focus on the meta-game. Do a big flashy project; run a bank, a courier service, something that draws people in. Be the game you want to play. |
