I agree, I have mines in both silica and oil, and there is NO incentive for me to offer it out to the public, for the reason that when I run out, I will have no supply left, and when I increase production, I will need more of my precious few resources. To mine resources, it is cheap, but the problem is, game points. No one wants to buy them or convert them and purchase mines, and when they do, it is often for themselves.
As a supplier, I would not put myself into a fixed contract. Like Deira mentioned, there is no incentive to fix my supply to someone, when there is an open market just waiting for my goods. I someone doesn't want to purchase my wares, someone else will, that and I can do it at a higher price.
This all fuels down to the production growth constraint though. The problem is that with the limits as it is, no supplier massively increase production because of qualification growth, unless that gets boosted, the continued massive undersupply of Mary will continue. |
