Wow.

Just.  Wow.

I don't happen to buy a lot of prestige, partly because the game is more fun FOR ME without the shortcuts.  I rarely even use the "free" prestige.  (I have no objection to other people buying prestige and gaining advantages they value from doing so.  Buy prestige and support Illy!)

However, I try hard to contribute to the game in other ways, and I'd like to think my opinion mattered to some people.

As for my opinion on this topic, I have no objection to having a marker for people offering a "guaranteed 6-hour delivery window" or whatever, which would require the use of prestige.  Or perhaps there could be a "trader rating" like Amazon, which would tend to go up for people who use prestige to speed up caravans.

I'm guessing a GM will point out at some point that all of this will be solved in some mysterious way by Trade v2.

Overall, as a non-prestige user, I have no objection to your proposal, although I'm a little offended by your suggestion that my view is irrelevant.  If nothing else, think of us non-prestige users as providing potential cannon fodder for your nefarious experiments.  Just kidding!

I would like an option for a trader to be identified as a prestige booster on caravans, with a customer rating system to track that they actually follow through.

ie., I order 100k iron from 1200 miles away from a prestige using trader, probably for a mark-up of course, I should expect that they use a couple double-speeds to cut travel time, even more if say, they don't log on till 6 hours after their goods where bought.

Oh, and sorry non-prestige users, don't care about your whining nor need your opinion, some people have no problem spending money on things they enjoy and should be rewarded for paying the dev's bills.
