Marco Polo : Understanding the Market Demand

Today Marco Polo is arriving. As we have seen, he doesn't offer troop chest 😐.
I would like to give a couple suggestions about his merchandise, because he's a merchant and he needs to understand the market demand.

1. Marco has to arrive more occasionally, at certain/regular times, so we can manage our trade goods, rubies and crowns each time he arrives.

2. Prices for each offer has to be more reasonable. Usually troop chests are offered between 200-600 rubies, while a single troop tactic is also offered at the same price. That doesn't make any sense, not market-valued.

3. Exchangeable National Trade Goods have to be at equal value. It doesn't make any sense to offer it for 3:1.
It will be more reasonable to make it 2:1, or even better 1:1.

4. Rather than lowering troop chests price but offering them more rarely, troop chests will be better offered with a little higher prize (due to market demand), but in a regular basis. And at the same time, single troop tactics with lower prices could also be offered, or they can be switched each time Marco arrives. (E.g This week Marco offers troop chests, next week single troop tactics ; or at the same time they're offered together but with large price interval)

5. Marco could also offer random and/or specific Trade Goods and National Trade Goods to be purchased with crowns, cheaper prices than regular shipment and embassy shipment.

I'm curious why Marco only offers one type of NTG for trade. Does Nexon scan the player base to determine which NTG is in abundance that week?
What's wrong with offering 2, 3, or 4 random choices for trade?

Not sure why everyone else is ok with that 🙄 I hate it when he offers 3 salt for 1 tea! 🤣
Imo traveling merchant is one of the rare options for us to get benefits for playing for free. It could be improved.

whats in your inventory is more useful than whats in your storehouse. thats why im ok with the 3-1 trade. I made very good use of what i had saved up in my inventory while i was upgrading the CWA airfield and couldnt earn a lot of ntg’s

anyhow, marco laughs at your market demands with his monopoly
