Trade Functionality for non-donators at this time has been removed to eliminate "Farming" (I.E.

We do understand that not everyone is able to donate, and it is a shame that we have to withhold such features because of a small minority of cheaters.
So, if you're going to blame anyone, blame the cheaters!

I don't believe this is open for discussion but I want to shead my input on it anyways.
It should be possible, if you assign a uid for everyone, to track who is giving what to who over a period of n transfers. You could do a ip check aginst all these people to insure noone is farming. This would work for everyone with static ips. You could also tax any trades 20% so that trying to get around these checks by pushing money around a lot would result in very little getting past. Futher more you could have 'trade slots' baisclly a new upgrade would allow you to accept and trade more (perhaps have it take level 3 untill you can trade) and each place would only have say 5 transfers (in or out) a week, and you can only take 1 transfer from a given nation a week. each transfer could also be limited to say 2k total resources thus in a week you can only get a total of +10k.
This would keep you open to farming but what is to keep a group of people who have dontated from framing for a friend who plays a diffren server? Or farming for old friends on anohter server?
