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.

  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 .

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
retailer
/ˈriːteɪlə/
noun
nounretailerplural nounretailers
  1. 1.
    a person or business that sells goods to the public in relatively small quantities for use or consumption rather than for resale.
    "the big supermarkets have forced many independent retailers out of business"

People can make things, sell them, and still be considered a retailer. Trader and crafter often go hand in hand

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.

So apparently if you buy something at Centrum from a trader that you want to use you are not always a customer?

The investor usually has to be (really) patient though. Seems like your "easy" definition of customer is flawed.

I really hope your are trolling - it is getting ridiculous now Wink

trader
/ˈtreɪdə/
noun
  1. a person who buys and sells goods, currency, or shares.

How they do this, anything else they do, and everything else is irrelevant.
All that matters is that they buy / sell stuff.
