(Trading Update) Improved Trading System

We need a trading system where everything in the game can be bought and sold, and if we buy low and sell high we can make a profit.

Obviously, price points would be put in to keep people from abusing it. This will make players think about cost (time, effort) vs reward. Spending 64 emeralds for 1 diamond is very expensive; even for the best AFK farm. Diamonds are supposed to be expensive.  Even with the a full inventory of emeralds at this price point a player would get 27 diamonds. So, it would take a while to get a full inventory of diamonds with AFK farms; as it should be.  One could easily argue, it's faster to mine them out.

By the time you're done making a farm big enough to produce emeralds at a rate comparable to what is described above you're pretty much at end game and are beyond a dire need for diamonds and are building for creative purposes.

    No support. This addition would be abused to no end. Imagine if you made an emerald farm and just bought diamonds all day long. I don't think anyone that is prepared to invest this much would care about whether the prices change.

    I agree with @camcamcam753, this would be way too easy to get stuff.

    The current trading system is already being abused for its loopholes so this one is also gonna be abused. Players will always find a loophole to abuse the system.
