Trading Updates

let's be honest though, this method is not being done to prevent fraud, it's being done to get rid of credits on the hotel.

wow after so many steps forward this seems like one big step back

i dont really understand why they would do it other than being greedy

Hmm that's a good point actually - but then could they not have just implemented a way they could track the amount of credits given in trades from behind the scenes rather than doing it through changing the way trading happens for users too?

Oh yeah.

Ultra simplistic way of looking at it.

Furniture

FurnitureID	FurnitureName
1	Throne
2	Gold bar

Furniture_Users

OwnerID	FurnitureID	UserID
1	1	1
2	1	1
3	2	1
4	1	2
5	2	2

Users

UserID	Username
1	Zak
2	Luke

From that we know that Zak owns 2 Thrones 1 Gold bar and Luke owns 1 Throne and 1 Gold bar.

• Run a query at a point in time (where Zak owns the 2 Thrones and 1 Gold bar)

• Run the query again, say a week later (Zak now owns 2 Thrones and 40 Gold bars)

• Check to see if he has brought any credits.... he hasn't!

So did he legitimately gain 39 Gold Bars in a week or is something fishy going on?

As they have the ability to do this over all users I don't see why it isn't a viable solution. They could even produce a nice little leaderboard haha

I also agree with @Plebings; that it's a credit sink. Unless Sulake care to elaborate!
