The recent change log indicates the following--
"Minimum values of gold trade have been changed: Now you have to make a minimum offer of 50 Gold and 2000 resources."
However, that is not what is actually taking place. Instead, the minimum value of gold is 50, and the maximum resources allowed to trade is 2000. For example, I am not able to trade 15000 rock for 50 gold. I can only trade 0-2000 resources for 50 gold.
Please review this post and advise when the gold trading system will be fixed. Thanks.

Hello Phid,
There was a change to the gold trading implementing a minimum. You can refer to the changelog provided at the link below. Please direct all comments pertaining to this there.

I am well aware of that. I copied and pasted it above in my original message. Here it is again for your review.
The recent change log indicates the following--
"Minimum values of gold trade have been changed: Now you have to make a minimum offer of 50 Gold and 2000 resources."
What I am trying to explain to you is that either the statement you wrote in the changelog is incorrect, or the trading system is not working properly. Do you agree with this statement?
Again, the minimum value of gold is 50, and the maximum resources allowed to trade is 2000. Emphasis on the word maximum versus minimum. When trading for gold the maximum resources you can spend is 2000. Period. End of story. You can trade 2000 resources for 50 gold. You can trade 2000 resources for 100 gold. You can trade 2000 resources for any amount of gold over 50. However, you can not trade more than 2000 resources for 50 gold. 2000 is the maximum, not the minimum.
Furthermore, you just ruined the in-game economy. As a result, you will make less money. Traditionally, resources were traded at a ratio of 3000 for 10 gold (300:1). Now they can be traded at 2000 for 50 gold (40:1). Resources simply are not worth that much gold.
I give it about 2 weeks until you change it again. I believe that you will come to realize that people like me will no longer buy gold to purchase resources. Enjoy!
