Suggestions to new Material Trader

[hunterm101]

As a leader of a major player group, I'd like to bring the voice of around 500 people.

The material trader is a much needed step in the right direction towards eliminating a significant portion of the grind with engineers. We really appreciate this, a lot. But I'd like to point out that the large portion of grinding for engineers isn't actually for materials, but for data.

You've implemented a material trader, but please include data in the love of the traders. The data grind is ridiculous, as most of the higher grade stuff is already capped at the rates for which you can collect them.

Please?

Data trader exists. There are three types: Elements, Salvage and Data. Each in their own economy type.

Gotcha. I guess none of us saw that in the stream.

Did they say if we can actually sell the material, or is it just a converter to different mats?

They certainly didn't *show* anything like that, but no it didn't come up in conversation either. So - maybe?

Just a conversion, no credits are ever involved in the material trader process. From the official recap:

• Material traders operate on a true barter system. There are no credits involved.
