has Autobuy been closed for too long?

The autobuy has been closed for a while now (I'm not sure exactly how long, but at least over a week), and I've been thinking; shouldn't we reopen it sometime soon? It was my understanding that closing the Autobuy was a temporary measure to stop hide dumpers. If they were from out of town, they're certainly gone now, and if they're from Chard, well..... . The autobuy is an easy way for producers to sell their goods quickly. Even though using grant holders is a good option when there has been hide dumping, it certainly shouldn't replace the Autobuy completely.

I say we reopen the Autobuy to see how things go, but if people start dumping hides )IE 10 at a time goes, not a couple every once and a while) , then close it for a few days. It makes it a lot easier to keep the market a decent levels without being so hidden about it.

Any Comments? Or is Crazy Marshy at it again?

I completely agree with crazy Marshy. And a question about the game's mechanics. Is the absence of any products in the TH market due to the closed autobuy? I mean, can't we sell there whatever the grant holders buy from the players' market. Would that be very complicated? Cause in my opinion it is important that everyone knows the price in which the TH sells at and whether one is buying from the TH or a player.

Well I have thought of this too, the trouble is, although the autobuy has been shut down for a while, I keep getting chunks of hides sneaking through (at reset or when I'm switching grants). I do wish to open it up again, maybe I'll start by leaving a pound or two so one sale goes through for the next couple days, and if hides are what comes in quickest, then I'll leave it closed, and if not then I'll consider opening it up a bit more

And the complicated selling/buying procedure has actually been working quite well so far, I haven't really seen any problems with it
