Personally, as far as public cartels go I think they need a bit more structure. They need several elected positions, and they also need easy ways to charge dues and run their own bankaccount. Such as if you use a private design/recipe you are charged and during the end of the year you pay your dues or lose the privledges of using private designs.

Each cooking recipe gives me two items with a very small chance of three. So I could be charged 20 gold on a private design per recipe depending on how skilled that skill is.


Also dues would be deposited in that Public Cartel's bankaccount which can only be found in their corressponding city. Cartel money can never be deposited into any city but its patron city. This will help cartels build a basis for money to work on private designs and thus make more money with each private design that is used.

I know for one my Epicurean Cooking Cartel has been dead for five years and little effort has gone into Trademaster. It is very difficult to communicate between trade members and it would be nice to have a cartelwho with each members Skill Rank. Also a cartel channel would be very, very helpful into establishing ideas and concepts quickly and effectively. Logs and other things can also be used so cartel members know the Trademaster isn't stealing money and so on. It can also be used to see whether your designs have been approved and is a lot easier to look at than CARTEL EPICURE. Communication is key I feel in any cartel and we are severely limited in doing so.

Hear hear!

Join a private cartel.

Is it just me, or are private cartels broken?

I think it swallowed my design from last year. And having Silvanus and Spindle show up as members all the time... it's just unnerving.
