I was doing the blast furnace, making steel bars. The problem is that too many people are buying the coal and iron to sell on the ge, leaving almost none for people doing the blast furnace the way its meant to be. I would like to suggest that they add a new store that sold ore that could not be banked or removed from the furnace area. This will hardly affect the supply of coal, as most people do not buy their ores or coal from the blast furnace, rather they buy it in bulk on the ge then use the banks in the ge.

I know that ironmen have instance stores, so they do not have to compete with non ironmen and I do not like having to compete with bots buying our all the iron and coal.

I know that jmods rarely visit the forums these days so if anyone like this idea and has a twitter account, I would appreciate it if you would post this idea where they are at these days.

Mechanically I'm not sure if that's possible. While the issue at hand I agree is real I don't think making an equivalent item that cannot be banked is the solution.

I'm assuming you're not an iron, couldn't you still buy them from the ge/other players/mine them?

I'm assuming you're not an iron, couldn't you still buy them from the ge/other players/mine them? I had an idea that perhaps they could sell tickets or something that you gave to someone at the loading spot. The tickets would be untradeable, and could only be redeemed at the loading ramp.

Yes, I am not an iron account, but the ge is way over priced. I sell to it, but will not buy there. For example, iron is 25 gp in the store and 111 in the ge. That is why the bots buy from the store and sell on the ge. Coal is 67 in the store and 172 in the ge. That means making a steel bar is 92 from the store vs 283 from the ge.

Yes, I can mine them myself, but it is so much faster to run them in stores IF I can get the coal and iron ore. I make my bond by making cannon balls. Steel bars cost 442 from the ge. That makes the cannon balls 110.5 gp from there or 71 if I have to buy the ores from the ge. IF I go from the store its 24 gp if I can use the stores. I don't have to make as many cannon balls for the bond IF I pay store prices. I would rather spend that time doing quest or other skills.

Nah, you chose to become an IM then that game mode has limits! You misunderstood, I am not a IM. I know they have an instance so they do not have to deal with bots and others using the store, but I DO have to compete with the bots. IM's do not have to worry about how much coal and iron is there. It maxes out and they can get what they need as often as they want.

In other words, the IM are the ones that are
NOT
being restricted in this case.

You cant report them if they emptied the store and left before you arrived.

That said, I have found a workaround. It appears bots are risk adverse, even if the risk is only perceived and not real. I have found 5 worlds that bots never go to. Occasionally, I did find someone hoping in, but they seemed real people.
