The Credit Market is really easy to use, and you can use it anonymously, but some people don't want to sell credits to people, or maybe outside an org.

Therefore, I propose that Credits could come with Permissions. You can use the same permissions flag you can use for a Manse and set it up so you could set permissions on your own Trade.

For instance, a good person might set credit permissions.

Then, when you sell credits, you can refuse making them available to either people you don't want to buy in-game (because they are the enemy and you want your sales to go to the "good guys"), or you want to avoid giving them to people you know are rich or buy lots of credits or are buying them just to resell. Nobody could see your permissions, a user without permissions would not see the cheaper credits.

I don't know how hard this is to code, and I know Credit Sales fall under IRE so this might require core IRE being involved, but I think it's a good idea and might be worthwhile. It would allow people to control their own flow of credits without having to do a lot of market trading.

I don't think that code can be modified at all... If it can, anyway, the credit market is supposed to be anonymous.

If you're such a stickler about selling credits just to your own organization, why not just announce that you have credits to sell on that aether then handle the rest of it in Tells?

Yeah, I think part of the reason the credit market was implemented in the first place (in Achaea) was specifically for its anonymous aspect. With credits, people don't really care who gets them since they're semi-OOC. E.g. a known enemy broadcasts "Credits for sale" via market, but people still buy them.

This would make the credit market lame.

It would also drive prices up crazy bad.


Rather people like us or not, credit traders who buy low and resell high stabilize the market a lot, and prevent it from going heywire.
