Seriously, please stop posting the luxury routes on the forums and screwing them up for people who legitimately find them. When you do this it creates a zergfest of players and they dry up ten times faster.

That's the modern way, I'm afraid.
In the time before everyone was connected, all the time, the Rare Goods mechanic would be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. It's reduced to something each newbie gets a copy of, even with a map, which drains all the fun and awe from it, IMHO.

Got to remember that the Forum is like your local pub. After a pint or two you get the measuring sticks out...

Not bad, I expected more flame from the users who wanted ez mode.
Agreed, and it shows something else- a mechanic from 84 doesn't work in 2014. Maybe the static rare thing needs rethinking and be, you know, more dynamic? More depending on players, their action, and other things? Then again it makes no difference currently as the only outcome is more credits faster, or more credits faster later.

Except they don't dry up at all because if you wait ten minutes the commodities market refreshes to its original state.
Gotta love the phantom fear of losing a perceived advantage posts.
I would prefer a community that shared information with each other. Helping each other.
I kind of felt the same way about the trading sites that helped you find profitable trade runs. I thought they'd ruin the game, they're not what Elite should be. I was wrong.
Did you read that? I just admitted I WAS WRONG.
Sharing information such as where to make good money in the game is exactly what I want from the community. Next time you're struggling, would you prefer people to not help you? Or would you prefer people to want to show you where you can make a few extra credits? Why do you want to keep it all for yourself? Isn't that a little selfish?
i had one that lasted a long long time and none seemed to be doin it but me.....so there are plenty of unkowns around just look
I though rare spawns as a limit per player and didn't chance based on supply/demand
Anyway the most common elite trading tool has them all listed!!!!!
these arent rares there better then rares
What with people posting routes, it allows space ner-do-wells to lurk in wait for all the fat juicy ships laden with goodness
In that case Solo or Group modes are your friends
Before the first nerf rares were better for ships up to Asp size (about 4-6M per hour in Asp, with some reporting up to 9M). Also a benefit rares still have is that they increase faction rep and trader rank.
(And a wholly subjective benefit is that rare trading is way more fun and eventful since you get to travel 160+ LY one way.)
